Thank you, James Rainsford and Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave, Merritt & Rainsford law firm.

Lynn Prather is an amazing family law attorney. She navigated me through two mediations (separate…read moreissues), a 50B renewal, custody evaluation mediation, and a custody hearing which ended with a Custody Order by Consent in my favor; all with great success. Lynn dealt with my bullying ex and his unreasonable attorney (both gifted with great verbosity); she listened to them to learn their few strengths and many weaknesses and used them all to help me get a better outcome for my case. Her understanding of family law, court, and the Judge assigned to my case and how to use it all to my best advantage was perfect. I have already recommended her to a couple of people and will continue to do so. For women who are dealing with custody and 50B issues: Lynn will GO TO BAT for you and make sure you stay protected AND help you protect your child(ren). I felt like she took a personal interest in my case but still remained objective, and was able to step back to make sure she had every piece of evidence and case law available that we needed to show why I was in the right.

Mrs Patrick dismissed my case intending to refile and did it WRONG. The opposing attorney told her TWICE that she was doing it the wrong way. As a result my entire case was dismissed. I had to allow her to fix her mistake . The NC bar has already agreed she did indeed mess up. She lost the appeal and Rule of 60 (do-over) cases. As a result...I got nothing- no child support, alimony OR retirement. She has the least amt of liability insurance an attorney can get (100k) and NOTHING is in her name. I paid her over 50K- she had to do an appeal and rule of 60 for free. She now has several attorneys representing her, and their attorney fees are paid by liability insurance. She refused to settle or discuss a settlement. I never felt she had my back, intentionally put things off, and was a terrible advisor. We never had a meeting before mediation, she was never prepared, and always seemed lost when appearing in court, and was dominated by the opposing attorney. I do not recommend using her !

First and foremost, it's not one of those companies that market hard to get your business. I found these guys by word of mouth. The place seems to be run by mostly family. The lady at the front desk is beyond kind, friendly, and helpful. People have to retain legal services and the people in this place take the edge off the stress you have. They don't nickle and dime you. They charge you a fair price and that's that. They also take genuine interest in your case. I like this place mostly because it seems to be the first firm I've visited that doesn't look like a "luxury apartment complex." It's decorated classy and traditionally. Makes me feel like I'm being charged for their services and not for their furnishings. They are also really good. Beyond professional and smart. They stay on top of everything. With my paper work I have copies of everything. They answer emails timely and spend a decent amount of time with you. Mostly mid to older lawyers with a lot of professional experiences in multiple fields.

Last year I asked NicholsonPham to help me with a name change. They provided me with a long list of…read moredocuments to obtain and paperwork to fill out. I struggled with this. I have a neurodevelopmental disorder. I found the list overwhelming and the whole point of hiring a lawyer was to minimize what I was going to need to do myself. I was also seeking a name change to remover my former abuser's name from my identity and dealing with this was triggering. I tried to explain this to their legal assistant but that didn't make any difference. I would have paid for additional help, but none was offered. No empathy was available. In fact, their legal assistant was rude and hostile with me, and with the friends who signed my legal attestations. My experience with NicholsonPham was horrible. Their assistant at that time made me feel awful. What should have been freeing was instead re-traumatizing.
