Save your money and go with a firm that is capable and professional. I just found out this morning that my lawyer was disbarred 45 days after unanswered emails and texts. DO NOT GO WITH THIS FIRM FOR ANYTHING. Here' is my final email to them detailing my experience followed by a link to the incident: Wilson Reives & Doran 1502 Woodland Avenue Sanford, NC 27330 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the legal representation I received from your firm, specifically from Jon Silverman, in relation to my case which culminated in a court hearing on July 25, 2024. It has come to my attention that there were significant misrepresentations and omissions regarding my advocacy during this critical time. First and foremost, Jon Silverman failed to appear at my hearing, leaving me with Mrs. Doran, who, while undoubtedly competent, was unfortunately not adequately familiar with the particulars of my case. As a direct consequence, I was compelled to concede on disputes that I firmly believe I had strong grounds to contest. The implications of this lack of representation have been detrimental, particularly to my daughter, who is bearing the consequences of these proceedings. Despite providing Jon with substantial evidence and documentation over several months leading up to the case, I found that critical information was not communicated to Mrs. Doran until the night before the court date. Furthermore, I was completely unaware of Jon's surrender of his law license in June 2024. As a client, I believe it is essential that I am informed of any circumstances that could impact my representation, particularly matters that occurred mere weeks before my court date. After the hearing, Mrs. Doran assured me that she would follow up regarding necessary actions, such as the Child Support payment I am obligated to make. However, I have not received any further communication or updates on this matter. Since the court date, I have made numerous attempts to contact Jon via email and phone, all without any response. I was also never notified by your firm that Jon was no longer representing me, which is both unacceptable and unprofessional. To compound the issue, I was informed by Mrs. Rincon just this morning that Jon has been unable to practice law since my hearing date. This revelation is alarming and underscores a fundamental breakdown in the duty of your firm to keep clients informed about their legal representation. Additionally, I find it troubling that Mrs. Doran informed me on the day of the hearing that "Jon is in another case today and unable to make it." Such a statement has left me feeling misled, particularly when considering the underlying reasons for Jon's absence. In light of these circumstances, I am requesting an immediate refund of my retainer in full. The level of service I received does not meet the standards promised by your firm and has been, frankly, outrageous. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter.

We called Alex to see if he was accepting new clients and I can honestly say we are so happy we did! He returned my call within an hour and from the moment he did I already felt as if we were his only clients. Every time I called, he either took my call immediately, or returned my call within an hour. When we met with him to go over what needed to be done to purchase our house, he explained everything thoroughly and made sure all of our questions were answered. His knowledge of the many details gave us the security we needed to be sure we did everything we needed to do, as well as to be sure whatever terms we agreed to were in our best interest.
