Mark Williams and his fine staff helped me through a very difficult custody case in family court…read more The legal system is complicated and sometimes seems unfair, however Mr. Williams provided me with the advise I needed to understand. Mr. Williams is honest, direct, and is the kind of attorney that best represents what an attorney should be. The opposing counsel was very brutal and brought in a lot of irrelevant evidence to sway opinion. Mr. Williams was direct, honest, and stayed on course. I noticed in the reviews here that a few people complained about the cost. Well all attorney's are expensive and it costs a lot to go through this process so expect it. In the end the Judge makes the call and you want someone that has experience with the judge. Mr. Williams has that experience. No regrets, THANK YOU!!

As a pro se litigant, I came up against this law firm's Mark Spencer Williams. He starts off with…read morelots of threats of what the is going to do and after talking to another attorney who confirmed my assessment that his strategy is to bury you with pleadings, I realized he is simply a joke. That cost his client, the ex-wife a crap load of money because she had to pay for all those billable hours. Anyway, after a year of trying, he still couldn't beat me, so he decided to cheat. He suborned perjury with his client and I caught him cold. Now he is feverishly waiting to see what I am going to do with the evidence. He won't have to wait much longer....

He successfully defend an ex parte order filed against me during the holidays, and that saved my Christmas with my son. Over the years, I've witnessed a lot of other custody hearings before mine was heard. I've seen enough of those hearings to decipher the good from bad lawyers and Matt is the best I've seen in action thus far. I have never seen an attorney as tenacious and passionate in defending others as he is. From my experience with Cape Fear Family Law, they truly are a firm that will fight for you and not just represent to guide you. They are my Son and I's superhero!

I selected this firm based off the many quality reviews I saw online. I wish I had done more…read moreresearch as I would've ended up going to any other firms in the area. We needed to complete the final signing 3 times to get a valid document due to Marshall and Taylor making unacceptable clerical errors which made the documents invalid. They would not make it right with billing and proceeded to tell me I am on my own. For a firm charging $400 an hour we expected better representation and a higher quality product than we had received. There are better and cheaper law firms across the triangle, please do your research before making a decision with this firm.

She literally only had to make maybe four phone calls for me and take two phone calls for me the entire time she was retained This woman. This firm are bad knees. These people are criminal please whatever you do do not waste your money for one second because you end up with nothing but an empty-handed heartache and definitely not once standing by your side in court Marshall and Taylor you should be ashamed of yourselves, abandoning women and men in their time of need when it comes to custody and family law to say that you are the most unreliable most unprofessional firm I've ever dealt with in my life is an understatement. I truly hope that your firm dissolves as all you do is take high retainers and then tell clients that you don't understand and you can't help them and this is out of their scope so let me tell you one thing there is no way in hell I'm going to back down And let you guys get away with this. I will tell the public what you told the bar association, and that was because you answered their call three weeks unturned calls, unturned emails unturned unturned unturned.... In fact, my soon to be ex-husband was able to have his law firm. Send me a letter and the amount of time it took you to ask for my address, but you were the only one of three people who had how in the world have you guys gotten away with this for so long? I sincerely hope that you guys either dissolve or learn some moral conduct and especially study your ethics

The unused funds were not refunded. Keeping thousands of dollars for work never performed feels like a legal way to take advantage of a client. Extremely unethical.

I would like to recommend Nathaniel H. Cook (Nate) if you ever need a real estate closing attorney…read more We have purchased 11 homes and I have previously worked with closing/real estate attorneys for many years with careers in title insurance and mortgage banking, Nate stands out as a detail oriented, caring, intelligent, responsive and committed attorney. We had issues with our purchase and many unusual issues related to a new home build, Nate went above and beyond to answer our questions and advise us even though it was clear this was not normally part of the process he would need to advise on. I will be sharing his information to refer clients to him at every opportunity as I don't think you will find anyone better to assist you with your home purchase.

Not once did I receive any paperwork from the conversation they "said" they had with the insurance lawyer Seemed that the only contact was when I did the contact to the lawyer asking what was going on There is no proof he did anything at all After $20,000 to the lawyer NOTHING!!! And because I kept demanding they will no longer represent me because of "respect" I guess the last straw was I wanted to talk to them because they said they can't do anything else My fault for making the appointment to meet but I figured it would just be another $1,000 Bill

I hate to leave a negative review, but I want to save someone from experiencing what we went…read morethrough. Alex Gillie was hired to represent us in a custody case. Her lack of confidence alone is enough reason to not have her represent you in important court cases. She cowers to other attorneys and stumbles across her words. Alex Gillie does not have the best interest of her clients in mind because she is not confident enough to stand up to opposing attorneys and fight for what is right. Each time she appeared in court, she looked sloppy and unprofessional in her attire and grooming. Everyone has to start somewhere, but Alex Gillie is in the wrong field. She showed up multiple times to scheduled court hearings completely unprepared to represent her client, leaving us feeling helpless. It was so bad, that she flat out said she was not prepared and my husband was left with no option but to represent himself on TWO separate occasions. Please do not put yourself through the mistake of hiring Alex Gillie. She is the opposite of who a person would need going to battle for something as important as child custody. I feel sorry for anyone who has made the mistake of hiring this unprofessional and inexperienced individual. Some people do not have the funds to hire a new attorney after realizing what they are dealing with, so save yourself and look elsewhere. I have heard Heather Kaemmer is amazing and comes highly recommended. If you can get her, GREAT!!! But do NOT settle for Alex Gillie if Heather Kaemmer is not available to accept your case.

We've all heard the shark jokes, and in that regard, one…read morecould argue that she's very typical because she fights hard for her clients to get them what they deserve. But what sets her apart from other attorneys is that she takes the time to really get to know her clients and understand their circumstances because she truly cares about the people she represents. Many attorneys I have used in the past, or that friends have used, have just gone through the standard steps to get a mediocre settlement. Not Roseanna. She goes the distance for her clients because she understands and cares about their needs, and she knows the law, and she gets awesome results.

I do not recommend Roseanna Horne…read more None of my calls were ever returned, and the receptionist was rude and condescending, i belive these qualities to be practiced and common procedure due to the ease with which they were performed. After my initial consultation i was afforded by fate the time to decide a course of action, after reviewing all info and all sources, the best decision was not to dispute my divorce, as a precaution i though it smart to keep Mrs. Horne informed, as agreed upon by both Mrs. Horne and I, in case of any unseen issues or future issues, and indeed there was an issue that arose, and i called the Horne law firm, the receptionist answered and i was told that Mrs. Horne was not my attorney nor would she be, i was given no explanation, but i was assured by Mrs. Horne that she would be able to handle any divorce situation that i may have, however i was unable to inform Mrs. Horne of anything. I was led to believe i would be treated decent, and the difficult situation i was put in by Mrs. Horne and her office caused me extreme hardship that could have been avoided if i were dealing with decency and professional integrity, this treatment by the Horne office was curiously timed with the acknowledgment that my divorce was that of a same sex marriage, i believe that after my initial consultation was over and i left the office both Mrs. Horne and her receptionist made the co-desicion to discriminate against me for being gay, or perhaps Mrs. Horne and her receptionist are just bad seeds, for whatever reasons there was most definitely a major change in the way i was talked to and treated, it was nearly impossible for me to find an attorney at the last minuted, again an undue hardship i was trying to sensibly avoid during a very hard time for me, yet was forced upon me by the Horne Law Firm
