Mr. Kurtz expertly guided me through the most challenging time of my life, from initial consultation to the finalization of my divorce. He was the first attorney I'd ever hired and investing in his services turned out to be the best money I've ever spent! He is extremely knowledgeable, very kind and although my situation was unconventional, he devised a great plan and executed it brilliantly. Every email, phone call and visit I had with him, his paralegal and his office was a pleasant one. If you need EXCELLENT representation, you've found it! You won't regret trusting Jon with your case.
Mr. Kurtz agreed to take on my complicated third-party custody case. He worked diligently to ensure that I was not only awarded the right to pursue custody, but was actually awarded custody of the daughter I had raised since infancy. Mr. Kurtz is an extremely thorough and organized attorney and was well-prepared for all of the many court hearings we attended. Although he was the professional and was always willing to provide his opinion, Mr. Kurtz let me make the final call about how to proceed with the case, if a decision was required. His communication with me was regular and consistent and responses to all emails or phone calls were always made in a timely manner. I would highly recommend using Mr. Kurtz's legal services for any family law matter!
Jon has been a board-certified specialist in family law since 2001. Only approximately 3.5% of North Carolina lawyers are certified as specialists. He has served as the committee chair of the Family Law Specialization Committee for the North Carolina State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. This organization is tasked with the responsibility of examining and certifying family law practitioners as board-certified specialists in North Carolina.
Jon has been a guest lecturer and author for numerous continuing legal education programs and publications and has additionally served as an adjunct professor teaching family law at the Wake Forest University School of Law.
Jon's practice includes all areas related to divorce, such as child custody, child support, post separation support, alimony, equitable distribution and domestic violence.

Jon comes prepared. That really helped in settling my case. I couldn't have asked for more from an Attorney. I would highly recommend!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"As a colleague and as a most capable attorney for any opposing party, I have the greatest of respect for Jon Kurtz! I have known him for nearly twenty years, and without exception, Jon is always fully prepared for either negotiation, mediation or trial. He knows the law, and has acquired a wealth of experience in dealing with even the most complex family law cases. Coupled with his unwavering good judgment and practical handling of family law cases, Jon is a formidable adversary, but always one who operates within the bounds of sound ethics and the ultimate in professional courtesy. I look forward to continuing to serve as a member of the Forsyth County Bar for many years to come!"
