STRESS

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING CONSTANCE LOWE WHEN SHE CHECKED INTO A HOTEL I WAS MANAGING TO STUDY FOR HER EXAM, WHAT DEDICATION I THOUGHT BECAUSE SHE DID HAVE A FAMILY AT HOME, BUT THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS IS IMPERATIVE . I FOUND MYSELF NEEDING INFO ON A VERY CLOSE FRIEND THAT WAS IN A HALFWAY HOUSE FOR... SUBSTANCE ABUSE. KNOWING A SUBSTANCE ABUSER CAN BE VERY UNTRUTHFUL UNDER THE INFLUENCE I REACHED OUT TO ATTORNEY LOWE FOR ASSISTANCE. WITH IN NO TIME I HAD BEFORE ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED AND THEN SOME WITH A FEE I WAS TOTALLY HAPPY WITH. ATTORNEY LOWE IS DEDICATED TO GIVE YOU 100% AND IT DOESN'T MATTER YOUR RACE, GENDER, OR RELIGION. BEING AFRICAN AMERICAN I TRUST HER TOTALLY THAT SHE AND HER OFFICE WOULD REPRESENT EVERYONE EQUALLY.

Unhappy client that did not get services paid for

If you are interested in hiring a attorney run from this lady! She asked for our money upfront to take on a custody matter! First of all she has to referred to statue book to answer any questions you have because she's not knowledgeable about the law! On day of court she was late for court which didn...'t look good from the judges view. During the case she called the defendant by the wrong name which clearly shows she was not prepared for our case at all. Found in contempt of court for something she told us to do! Then when we called her out about the contempt issue she decides to pull off our case with no explanation! Want some not all our money back since she withdrew from our case. She responded with she had so many hours in this case but couldn't even get defendent's name correct! No invoices to show how our money was spent nothing! So I would seriously look in opposite direction from Mrs Lowe when hiring an attorney!

Professional and highly driven to help her clients

I have used Attorney Constance Lowe for many different services within the last year. She has assisted me in my Equitable Distribution case as well as Family law issues. Attorney Lowe will give 100% to help you with your case or issues that require a professional consultation. Many attorneys tell you... anything they think you want to hear in order for you to retain their services. This is where Attorney Lowe guides you in the direction that is in your best interest. Her honestly and compassion far exceeds any other attorney that I have used in the past. Feel confident that she will work for you and your rights within the law.

Yikes, Grace! I never did thank you for the awesome review you wrote. I very much apologize for that. So, let me say now, most belatedly as it is, "Thank you for your awesome review!"

I found myself in a pinch as my parents got older. My Father was sick and I was trying my best to get funeral arraignments, burial plots etc taken care of. Because the town Cemetery is in such a mess and they do not know were people are buried and not buried. Or ancestors that phased lots and never u...sed them are just sitting there. The town is not putting forth the effort to contact the heirs to let the know that the have plots! Attorney Constance Lowe took my case and did lots of research to prove that my husband was the other of three plots. After calls to the town, research and studing the NCGS and City laws for days on end. Attorney Lowe was able to type up the papers I needed to insure my mother and father would have there plots. My family will forever be grateful for her long hours of reading up on each section of the laws NCGS, City of Hillsborough and Town Cemetery rules (cause they all differ). Bottom line my father got the plot he wanted and so did my mother. She was very personable about my problem. Diligent in keeping in touch with me about what stage we were at or what stage we had not reached. She and her team work well together. Since I was caring for my parents she was very understanding about meeting after hours and times that best met my schedule. I would use her again and I most definitely advise anyone to contact her for services. At least see if she can help because she is so straight forward if she was unable too handle your case. I feel she would be honest and say that she could not. Thanks attorney Lowe!

Posted by anonymous | December 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Alimony

Alimony Won

Ms Lowe was my attorney for my alimony case in 2013. She was very helpful and was available for my numerous questions, calls and emails! She helped me sort out my fears as to what to expect from the hearing. She made clear to me my goals that were attainable and what were not. She was very knowledgab...le and professional, but most importantly to me was that she treated me like a person, not just a paying client. I believe I was awarded alimony because of her hard work and her genuine care for me as a person. I am grateful I found her, as my actual divorce lawyer was none of the above, thus forcing me to find another lawyer to complete this last part of that process. I was looking for an honest, knowledgable, helpful but diligent lawyer who would help me get the results I desparately needed. Someone who would work with me not just for me... I found Ms Lowe, who got me those results needed and consider her an absolute God-send. But even if the results would have been different, after seeing her work, I would still go to her again because of her character,integrity and diligence. I consider her my lawyer now and recommend her to you. I also welcome the chance to thank Ms Lowe publicly. Thank you.
