After being married for 13 years, I was going through a rough separation. This was not easy for me and the separation also involved a custody battle for our child. I met with several attorneys and all of them were suitable. I just didn't need a suitable attorney, I needed an experienced, litigatio...n savvy attorney. Richard Gannt was that attorney. When we met over lunch, he was informatiive, empathetic and also ready to do battle in the courtroom. Richard was available to talk day and night. He has thought of innovative ways to proceed with all aspects of my divorce/separation. I have recommended Richard to all my friends who are going through a divorce. This process has not been an easy one but Richard has lessened the pain significantly. When I saw him in court, I was glad that he was my attorney and wasn't questioning me. Richard Gantt has given me back something I thought I would never have again, Peace of Mind. Thanks Richard Stan Ph.D.

I hired Richard Gantt for a high-conflict custody case, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Instead of representing me personally, I was passed off to another attorney on his team, Andrew LeLiever, for a temporary custody hearing. Not only did he fail to advocate for me, but... he also showed no care for my case. As a result, I was granted less visitation than the standard arrangement, and he didn’t seem prepared or transparent. All he offered was the vague assurance that I might have a better chance at more visitation during the permanent custody hearing. Throughout the case, I was given conflicting and misleading information, with little follow-through or concern for the important details I provided, particularly about the alienation of my children by their mother. As the permanent custody hearing approached, it became clear that the firm wasn’t committed to fighting for me. I felt like I was fighting a losing battle alone against a toxic ex, with little support from Richard or his team. Cory Lambert was assigned to help me later on, but he only further misled me into believing there was still a chance, which ultimately left me feeling even more isolated and frustrated. It was a complete waste of both time and money. In the end, I ended up making it easy for the court to grant my ex full custody, simply because I was worn down by the lack of real effort on their part. Furthermore, in my child support case, it was not this firm that helped reduce my payments to under $2,000. The reduction came after it was revealed that my ex's attorney and my ex-spouse had been providing fraudulent income information to artificially inflate the child support calculations. I’m grateful that the Child Support Enforcement (CSE) Agency got involved, and the amount was ultimately recalculated based on North Carolina’s child support guidelines. Even then, I had to advocate for myself to ensure they took into account the fact that I provide healthcare for the children, which further reduced the child support amount to something more reasonable. Unfortunately, I had to leave this firm because my last conversation with Richard Gantt was nothing but long-winded rambling. He was not up to speed on my case and gave me misleading information, which made me lose confidence in his representation. After realizing I was not getting the support I needed, I decided to terminate their services and quickly hired a different attorney. If you're considering this firm, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Richard Gantt came off as arrogant and indifferent to the details of my case, treating me like just another number. The money I spent on this firm was absolutely not worth it.

I hired Richard Gantt and was assigned Andrew Leleiver. If anyone does a quick google search about Andrew you will quickly see that he has had some issues in the past. I have had the same issues and Richard was no help. Ignored emails, didn't care about the situation, no actual legal advice was giv...en. Andrew showed up for a temporary custody hearing completely unprepared. I ended up having to hire another attorney. I am not sure where all of these good reviews are coming from.
