Excellent Attorney

I hired Mr Anderson after a car accident. He was there for me and explained what he was doing and what was expected every step of the way. He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable in his field. His services resulted in me getting the settlement I feel I deserved I would recommend Mr Anders...on’s legal services to anyone

Excellent Attorney During Difficult Custody Battle

Charles was my attorney during a difficult custody battle. He was compassionate and professional. His services were extremely valuable and resulted in me receiving full custody of my son. If needed, I would definitely use his services again.

Absolutely Horrible

Hired this guy, cannot say he is an attorney, to help me through a child support modification, he persented to me that my case was not over his head and that with the documentation I persented was what we needed to move forward with my modification. After given him $2,500 to open my retainer then ano...ther $300.00 cash absolutely nothing got done never heard from the guy again, after sending email after email trying to call his place of work finally received a return call which was meaningless and an email. He absolutely hustled me out of my money. Please beware of this guy. I will be filling a complaint with the State Board of North Carolina!

Horrible

Paid him 4k and he took my money and did very little. I emailed him on many occasions asking for updates and it would be weeks before I heard from him. Often he would not even respond until I would persist and continue emailing. Find a different attorney than this guy. If he asks for a retainer, ...I would not write the check.
