A Tremendous Advocate in Unknown Territory

Kerry has been spectacular during my divorce negotiations. She has been a ferocious advocate for my well-being, and she has balanced guidance with sincere listening to my thoughts and positions, all with consummate knowledge of NC divorce law and precedence. I honestly don't think I could have fe...lt better represented, guided, and defended, while also feeling I could upholding my integrity and wanting to take the higher road in this whole process. I recommend Kerry as high as one possibly can.

Best employment and labor attorney!!!

Kerry Everett was the best attorney I could have asked for. She was proactive and persistent for a win for my case. She really went to 'bat' for me. I feel so fortunate to know her and have her represent me. She is a great attorney. Thank you so very, very much for your hard work, Kerry!

Excellent Care and Service

I consulted with Kerry after leaving a hostile work environment. Even though I quit, after hiring her, she was able to negotiate with the employer to make sure my needs were met. The circumstances of the case were very emotionally distressing, but Kerry was able to show compassion and support while... maintaining and exceptional level of professionalism. I highly recommend her.
