Will Not Recommend

Do Not Hire Attorney Kimrey . I retained Ms . Kimrey for $2,250 with a $1,500 deposit . Her and I spoke 2-3 times over the phone regarding the case and she spoke with the responding police officer to obtain his supporting statement. Each time that I ever called the office I was advised Ms Kimrey was ...in court and unavailable. She appeared at my initial appearance and was granted removal from my case for conflict of interest in another case that she representing . I was giving a refund of $300 . She charged me $1,200 speak with me 2-3 times via phone and to appear in court one just to be asked to be removed . Her secretary advised me that I was billed each time I called Ms.Kimerys office even if I never spoke with Ms Kimrey . So, I’m charged Attorney Fees to speak with a Secretary .lol .

Top notch, successful representation.

When I was a teen, I was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana. Years later and on several occasions, this charge affected my ability to secure employment. Most recently, it prevented me from joining the military. Being a much different person than I was at 15, I decided to hire Ms. Kim...rey for an expungement. The process in NC is a lengthy one, taking up to 6 months or more. Ms. Kimrey kept me informed, told me exactly what to expect and when, and always returned phone calls promptly. Her knowledge and professionalism put me at ease about this matter, which was something I thought would haunt me for the rest of my life. I was successfully granted an expungement. I can now take my life in a different direction without fear of my past hindering my success. I will hire Ms. Kimrey in the future, if needed, and I will also highly recommend her to friends and family.

traffic ticket

My son got a speeding ticket in a county that we did not live in. I was told Meleaha Kimrey could help him with this and so I contacted her. She was able to take care of it without us going to court. He would have lost a day of work and he is a single father and could not afford to be out of work. Th...anks to her it was resolved and he did not have to miss work or be in court. We where very pleased with the way she handle this matter for us and would tell anyone if they needed a great lawyer that could help you she would be the person I would recommend.
