This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best Attorney in NC

Mr. Lea and staff were very in tune and compassionate during one of the most difficult times in my life. He fought for me and looked out for me and my kids future. He saw me at my worst and there were days I would just cry in his office - I was a basket case. Divorce is not easy and there are no wi...nners but after hearing other stories from friends; I am most thankful that I found the right attorney and I know my future is not going to be so bad after all. If you want someone to fight for your rights call him. It is a small investment at the beginning but the payoff in the end is well worth it ten fold.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
