Posted by anonymous | November 11, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody Hearing

Me Hudspeth not only helped us but he believed in me when others were doubting me. Not only was he attentive, focused but he also helped get my child’s voice heard as it wasn’t before. I can’t tell you how much he did for my family as a whole. He will forever be not just our attorney, but someone we... call and friend for everything he did. If I could ever recommend an attorney in Onslow county or the surrounding area I’m telling you he is the way to go. He’s not going to make you any promises but when he gives you his word that he’ll do his absolute best it’s more than you could imagine. Again, I can’t thank you enough with our outcome.

Great representation.

Mr. Hudspeth took on my case when others would not due to a near future deployment. He navigated my work caused communication issues and assisted me through a difficult process towards an agreement with my X. He was reasonable and professional in his guidance. As a male service member I now have 50.../50 custody of my children, still have ownership of the home.

Divorce

I hired Mr. Hudspeth as a Divorce lawyer. He explained everything in detail. He promptly took action. Kept in touch through email. My case took longer than planned but to no fault of Mr. Hudspeth. The Coronavirus closed the courts around the time I should have had my hearing. As soon as the the cour...t system opened my case was pushed forward. I am very pleased with the outcome. I would hire Mr. Hudspeth again if needed.

Hired an excellent experienced attorney for Child Custody!

I was going through one of the very most difficult times in my life for my son and I. As any other loving parent or parents would fighting for their child/children's rights. This was a very very extremely sad,depressing and worrying time for me and as a mother I did not like that at all. My son is my... joy and my world and in a time like that I was looking for an well experienced, professional, honest and trustworthy attorney. But it was hard for me because every attorney I came upon did not give me the hope, trust and relief that they could bring my son and I justice like we deserve and are entitled to. As I was almost about to give up God lead and enabled me to Mr.Hudspeth a GREAT ON POINT, VERY WELL EXPERIENCED and CARING ATTORNEY to take on my son and my case and to represent our case the way my son deserves. These rough hard times were all worth it with Mr.Hudspeth beside us representing and fighting our case. We are represented with the most ever outstanding legal counsel any parent or parents could ask for for their child or children. Mr.Hudspeth took my son and my case tremendously seriously and making sure my son and I were on the right path to justice for our legal matters. My son and I can't thank you enough Mr.Hudspeth for how far you have taken us and have made such an impact in our lives. Thank you so much from within deep down in our hearts!! You are the MOST very best outstanding Attorney my son, me, my family or anyone else could ever ask for!!! God Bless You Mr.Hudspeth!!!

Posted by John | September 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

A Marine's experience with Attorney Hudspeth

I am a Marine and I was dealing with a uncontested divorced through base legal. After having complications base legal referred me to Attorneny Hudspeth. I was in serious need and he gave me sound advice and represented me in this case. He is very easy to talk to, and helps you understand all the lega...l mumbo jumbo. He is also very easy to contact through emails or phone calls. After about 6 months of trying to get divorced due to the fact of my ex dodging service, I was granted my divorce. He did everything he could to help me serve my ex wife. I thank him for his service in my time of duress. I highly recommend him and will utilize him in future legal matters.
