Highly Recommended

I am from Arkansas and found I needed an attorney in North Carolina, David and Josh did an amazing job, they handled everything very well when I made my way to North Carolina they had all the paperwork I needed ready to go. They were always quick to call back if they did not answer the phone. I felt ...completely comfortable through the whole case. Being that laws are different in Arkansas than North Carolina they made sure they were very clear on how everything happens there, and were able to successfully help me with my case.

Consultation

Paid $250.00 for a 20 minute phone consultation. Felt like I was being rushed, you think? Wouldn't recommend him! Save your money.

Replied last October 22, 2018

Fails to mention that there were documents to review that she had failed to produce and that the consultation was going to be continued after the documents were provided. Also fails to mention that her money was refunded because no consultation could occur without the document review. I will always accept fair criticism but this is completely unfair and a half truth.
