Once I got it signed and emailed to them and then snail mailed to them... I called to see if they received the snail mail a week later.... I haven't heard a word....so now they have the documents signed and haven't released funds and have left me not knowing that they have received the paperwork or cleared title.... so obviously I'm getting nervous. I'm guessing it's OK, but they have totally left me in the dark.

Overcomplicated and Excessively Expensive Estate Documents…read moreWe hired Alan Dickerson to prepare a straightforward will and trust for my husband and me. Our needs were simple, but Mr. Dickerson produced an almost 100‑page trust and a 36‑page will filled with dense legalese, irrelevant clauses, and redundant provisions. The result felt like "word salad" and created documents that would be difficult for any executor to follow or administer. We were charged thousands of dollars, which we believe was excessive given the simplicity of our estate. We provided Mr. Dickerson with a Maryland will and trust that were drafted to our preference for simplicity and asked him only to revise them to be compatible with North Carolina. The Maryland attorney's documents were readable, about one‑tenth the length, and cost roughly one‑tenth of what Mr. Dickerson charged. Pros: If you put your trust in Alan he will push you through the process. Documents are thorough (if you need a highly complex plan) Cons: Unnecessarily lengthy and complicated documents for a simple estate Excessive fees Many provisions did not apply to our situation and added confusion Did not simply adapt our Maryland documents as requested

I needed to simply make a few updates to my estate documents, which were done eight years ago in…read moreNC. I hired Mark Costly, who produced all new documents, but he would not let me read them. Instead, at my review before signing, he speed-read parts of them to me so fast that I couldn't tell what they were referring to or what they meant, although I was able to spot some important errors. When I asked for a copy to study, I was told that they do not provide copies to clients until they are finalized and signed. Why? Because "clients would have questions that would take too much time of his time to answer"! I lost my deposit, which was half his fee and nearly as much as I paid for the original documents.

Navigating a high-conflict divorce is one of the most challenging experiences anyone can go…read morethrough, and I was no exception. I walked into Attorney Averett's office terrified of my ex, having endured years of erratic behavior, substance abuse, betrayals, and emotional abuse. From the very beginning, Melissa Averett's expertise came front and center, and I never lost confidence in her ability to see me through my legal matter. Melissa and her paralegal, Marissa, not only helped me put the pieces back together for myself and my children, but they also empowered me throughout the process. They provided the guidance, support, and knowledge I needed to move forward and build a new life on the other side. I learned so much during this journey, and I am stronger today because I chose Averett Family Law. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone facing a similar situation.

I've used Maitland and English Law Firm for multiple reasons: (3) personal home closings, legal…read moreguidance on business contracts and business landlord/tenant guidance. In every instance, I have had great experiences. The home closings, with Michele English, have gone very smoothly and there were zero issues. When I'm doing a real estate transaction Michele is THE attorney that I use and I recommend her, without hesitation. Robert Maitland counseled me on a contract matter, with a large business, that protected me from inadvertently breaching a contract. His guidance helped me to ensure that I could terminate the contract without violating any terms. He'll definitely give you sound advice that empowers you to make solid, informed decisions. Most recently I used Sarah Reddy to counsel me on a landlord / tenant issue on a commercial property that I own. Her guidance gave me peace of mind that I could protect myself as a property owner and, of equal importance, protect my professional & personal reputation. She took a great deal of stress off of my shoulders by expertly helping me to manage a very difficult tenant. Maitland and English Law Firm can cover a lot of areas of legal expertise but, what I've always appreciated, is that they'll also refer me to someone if they feel I can be better served outside of their firm. They are my first phone call when I need any legal advice and guidance.
