Ms McRae was absolutely wonderful and a blessing to me during my fight with Brunswick County CPS!…read moreShe always gave me good advice, and did not let me get away with anything or hide from anything, which was exactly what I needed at that very difficult time in my life. She was more than just my lawyer - she was a guiding light in a dark, dark world. She was an inspiration, and also held me accountable for myself. I was fighting not only for my children, but because I didn't want to let her down. She WILL tell u things that maybe are hard to hear, but are necessary for u to win ur case. She knows what is needed to win, and she will guide u to your best results. She is a pit bull in court! She will fight for u even when u start to lose all hope! She is very smart, doesn't miss anything, and thinks very quickly on her feet against the people who are against u. Something unexpected comes up in court that she's had no time to plan for? No problem! This is a very smart woman and she will be already formulating a game plan before the other side finishes their sentence! If u follow her lead and do what she tells you to do, u cannot lose with J.B. McRae! With Ms McRae, I did something that is nearly impossible - I WON! My children are home with me bc of her! I couldn't have gotten thru this or won this without her. When it felt easier to give up, she had my back. She had faith in me that I sometimes didnt have in myself. To this day, she is still a rock for me, an absolute angel, a blessing to the people she represents. I thank God for her - and you will too.

I would like to recommend Nathaniel H. Cook (Nate) if you ever need a real estate closing attorney…read more We have purchased 11 homes and I have previously worked with closing/real estate attorneys for many years with careers in title insurance and mortgage banking, Nate stands out as a detail oriented, caring, intelligent, responsive and committed attorney. We had issues with our purchase and many unusual issues related to a new home build, Nate went above and beyond to answer our questions and advise us even though it was clear this was not normally part of the process he would need to advise on. I will be sharing his information to refer clients to him at every opportunity as I don't think you will find anyone better to assist you with your home purchase.

Hired them to help with my claim from insurance that was being denied from hurricane…read more The only thing I got from them EVERY month was invoice approximately $1,000 a month. Not once did I receive any paperwork from the conversation they "said" they had with the insurance lawyer Seemed that the only contact was when I did the contact to the lawyer asking what was going on There is no proof he did anything at all After $20,000 to the lawyer NOTHING!!! And because I kept demanding they will no longer represent me because of "respect" I guess the last straw was I wanted to talk to them because they said they can't do anything else My fault for making the appointment to meet but I figured it would just be another $1,000 Bill

I want to start by saying that after reading some of these terrible reviews, it really caught me…read moreoff guard. Nothing in those 1 Star reviews sounds like this law firm. Amanda and her staff are probably the MOST professional and transparent business I have encountered. When you get a lawyer, you don't want someone that is going to tell you yes, yes, yes I can do that. You want the truth. Is this a good move? What should I do? How much trouble am I in? etc.. Amanda is upfront, honest, compassionate and most importantly, she is a damn good and professional attorney. She's what we old heads call a "straight shooter". She has fostered professional relationships with her colleagues and has a very good name at the courthouse. If she says she can help you, then she can. My case involved custody in which it would've and could've been contested but she worked closely with the opposing counsel and helped us come to an amicable agreement that was fair and in the best interest of the child and not emotionally charged decision making parents that are no longer together. I'm sure a lot of you can relate to that. The best part? It was fast. Her staff was very helpful and professional as well. If you want a lawyer that will be straight with you and tell you what you NEED TO HEAR and not what you WANT TO HEAR, then Amanda and her staff are the team you are looking for. She will not let you down and her fees are the best in the county without a doubt. Give her an opportunity to represent you and give yourself an opportunity to get some calm and peace knowing that she will fight for you.

Mark Williams and his fine staff helped me through a very difficult custody case in family court…read more The legal system is complicated and sometimes seems unfair, however Mr. Williams provided me with the advise I needed to understand. Mr. Williams is honest, direct, and is the kind of attorney that best represents what an attorney should be. The opposing counsel was very brutal and brought in a lot of irrelevant evidence to sway opinion. Mr. Williams was direct, honest, and stayed on course. I noticed in the reviews here that a few people complained about the cost. Well all attorney's are expensive and it costs a lot to go through this process so expect it. In the end the Judge makes the call and you want someone that has experience with the judge. Mr. Williams has that experience. No regrets, THANK YOU!!

He starts off with…read morelots of threats of what the is going to do and after talking to another attorney who confirmed my assessment that his strategy is to bury you with pleadings, I realized he is simply a joke. That cost his client, the ex-wife a crap load of money because she had to pay for all those billable hours. Anyway, after a year of trying, he still couldn't beat me, so he decided to cheat. He suborned perjury with his client and I caught him cold. Now he is feverishly waiting to see what I am going to do with the evidence. He won't have to wait much longer....

Over the years, I've witnessed a lot of other custody hearings before mine was heard.

In May 2018 I initially retained Ms. Rachel Sholar to assist me in a false Domestic Violence (DV)…read morerestraining order that my Ex-wife was attempting to get me charged with. This was a part of my ex plan to divorce me and get me to pay her alimony, medical, dental and half of everything that i worked for. She knew that I have a security clearance and if she could successfully get a DV on me it would destroy my career. Her friend successfully did this to her former husband and left him with barely nothing. (She's a Gold-digger or as my nephew calls it "she's trying to come up on you") (Beware Jacksonville, there's a gold-digger back on the lose and she's hungry) With the help of Ms. Sholar, we caught on to her scam. Ms. Rachel's subpoena witnesses and exposed her in court. After the case was dismissed, Ms. Sholar advised me the next steps and I retained her for the divorce proceedings. In 2019 Ms. Sholar got me an absolute divorce without me even going to court. Since I had walked out and left my ex with everything, I thought she would go away. But in 2021, my Ex came back again with her lies attempting to get money, alimony, medical, and half of everything that I owned (even down to the lawnmower and tools) under NC § 50-20. Again Ms. Sholar and her team (Ms. April and Ms. Jennifer) exposed her and sent her back in her hole for the final time with minimal impact to me. Her and her team remind me of a water Moccasin (If you think you're going to step on her client and get away with it, prepared yourself for many days of excruciating pain and possible loss of limb or life). If you're going through a divorce, custody or any ordeal involving family law a want someone that knows law and will fight for you like a mother fighting for her child... Ms. Sholar's team is the one to have in your corner.

The retainer fees are reasonably priced. Mr. McNamara is a vastly experienced and awesome attorney,…read morehowever, the paralegals working in the office are the ABSOLUTE WORST! If you retain the firm's services, you have to micromanage the paralegals to ensure the legal administrative tasks are completed and ensure they're still working on your case. Good luck getting any response from emails or phone calls. The only effective way to communicate with the firm is to show up to the office and speak with them face-to-face. If they're going to deal with a high volume of clients and court cases, they need to hire more staff and get organized. I wish I can give them five stars.
