Some of us have jobs that we can't just take time off of like that. I didn't speak to him for months so we were not prepared at all!! My ex was able to have witnesses that I couldn't because my other sons do not live in the state!! Obviously they knew about the court date but I didn't! I would have to email the same thing over and over again and was billed for it. I found out very quickly that I was just paying my money for the lawyers to go in the back and make an agreement anyway. Things were not brought up that should have been such as domestic violence. I feel like my kids were not cared about at all. They just take your money and lack empathy. I'm still waiting for all of my paperwork to be returned years later!!!!

This lawyer not only charged us a $200 consultation fee, which seems to be the standard in this…read morearea, but also $1000 to file an answer with the courts that costs a quarter of that to file yourself. She claimed it was to "represent" my husband, and then wasn't in court at all. She has given him incorrect information consistently, nonsense about time stamps on court documents and judgments, etc. Do NOT use this lawyer. I recommend Larry Hudspeth!!

After being a partner at one of Onslow County's premiere law firms, Ann Maready decided to open her own practice, devoting her time, and effort to those needing assistance in family-related matters and domestic relations. Call The Law Office of Ann D. Maready for legal counsel.

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.

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.
