If your legal matters can get in line and move at the pace of a "one-attorney law office" then…read moreyou'll be in good hands. If you have an urgent matter, you're likely to be dismissed by their office staff. Four Pillars is a "one-attorney law office" which is what I was told by the "office manager" when she explained they would not assist me with an updated trust certification document. They charged me and my wife over $3,000 for our trust agreement, but couldn't be bothered to open a document, change the dates, send it to a printer, and bill me. Apparently, Ms. Shovelin was "preparing for a month long vacation" and was not available to help me and my wife. Unfortunately, we needed the document within ten days for the title search so we could to complete the sale of our home. The office manger advised me I could schedule a new consultation in October (she knew we needed the document sooner, so that was dismissive and disingenuous) when Ms. Shovelin would return from her vacation or take a referral to a new attorney. When I asked her if she thought it would be more expensive for me to engage a new attorney than it would be if Four Pillars assisted me, she replied, "yes." Finally (and if you've read this far, thanks for "listening"), when I made the mistake of asking if they had no empathy for a a client in need, the office manager made it very clear that I was not a client. I was a former client. So yeah, no empathy. Contrary to the lack of empathy demonstrated by Four Pillars for a former client in need of assistance, we were referred by a friend to another Wilmington based attorney who understood our situation, her reply to the request was, "I can easily prepare the document for no charge, it will take me ten minutes." If you're looking for a competent and caring attorney, check my reviews for information about the Wilmington lawyer who cared enough to stop in the middle of a Friday to help two strangers.

Bradley Coxe is an attorney who also handles residential property issues, including Homeowners…read moreAssociation (HOA) disputes, in North Carolina. Mr. Coxe utilizes demand letters to protect client rights and, as noted by my experience, successfully avoided litigation by motivating the opposing party to acknowledge their legal obligations. He is knowledgeable, providing informed guidance, and skilled in courtroom matters if a situation does advance to litigation. His paralegal, Skye, is both knowledgeable and empathetic. I recommend his firm wholeheartedly.

Called their office for legal advice for a business I co-owned in California. Their girl asked me…read more10 minutes of questions and said someone would get back to me, nobody ever did. I feel being a business attorney you could at least call back and say we're too busy, or your needs are not something we handle. Probably better I found out about them this way. My opinion, call someone else.

I was looking for an attorney to do a living will and came across Zach on google.. I found Zach to…read morebe very friendly and he explained everything. I wanted to make sure nothing could be contested. I picked up my final copy today. He went over every page with me, and asked if I had any further questions. We also did the health care directive and power of attorney. I found his price to be very affordable compared to another lawyer I spoke with. His Mom the receptionist was also very kind. I would not hesitate to recommend Zach for a trust, will, or any real estate needs. Parking lot is small and shared with two other businesses, but had no issues both times I came.

Best Lawyer by far than any other lawyer I've ever had. Everyone who has hired him has had…read moreexcellent results . Very smart and wise young man. You would definitely want on your side in any court room. Have heard nothing but great things about this man. Has excellent secretary as well, who definitely stays on top of every aspect of her job and relays any messages you ask of her. Brilliant team who are highly regarded as one of the best, if not the best Lawyer I've ever encountered. And boy have I encountered my share. Five stars no doubt!

My husband and I had a great experience with Mr. Rutherford as our attorney. At our initial…read moreconsultation he was realistic and honest about the parameters regarding our case. Moving forward he prepared us both for the proceedings and made the experience as stress free as possible. We are very happy with the results from our case and would highly recommend Mr. Rutherford.

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

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, stay away from this lawyer…read more Guy was an absolute smart POS on the phone. I needed some recommendations as a new resident to Wilmington, I would've paid for them. But that typical lawyer attitude doesn't do it for me. Not paying thousands of dollars to have to treat me like a child. When I told him it wasn't going to work, he called my phone over and over to the point where I had to block his number. Update: if there is anything you want to judge before using this lawyer; look at his response to negative reviews, he can't handle them so he puts people's business on front street. Buddy you're a real piece of work.

Accidents are not a good thing, but having someone like Mr. Collins and his firm in your corner…read moremakes things much easier to bear. Though the accident was my fault, there was no judgment on their part, only a desire to help me get this all behind me. The folks at my insurance company were not helpful at all and their persistence in getting the documentation needed enabled me to avoid any charges or points on my record. A great job and Bryanna's voice reminded me that I was not alone in this.

After sending in my final payment to my trustee, and after over 4 years of making payments on my…read morebankruptcy plan, I can't help but reflect on how helpful Steven was throughout this process. He's communicative, understanding, and makes you feel like you truly have someone on your side. I've heard of bankruptcy lawyers becoming unresponsive after filing is complete (which was my biggest fear), but after Steven successfully objected to a claim a creditor attempted to make 3 years into my plan, I knew he was the real deal. Now I'm walking away with zero debt and am on the road to financial recovery thanks to Steven. Anyone on the fence about filing, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety-inducing creditors and collectors, should definitely sit down and get a consultation with Steven - trust me. No longer identifying with the financial disaster of 4 years ago is the best feeling!
