While I was not able to use them for Vance County, an area they do not cover, I'd consider only Maitlin for any properties in Raleigh area, and, imho, so should you.

I used Scott to handle my divorce in 2016. My ex was very difficult and the negotiations for a…read moresettlement were drawn out, through no fault on our side. Scott helped me hold strong and ultimately agree to a settlement that was fair to both sides yet was more than acceptable to me. Not only did he offer great legal advice and prevent me from just giving in to get it done, but he also helped me on the personal and emotional side of the ordeal and kept me strong until a settlement was reached. I found Scott to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced. When the ex came back looking for more (the first time,) he dismissed her demands and she went away. Now that she has come back (the second time,) he is helping me fight back hard and put an end to this nonsense. The fact that she has come back twice is a good indication that Scott's original counsel prevented the other side from getting their way. I am not sure about the earlier review, but Scott has always been very responsive and has returned my phone calls promptly. He would even fit me in between his court appearances. Scott was my second attorney during this divorce. The first one "nickeled and dimed" me for every minute but never truly answered my questions. Scott has been more than fair in terms of his fees and did not charge me to read every text or answer every call. He always provided answers to my questions and would elaborate and expand upon them and offer additional strategies. I would highly recommend Scott if you find yourself in the financial battle of your life.

Scott is not only very knowledgeable but also enjoys an excellent reputation at the Wake County family court, which is important. While other lawyers might camouflage their weakness in court by acting as very expensive therapists, Scott is focused on the facts of your case and makes sure you will get the best possible outcome. James, his paralegal, is very caring, helpful and seems to have unlimited patience. Trusting a person is hard, especially in the emotional turmoil that comes with a divorce. I learned to trust Scott and follow his lead and never regretted it standing next to him when the judge announced the ruling. Scott has passion and a very good heart. He always will be my hero.

Mrs Patrick dismissed my case intending to refile and did it WRONG. The opposing attorney told her TWICE that she was doing it the wrong way. As a result my entire case was dismissed. I had to allow her to fix her mistake . The NC bar has already agreed she did indeed mess up. She lost the appeal and Rule of 60 (do-over) cases. As a result...I got nothing- no child support, alimony OR retirement. She has the least amt of liability insurance an attorney can get (100k) and NOTHING is in her name. I paid her over 50K- she had to do an appeal and rule of 60 for free. She now has several attorneys representing her, and their attorney fees are paid by liability insurance. She refused to settle or discuss a settlement. I never felt she had my back, intentionally put things off, and was a terrible advisor. We never had a meeting before mediation, she was never prepared, and always seemed lost when appearing in court, and was dominated by the opposing attorney. I do not recommend using her !
