Connor Green was an amazing attorney and helped me tremendously with my Child Custody and Child Support cases. He is truly an advocate for his clients and I feel it’s important to be heard in matters such as these. Thank you Connor Green for everything you’ve done for me and my daughter.

Janet is wonderful. Brilliant and responds quickly.
Bill Mathias
Janet is by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with. She is courteous, competent, values her clients and their time. She is very responsive and responds in a timely manner.
Matt Wooten
Would highly recommend CFFL! The entire office staff, support team, and especially Matt Greiger were more than just legal help during a very difficult family case. Matt is extremely knowledgeable, strategic, and is focused on winning for his clients. What was even more impressive was his support team and the office as their empathy, compassion, and understanding throughout the entire process was over the top!

Kayleigh Davenport recently represented me in a complicated, what felt like ever changing legal matter. Due to the circumstances of my case, it took nearly 8 months to resolve. I have had other attorney’s in the past and can say one of the things that set Kayleigh apart is that she genuinely listened to what I wanted to get accomplished. Without going into detail, what I wanted evolved over time and instead of feeling pressured by her, she made me feel confident in my own decisions. Her office was transparent from the beginning what the cost was going to be so there was not confusion. I highly recommend Kayleigh to anyone seeking a family law attorney!!!

Had the pleasure of working with Roy Jacobs and his team for the entirety of my divorce, child custody, and child support process. They guided me through it with an incredible amount of professionalism, subject matter expertise, and empathy. They made a painful process as painless as possible, and I cannot thank them enough. I give nothing but my highest recommendation for this firm, Roy, and his team to anyone requiring legal representation or counsel regarding Family Law.

Posting my review for my Cape Fear Family Law Attorney, Mr. Granger Benson.

I cannot thank Mr. Benson enough for everything he did for me during my child custody case. From the very beginning, he was compassionate, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about family law. He guided me through every step of the process with patience and clarity, always making sure I understood my options and felt supported. This has been a long battle since November 2023 but all worth it in the end.

In the courtroom, he was truly remarkable. His intelligence, quick thinking, and calm presence under pressure were unmatched. No matter how tense or difficult the situation became, he handled it with absolute professionalism and confidence. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my case and was fully invested in helping me succeed.

Because of his dedication and expertise, I was able to win custody of my children—a result that means the world to me and my family. Beyond being a phenomenal attorney, he is also a great person who treats his clients with respect and dignity.

I would highly recommend Mr. Benson to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He is not only skilled and intelligent, but also someone you can truly trust to stand by you when it matters most. He made sure to keep me informed and was honest and true the whole way.

Wes was very understanding and easy to talk to. He helped guide me thru the process making all the steps easy and reassuring.

Child custody and visitation are two of the most important issues that stem from a relationship failing, but they are not the only issues. Often with relationship dissolution the financial tensions are extreme. Managing retirement division through equitable distribution and cash flow between two homes through alimony is fraught with conflict. We take care to guide clients through the legal landscape, out of court negotiations, and in court processes that sometimes are needed when parties cannot agree.
