Allie Moore is truly an incredible lawyer and a wonderful person. From the moment I reached out to her, she treated me with kindness, patience, and respect. She took the time to really listen to my concerns and walked me through everything step by step, always making sure I understood and felt supported. Her dedication to my case and genuine care for my well-being went far beyond what I ever expected. Allie made me feel like I wasn’t just a client, but someone she truly cared about. I can’t thank her enough for all she’s done, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs not just an excellent lawyer, but also a compassionate advocate.

Granger and the team at Cape Fear Family Law handled my divorce case with the dignity, professionalism, and expertise that I had hoped for when choosing to work with him. He took the time to understand my case, routinely review and discuss strategy and "next steps," and he and the team kept me up-to-date informed on court and mediation dates, filings, etc. I'll go back to Granger in the future, if and when the need arises.

I cannot recommend Janet Gemmell and the entire team at Cape Fear Family Law enough. When I came to them, I was facing a stressful and complicated divorce case involving equitable distribution and child support. From the moment I started working with Janet, I felt a sense of relief and confidence. The entire team—including Cassandra, Kara, and Melissa—was professional, communicative, and tireless in their efforts. They took the time to explain every detail, from the complexities of the Equitable Distribution Spreadsheet to the ongoing negotiations for child support and alimony. They were always responsive and kept me in the loop on every development, which made a world of difference. Ultimately, Janet and the team guided me to a successful resolution. Signing the final Consent Order felt like a huge weight was lifted, and I am completely satisfied with the services they provided. If you need a dedicated, knowledgeable, and effective team for a family law matter, look no further than Cape Fear Family Law. They are truly the best in the business.

I had the pleasure of having Mr Benson as my divorce and custody lawyer and he exceeded my expectations. My first call with him I was very emotional and stressed and he immediately calmed my nerves and talked me through the process and how we were going to go about things. He made everything super simple and easy to understand as well as keeping me informed of everything regarding my case as soon as something new came up. I highly recommend using him if you find yourself in an unfortunate situation regarding divorce and custody. He will not disappoint.

Roy Jacobs handled my legal matters with such professionalism. He ALWAYS had my best interest at the forefront of his advice and when he represented on my behalf. I have used him over the course of about 3yrs and he never fails to return emails and calls promptly, with a willingness to help in any way he can. Thank you Mr. Jacobs, for everything!

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.
