I always have a great experience with CFFL. Conner Green is doing an outstanding job. He is very knowledgeable and is a tremendous help. Not only is he well organized, he demonstrates concern for his client. I recommend Conner Green at CFFL because of his hard work and dedication.

Attorney Allie Moore and her team, including Sarah Winkler, Missy Taylor, and Halie Walker have been with me since my consultation date and on. Melenni Balbach assisted with the absolute divorce and Amy Burge helped with mediation. Not only was this group there for me when I knew separation, child custody/support, and divorce would be challenging - but they never backed down when things got scary too. I knew I had multiple people in my corner with facts and guidance, but also validation. I would highly recommend Allie and this team to be by your side if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. Thank you for all your hard work, persistence, and assurance throughout this process!

I paid $250 for a consultation with Jessica, got sent a client agreement and then she never responded back to my email. I wasted time and money on this law firm and I don't recommend it to anyone.

Connor Green provided exceptional representation during my divorce, guiding me through one of the most difficult periods of my life with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care. From the very beginning, it was clear that Connor approaches family law with empathy at the center of his practice. He took the time to understand my situation, explain my options, and make sure I felt supported every step of the way. His skill in legal writing and his ability to break down complex issues made the process far less overwhelming. Connor’s collaborative style helped keep communication smooth and productive, and I always felt like he was truly advocating for my best interests. What stood out most was his calm, steady presence during emotionally charged moments—he never lost sight of the human side of the case. I’m deeply grateful for the meaningful difference he made in my life. Anyone looking for a family law attorney who is both highly competent and genuinely compassionate would be fortunate to work with Connor.

We chose Kayleigh DavenPort again for our son’s adoption case after successfully closing our TPR case with her. Just as Kayleigh was responsive and extremely diligent in the TPR case, she took us seamlessly from TPR to adoption. She immediately began work on our case and was super efficient in getting us through the process for a successful stepparent adoption. Her trustworthiness and dependability never wavered during our cases. We would trust her over again!

Ashly F. went above and beyond outside of business hours to get me the paperwork I needed promptly.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review! We truly appreciate you taking the time to highlight the hard work Ashly Futch put in for you. Ashly is a total rockstar on the **#BestTeaminLegal**, and we are so glad she was there to get you across the finish line! We often tell her that the "business hours" sign on the front door is more of a "suggestion" to her when a client is in need, but seeing her dedication recognized like this means the world to us. We’re starting to suspect she might actually be powered by a secret, high-grade espresso machine ☕️ we haven't found yet! At Cape Fear Family Law, our "We Take Care" mission means doing whatever it takes to ensure our clients feel supported, even when the sun goes down. Now that the paperwork is off your plate and in the right hands, we hope you can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy some well-deserved peace of mind! **#BestTeaminLegal**

Marcus was responsive, courteous and professional

Response from the owner:I love hearing about any of our team being responsive and courteous, much less professional - of course I EXPECT it of Marcus, because it's part of his character - but I love hearing about!!! Thanks for the review and wishing you all the best in your future!

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.

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.
