I highly recommend Justin and Cape Fear Family Law as ethical, knowledgeable and supportive. Justin was incredibly helpful during a time where I needed unfiltered, factual advice. His patience through the experience was so appreciated, giving me the time I needed to decide the direction I wanted to take.

I had a great experience with CFFL of Wilmington. My lawyer, Connor Green, was a pleasure to work with. Mr. Green was always available to talk about updates and changes. He expedited my custody case and I can honestly say that I will call him again for future family needs.

I hired Allie Moore during a very difficult divorce, and I cannot say enough good things about her and her team. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, thorough, and consistently on point. Allie clearly knows the law inside and out and handled every aspect of my case with confidence and professionalism. She was phenomenal to work with, always accessible when I had questions, and made an extremely challenging process much more manageable. I highly recommend Allie Moore and her team to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.
Matt G was incredible from start to finish. I couldn’t be more happy with the results of my case and the professionalism from him and his firm. I greatly recommend anyway with any cases in family law go with them. Trust me it makes a difference!

I used this law office on the at the recommendation of a friend back when Janet Gemmell relocated to the Wilmington area. I needed help with an issue regarding my divorce recently and her office was the only law office I considered contacting. I read the biographies of the lawyers there and felt an immediate connection to Granger Benson. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful, knowledgeable, professional, and helpful he was! He left no stone unturned and answered every question I had and more. Mr. Benson was readily available whenever I needed him. He was very attentive to my needs of his profession even though I was states away. I can not express my sincerest heartfelt thanks to him and this particular law office enough for all they have done for me!!!

Areas Of Practice

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.
