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 recently worked with Cape Fear Family Law on a tough, drawn-out custody case and they made a real difference. My attorney, Waneta Ellis, was steady and practical the whole way through. She explained things clearly without sugarcoating, kept me focused on what actually mattered, and helped me secure sole legal custody of my daughters. It was a long process, but having someone competent and responsive in my corner made it more manageable to endure. I’d recommend them if you’re dealing with a complicated family law or custody situation.

My divorce and equitable distribution case was one of the most difficult experiences of my life after nearly 39 years of marriage. The process was lengthy, emotional, and made even more challenging by a very difficult and high-conflict opposing party. There were times when I felt frustrated, overwhelmed, and impatient with the pace of the process. I was fighting for my future and often dealing with anger, fear, and uncertainty. Through those difficult moments, Allie Moore remained steady, professional, and focused. She knew when to listen, when to reassure me, and when to help me see the bigger picture. Like any long and complex case, there were decisions made along the way that I did not always agree with, and there were times I wished communication had been better. However, I appreciated that concerns I raised were addressed fairly. In particular, when issues arose regarding fees related to matters I felt were not handled appropriately, those concerns were heard and resolved. What stands out most is the outcome. Allie remained committed to achieving a fair result and helped me navigate an incredibly challenging legal situation. Her knowledge, professionalism, and ability to stay focused despite the emotions involved were invaluable. No attorney can remove the pain of divorce, but having someone who can guide you through the process and advocate for you effectively makes a tremendous difference. I am grateful for the final outcome and for Allie's efforts in helping me move forward into the next chapter of my life.

Representation from Granger Benson and the entire staff at Cape Fear Family Law was truly phenomenal. Granger helped me finally complete my divorce and move forward with my life after years of frustration with prior legal representation. Before hiring Granger, my case had been dragged out for years, was poorly handled, and ultimately cost me thousands of dollars in unnecessary post-spousal support. Once Granger took over my case, everything changed. In less than a year, I was finally on a clear path toward closure. His meticulous attention to detail, strategic approach, and unwavering dedication ensured that every aspect of my case was thoroughly addressed. Granger not only secured a favorable outcome in mediation, but he also provided genuine support throughout the process—he truly cared about me as a client and about my overall well-being. Communication was outstanding; I consistently received timely responses, and when Granger was unavailable, his staff promptly stepped in to answer my questions. This level of responsiveness was invaluable, especially after my previous attorney routinely took weeks to respond, which caused significant financial and emotional stress. I am extremely grateful for the exceptional service I received and highly recommend Granger Benson and Cape Fear Family Law.

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.
