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.

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'd give 10 stars to Janet and her amazing team! Connor Green was the perfect lawyer for my child custody case. Connor was amazing throughout this challenging process! Always keeping his eye on the prize and never allowed the opposing counsel to intimidate us! He was so focused, persistence and professional- following the law and keeping my autistic son's best interest at heart from start to finish! Because of this I never had to go to trial, and I got what I wanted out of my child custody case! Janet and Connor kept me in check during the craziest time of my life by being consistent!! The team is informative, professional and gave me 110%. Connor is unlike any other lawyer while at our calendar call, he was the only lawyer that was present in the moment and kept his phone in his pocket when he was talking to me! My first lawyer never did this let alone gave me their full attention! DO NOT WASTE your money on any other lawyer! If you want a lawyer that will fight for not only you but have the best interest of your child, while following the letter of the law, then you need to hire Janet and her team and ask for Connor Green!

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**

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.

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!

I highly recommend Roy Jacobs for any divorce, custody, or child support case! He is by far the best attorney I’ve worked with or met, and I consulted with quite a few before meeting with him. He and his team stuck with me for over a year and I could not be more thankful for the work they put into my case(s). The team was always quick to respond to any questions I had, Roy made sure he had any and all information needed, and most importantly, he was 100% on top of everything in court. Nothing slipped through the cracks and he successfully got my family through an extremely stressful year. Highly recommend!

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.
