Waneta made one of the most difficult times of my life much easier to handle. She was very compassionate, professional and walked me through the entire process. I highly recommend Cape Fear Family Law.

Two years ago our daughter decided that being a mommy was not #1 for her. She hàd the most amazing 2 year old little boy. There are not enough words to say how my husband and I feel about this little angel! After realizing that things were not... changing , I had to jump in and protect my grandbaby. Waneta Ellis was referred to me from. Social services. I made an appt with her, and to be honest I was scared of losing my Jackson, scared of the money side of it. Waneta has been the very best. It was so hard on my heart to take my own child to court. Waneta respected me and my daughter enough not to rip my daughter apart, but knew just what to say and when to stop and that I so appreciate !! Waneta and I have stayed in contact and Yesterday our adoption was final. Waneta cried right along with me! Waneta Ellis when covid is over, dinner is on us! Anywhere you want to go! God bless you, not only as my lawyer but as a friend! We love you guys !!! Thank you for helping us keep our Jackson safe! Thank you for bringing him home where he belonged ! Thank you for just being you!read more

Overall a good experience. The office staff was fantastic. I was given all the information and help that was “under contract”. My only complaint is I would have to contact the lawyer, or the office 2 to 3 times To get a call back from him. And... after they fulfilled the contract I had more questions. Matt gave me a call back and said he would be glad to help with any questions I had going forth even though they were not representing me, and he said he would send me an email with more information for me. I never got the email. The next week I had more questions due to changes in my case from the courthouse adapting to Covid 19 regulations. I reached out to Matt with more questions regarding the changes, as well as offered to pay the office for his services as far as answering my extra questions, but he never responded.So overall it was a good experience, however once they have “fulfilled” the original contract there is slim to no chance of getting help again with questions regarding the case even when offering to pay.read more

I am delighted to write this review regarding my experience with Cape Fear Family Law, specifically with Matthew Geiger. I was going through a Marital Separation last year and making a purchase of a Home on my own. My situation was a bit different... in that my Spouse And I were Not “unfriendly” or trying to be uncooperative with each other in any way. However, it still required legal stipulations as to the home purchase. Matthew handled every detail in a professional, and timely manner for me, and I actually had a smooth and successful outcome, with both the selling of my Marital Residence as well as the Purchase Of my new Home. I would gladly recommend Cape Fear Family Law To Anyone in need of an affordable and experienced Legal Representation in the time of Need! JDread more

I’ve tried several lawyers in the past and struggled to get consistent communication, but not at Cape Fear Family Law! Brittany Hall and her team went above and beyond for my family. She never left a question unanswered. Responded to emails at all... hours. Incredible service! Thank you so much for all you have done!read more

I have worked with Janet and Amy over the last couple years for an ongoing issue with my grandson. When the opportunity presented itself this past September, I had to reach out to them once again. Matthew was brought into the mix. I can honestly... say that all 3 have given me a sense of comfort in their timeliness of responding, whether during business hours or after. I loved the concept of a flat rate so that I didn't feel that every time I had a question, it would cost me another dime. These folks helped us gain a life for my grandson that he so deserves and I am forever grateful to each and every one of them.read more

I don’t usually leave Google reviews, but after such a wonderful experience, I now feel compelled. Legal issues can be intimidating and complicated, but Brittany took her time and helped me through this process with compassion and patience. My... emails were also responded to promptly, phone calls taken or returned same day, and all court filings handled professionally and without delay. I was made to feel comfortable throughout the whole process, and knew that I was in good hands. Thank you to Brittany and Amy for good communication, compassion, and thorough organization. I highly recommend Cape Fear Family Law.read more
