I highly recommend Cape Fear Family Law for domestic matters. They were very helpful and supportive through everything and made the whole process very simple, and I had minimal involvement while they handled my case for me, which i greatly appreciated.

Great experience working with Allie! Additional staff was helpful too.

Janet is wonderful. Brilliant and responds quickly.

So apparently Cape Fear Law Firm has a good reputation. We must have been given the worst attorney in the bunch. Our experience with Melenni Balbach was horrible. This law firm robbed us for $16k. We retained her in Sept. 2024 and my bf was given visitation with his daughter in Dec. 2024 which was great and then from then on it was downhill. The mother wouldn’t cooperate and Melenni wrote a motion for contempt. It is now August 2025 and he still hasn’t seen his daughter. She didn’t fight for him. She def didn’t have her client’s back! She wanted to continue to write motions that = money! Motions for what? The most important one is contempt and she should have fought for an emergency mtg w the judge. She and her team also wrote 4 letters to opposing counsel and NOTHING was followed up or done with those 4 letters that cost money. I would NOT recommend this firm. We have since asked for funds returned for work not rendered. They are giving the sob story. We have since secured another legal counsel. Had to click one star in order to post! I give them a negative star! There is so much more to this story. I’m just warning you go elsewhere.

I worked with Matthew Geiger on a custody matter and honestly can’t recommend him enough. Matt really knows his stuff, stayed on top of everything, and made sure I always felt informed and supported throughout the process. What really stood out was his great sense of humor - it made a stressful situation feel a little more manageable. On top of being incredibly knowledgeable and professional, he was also prompt, responsive, and easy to talk to. If you're navigating something as important as custody, having someone like Matt in your corner makes a big difference. I’m grateful for his help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a reliable family attorney.

Marcus was responsive, courteous and professional

Kayleigh and her team were so helpful and fast to respond when I needed them! So glad I picked them for my separation/divorce!

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

Each person I spoke with genuinely listened to me and my goals. Answered questions readily. These folks are top notch and I wouldn’t hesitate to contact them in the future.

Allie Moore worked diligently, and I was very pleased with her services. Thank you Allie Moore & Cape Fear Family Law!!

10/10 recommend Wes. Caring and compassionate but also cut throat. Would recommend to anyone and would use again if the situation arose.

Would highly recommend . Ashley and team were awesome !

Posting my review for my Cape Fear Family Law Attorney, Mr. Granger Benson. I cannot thank Mr. Benson enough for everything he did for me during my child custody case. From the very beginning, he was compassionate, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about family law. He guided me through every step of the process with patience and clarity, always making sure I understood my options and felt supported. This has been a long battle since November 2023 but all worth it in the end. In the courtroom, he was truly remarkable. His intelligence, quick thinking, and calm presence under pressure were unmatched. No matter how tense or difficult the situation became, he handled it with absolute professionalism and confidence. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my case and was fully invested in helping me succeed. Because of his dedication and expertise, I was able to win custody of my children—a result that means the world to me and my family. Beyond being a phenomenal attorney, he is also a great person who treats his clients with respect and dignity. I would highly recommend Mr. Benson to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He is not only skilled and intelligent, but also someone you can truly trust to stand by you when it matters most. He made sure to keep me informed and was honest and true the whole way.

Roy Jacobs did a fantastic job handling my divorce. He was professional and timely in all his dealings and really fought on my behalf....so thankful he was recommended to me. 10/10 would recommend using him if you have legal needs.

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.
