Kayleigh and the whole team were wonderful to work with. They truly had my best interest at heart throughout the difficult divorce process. They were always prompt, efficient, effective, and responsive.
It’s difficult to begin to say how amazing Granger Benson and Cape Fear Family Law has been for me in the past 2 years. Granger has been a source of knowledge walking me through a very difficult part of my life. He has helped not just as an attorney but walked me through how to handle my life during divorce.Granger was able to organize all my finances ensuring that I receive my share of what was due me. He and others at Care Fear Family Law worked hard to show how the finances were acquired and why they should be divided with my best interests.Thank you, Granger and Cape Fear Family law, you have been a blessing.
Awesome experience with Kayleigh Davenport at Cape Fear Family Law. She was so kind and considerate and always kept me informed. I was very emotional because I was involved in a custody battle. Kayleigh reassured me constantly and was very encouraging. She was so professional, in and our of the courtroom. I'm so thankful God lead me to her. I felt a kindred spirit with her from the beginning. Her faith was very evident . Not only am I super pleased with her as an attorney, but feel I've gained a very special, life long friend. Kudos to Kayleigh Davenport for being THE BEST!!!!!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Waneta and her team. I knew Waneta was the right choice after our phone consultation. She was very knowledgeable, kind, understanding and gained my trust right away. She was the first attorney that made me feel confident and hopeful in a time of stress and doubt. Her and her team were so helpful in answering all my concerns and questions along the way as they guided me through a difficult time. I cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work and time. Will be forever grateful and always recommend their firm.
Good afternoon I would like to extend my appreciation to Melenni and everyone that worked on my case. it was really nice to work with a firm of such professionals during such a difficult time for me. Everyone on the team had compassion and excellent communication skills when it came to responding to questions or taking the time to explain and help me understand what was going on through the process. I would definitely recommend your firm to anyone and feel comfortable, knowing that they would be in good hands. thanks again!Sincerely, Shawn Temple

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!
Kayleigh and the whole team were wonderful to work with. They were prompt, efficient and responsive. They truely cared for me as a client.
I cannot thank this firm enough! I hired Attorney Kayleigh L. Davenport she was nothing less than exceptional from beginning to end.
I really appreciate this law office on their efficiency and when they did communicate to me everything was explained thoroughly. Super friendly staff, and always very responsive when I called.
I cannot thank this firm enough! I hired Attorney Roy Jacobs for my custody case. With not the best past legal experience prior, he was nothing less of EXCEPTIONAL! He was personable, always kept me up to date with my case, reassured me when my emotions were getting the best of me, and gave me realistic expectations. He prepared me for what was to come; and advocated for my children's best interests every step of the way. What could have been a long and expensive process became relatively quick. He made a very hard and emotional experience much more manageable. Prayerfully I never find myself needing a family law attorney again, but if I do I will not hesitate to retain him again. If you are in need of a family law attorney, I cannot recommend Roy enough. I am forever grateful for what Roy and Cape Fear Family Law have done for me and my children.

Quisira saber si Hablan español en las oficinas??
Marcus and his team were amazing. Would recommend them for anyone that needs a great law firm
I would like to thank everyone at Cape Fear Family law.Especially Marcus Tingling he was a caring person.He was there when I needed help getting custody of my grandchildren. I could call anytime if I needed help with stuff I didn’t understand. I would call their law firm again!
Allie Moore was very easy to work with and her response time was great. A lot of emotions involved in my case and speaking with her calmed me down, she also had great advice. If I ever am in need of legal help, I will specifically request Allie.
Marcus was so easy to work with and was on top of everything for me. He and his team communicated with me throughout the entire process and has been Ben checked in since the case ended. I highly recommend Mr. Tingling and his team.

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.
