Customer Reviews

This attorney group has been absolutely first class to work with. Their professionalism, explaining information in layman terms, and commanding knowledge of the eminent domain process is amazing. The best part is we won our case in Court against the NCDOT and were awarded a 600% increase from the DOT original offer! If you are searching for a group who again commands a wealth of knowledge in their field and knows the avenue to pursue a fair settlement you have found them. Josh from day one to told us what amount of money to expect and how the process was going to work. Everything he told us was true and our association can’t say enough good things.

Wonderful Attorney Jessica Wilkie! Always so helpful, friendly and easy to talk to!

We were overwhelmed and could not have gone through the condemnation process without Josh going to battle for us. Any time we called the office, we received excellent customer service and best of all, we got a very large, unexpected increase from the original offer that we would not have gotten doing this by ourselves.
