Hiring Pete was the best decision I have ever made! The circumstances of my case were out of the ordinary and something he had never encountered before. Before hiring him, I spent three years fighting an ugly custody battle and I had a couple of other attorney's prior to Pete. Within 6 months of hiri ng him, what I thought would be a never-ending battle was finally put to an end and completely in my favor! Pete was able to reverse mistakes that were made by my previous attorney; He actually responds to emails in a timely manner, which can be difficult for some attorney's to do; He is experienced and communicates effectively. I can't say enough good things about him and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to fight for me in my case. I'm very grateful to have found him!

Pete McArdle is absolutely the best choice for representing you in your family law case. Pete provided me excellent perspective and advice during my marital separation preparations. During a previous separation, I had retained a different attorney so I had experience with another attorney to contras t with my recent work with Pete. My experiences with Pete was vastly different from the previous attorney. Pete has incredible experience and his advice turned out to be exactly correct. And during our separation negotiations, Pete's representation was critical. He provided the perfect argument at the most decisive moments of the negotiation and provided sane resolutions to issues that seemed insurmountable.

Pete McArdle represented us with a child custody case. I can’t truly describe how impressed I was in that courtroom. My ex didn’t know what him. His face turned red and he looked like a fool. Attorney McArdle took everything he said and turned it back around on him to where he could hardly speak. The evidence they had against me was a joke after Attorney McArdle was finished with him. His opening statement to the opposing party was, “so have you ever heard the expression, bringing a knife to a gun fight?” Then it was on and he went after him with guns blaring. We had a judge that is typically what they call a 50/50 judge and that is what my ex wanted I believe due to child support reasons. Attorney McArdle beat all odds, in a different county, and my daughter is still with me the majority of the time. I am so grateful for what he did for us. I thought the word failure meant something stops or is not working. Then I became a paramedic and realized if someone is in kidney failure or heart failure that it has not stopped working completely. I looked up the definition of the word and it merely means, not meeting it’s full potential. Attorney McArdle is the opposite of what this means. I believe he was designed to be in a courtroom and is living up to his full potential. He sat there and listened and wrote notes when the opposing party was testifying, then when it was his turn to ask the questions I was amazed at how he turned and twisted every word they said to expose them for the lies they told and downplay the dirt they attempted to throw at me. It was like something out of a movie. I will always want Attorney McArdle with me if I ever have to be in a courtroom again. He is truly amazing at what he does. I was naive enough to believe that truth and justice matters in a courtroom but I have found from previous courtroom experiences this is not the case. It is “whoever has the best attorney wins.“

After being removed completely for over 4 years from my son's life, Pete and his team were highly Recommended by two local lawyers I had interviewed for my case. So accordingly, I read every review, Researched his background and found everything I wanted in a trial lawyer. A sound, well oiled machine of a man who is family oriented and focused on the truth. He worked with Private investigation teams, Local authorities and answered every email diligently searching for my son as if he was his own. Hiring Pete was the best decision I have ever made. My son now has a forever Home, Both of his families, and a very Bright Future ahead. "Thee best custody Lawyer in the state of NC that money can buy", who didn't beat around the bush, and argued only the Law. There is nothing pety about Pete, but after exposing the facts, even the defense attorney changed her questioning. The way he gets directly to the facts, and simply said Plays the "greatest Hits" track as he presents his cases. The way he got the truth out with well structured questions during multiple dispositions even caught praise from the residing judge. If your a father who cares about your kids the way I do mine, money is never an object, so do not shy at Pete's hourly rate. His team is worth every penny, I now wake up and Have breakfast with my son every day. And that is simply priceless. To Pete and Mary....I can't thank you enough for all you do everyday!
