Andria is really good at what she does. She is new to the field, but she handled my case very well and I was satisfied with the good work.

Ava · family law · May 2026

Laura Burt advised me during a very difficult time in my life. I was going through a divorce and her help and expertise was amazing. I have recommended her to many friends and colleagues. She and her staff are wonderful.

David · family law · May 2026

I was referred to Ms. Burt to assist me in a child custody hearing. Ms. Burt listened to my issues and asked questions to get a good feel for the case. I felt Ms. Burt took a genuine interest in my case and did a wonderful job getting the relevant points across to the mediator. The results exceeded my expectations. She and her staff are very knowledgeable and I would recommend her again without hesitation.

I was recommended to Laura Burt by a dear neighbor friend of mine. She really was informative and very helpful through out the whole separation and divorce. She is very compassionate and really concerned to help her clients at the best of her ability. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a g reat lawyer throughout their divorce process! I cannot express enough in words of how much she really educated me and helped me throughout the whole process! So if you need a lawyer who will stand behind you , Laura Burt is the lawyer I would recommend from every aspect of seperation and divorce! I highly recommend her to anyone!

Laura helped me navigate through a very emotional separation and had mine and my children's best interest always in the forefront. She helped me negotiate a peaceful and extremely cost-effective solution and I am grateful!

John · May 2026

Laura Burt provided me with great advice and service! She covered all the details and provided concise, clear communication throughout the entire process. She and her staff are wonderful. I highly recommend her!

Mr David has been my attorney since my separation back in 2017. He has been so kind, understanding, professional and extremely caring throughout all these years. He has helped me obtain my kids passports and so many other things. I have recommended him to so many people. He is truly a great attorney and is always looking out for the best interest of my kids as they grow older and circumstances change. He is still my attorney to this date !

Chater. K · family law · May 2026

Mr MCCLEARY represented me for my divorce back in 2018. We stayed in touch and have gone to him on and off to take care of some issues I had along the way with my custody and child support matters. I have so much respect for him. He managed to get my kids their passports despite so many hurdles and I ’m so grateful for him. I will always speak so highly of him as an attorney and a person.

Katie chater · family law · May 2026

David has my attorney since my separation in 2017. He is still representing my kids to this day. I refuse to work with any other attorney. He is truly a great human and attorney! I can’t say enough good things about David. He is kind, understanding and extremely details oriented.

Marianne · family law · May 2026

David has a way of putting you at ease in easily the most stressful of situations. He offers balanced guidance without emotion so you always move forward in the process. David truly understands the value of his clients and keeps you informed every step of the way! I couldn't have gotten this divorce done without his constant support!!

Anna · family law · May 2026

I've worked with David for close to two years. I hired him based on a recommendation from a retired judge. He represented me through mediation and settlement and was thorough, organized and punctual. He is very smart and knowledgeable. The mediator we used is highly recommended as well and I felt he respected David and his approach. I had hoped to not utilize his services in the future but I unfortunately had to go to trial for a child support issue. However, it was the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. I believe it was because of his expertise, preparation and the way he handled my case in court. In my opinion, court was where he really "shined" and was in his element. I definitely think it is smart to hire an attorney in advance who can handle out of court and can also go to trial. He was incredibly patient and kind in helping me to be prepared and to know what to expect. Highly recommend!

Jeff · family law · May 2026

Divorce is never easy and for most it’s uncharted territory. I expected chaos and court dates, but my experience working with Irene King showed me there was a better way, a less stressful way, and a more fair and amicable way to untangle and dissolve the marriage contract. With Irene’s guidance and e xpertise, we successfully collaborated with my ex’s attorney and came to a speedy agreement that worked out for everyone. Irene was the voice of reason when emotions would run high, and helped both parties see the pragmatic, fair alternatives that should be considered and pursued. I appreciate Irene King and her caring, compassionate and knowledgeable approach to what can be a complicated process, and her ability to help everyone focus on the dissolution and not the emotion.

Larissa · May 2026

Irene came highly recommended to me, and it is easy to see why. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and thoughtful in her approach. I appreciated her holistic perspective with insights and recommendations that took into consideration the emotional and psychological dynamics in addition to the legal fac tors. She provided wise counsel, and I am grateful to have had her on my team during a difficult time. I wouldn’t hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone.

anonymous · family law · May 2026

I'm so thankful for the excellent recommendation to use Irene to prepare my prenuptial agreement. I was pressed for time, and Irene immediately set up an appointment to explain NC Law to me and let me know what my options were. Once decided, she started working on my agreement immediately, always tak ing time to walk me through anything I did not understand. The process was extremely efficient due to Irene's knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend King Collaborate Family Law!

Dawn · family law · May 2026

Irene was recommended to me by a good friend when I knew divorce was inevitable. She was knowledgeable and professional at all times. She listened to my wants and desires for me and my child. She was honest with me even if the information was difficult to hear. She would answer and re-answer any ques tions I had throughout the process. I completely trusted Irene to handle all the legalities of the divorce so I could focus on healing. She made an awful life event not so awful and everything was very smooth. So thankful for her.

Ryan · family law · May 2026

Choosing Irene to help me through my divorce was the best decision I could have made. She was able to help guide me through a difficult process, making it as simple as possible. When it came to negotiating a settlement, she helped by producing innovative ideas to solve complex problems. She hel ped me understand what details were important to me and I should push for, and just as importantly when I was being unreasonable and should compromise. In the end we ended with a fair settlement, and the best possible plan for my daughter. Divorce is difficult, but anyone in that situation would benefit from reaching out to Irene.

anonymous · family law · May 2026

Going through a divorce is not fun for anyone and hiring Tonya absolutely helped me through this chapter. Having an attorney who genuinely cared about me and my daughter made all the difference. Tonya is knowledgeable in all areas of family law. At times when I didn't think the laws were fair, h er expertise navigated me through. She provided encouragement when I needed it and kept things real. No one wins in these situations, but I believe everything turned out as good as it could. If any other family law situations arise where I need legal representation, I will hire Tonya again and definitely recommend her services.

anonymous · family law · May 2026

When I met with Ms. Graser, she was unbelievably condescending and patronizing. I felt like I subjected myself to be looked down on by her rather than receive actual, helpful advice. She needs to find another career where empathy and compassion is not required or where a cold, robotic demeanor is app reciated. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a family law attorney who actually cares - Ms. Graser isn’t it.

Kara · family law · May 2026

I initially hired a different attorney that I was referred to. Roughly 2.5 weeks in I knew I needed to make a change quickly. I'm so happy I made that change as quickly as I did to retain Tonya. My consult with her was 90 minutes which I loved because it gave me time to go over everything with her an d for her to come up with a plan of action right on the spot. At the end of a long and tumultuous separation and divorce, I am pleased with the outcome Tonya was able to obtain for me and my kids. I don't say any of this lightly and truly believe the universe was looking out for me. Tonya is extremely skilled in many areas of the law. She's strategic, kind, ethical, and honest. The amount of attention and detail she put into my case while working on so many other cases impressed me. Some other things that stand out to me is her work ethic and genuine care for my kids and I. I went through two mediations with her and she's top notch at negotiations and and has strong argument skills. Seriously the best! Tonya went above and beyond to help me with mindset and see things a different way which helped me become a better person through this very difficult time in my life. I never felt judged by her when crying as much as I did when having to speak to her about some of the awful things that happened to me in my marriage. Tonya always explained the law to me while still hearing what my goals were and tried her best to help me reach each them. While working on each step of the process, she put a tremendous amount of detail into her instructions to set me up for success. One example of her work ethic is when working on Discovery for me, there was a mishap with one of her emails making it's way to my spam folder instead of my inbox. This caused her to not hear back from me for the last and final step, yet she still made it a point to get it filed in time. She really left no stone unturned through each step. I appreciate that Tonya didn't just tell me what she thought I wanted to hear, she was straight forward with me about the laws and specifically in my county (Union County, NC). She had many ideas to help my case...some I was on board with and others I wasn't always crazy about, but one thing is for sure, she was always accurate and I saw results in my favor many times. I quickly realized that I can trust her and she is HIGHLY SKILLED at her craft. Her follow up and follow through is impeccable! She's not just any attorney, she also shows her human side which is the perfect mix I needed. I could not have made it through this divorce without her and very highly recommend scheduling a consult with her if you're looking for a family law attorney in Mecklenburg or Union County, NC. I could probably write a novel about my experience with Tonya, but these are just some highlights. :-) Some words of advice to keep in mind is that attorneys are not perfect (because they are human), the laws aren't always fair and nobody truly "wins" in divorce. Tonya definitely stands out as one of the best of the best!

Peter · family law · May 2026

My wife and hired Mrs. Tonya Graser Smith for a sensitive family custody matter. Tonya made us very comfortable and her knowledge of the legal system made the process must easier than we had expected. She took the time to make us feel like we were her most important client while we were with her. She purposefully did everything that she could to save us money on the services she performed on our behalf. In this day and age of lawyers with bad reputations, Tonya was a pleasure to do business with and I highly recommend her practice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate professional.

anonymous · family law · May 2026

In a bad time and when it was hard to focus Tonya kept on tract with all the facts and helped me Get full custody of my two sons.

Jason · May 2026

I've used Kate on a couple of occasions and have always been impressed and pleased with her attention to detail and responsiveness. She can take very complex laws/legal matters and explain them, and our options, in layman's terms. Kate and her entire staff are dedicated to client service.

anonymous · family law · May 2026

A year ago I was able to see Kate in a timely manner to begin proceeding with a divorce. She, and her team, were not only professional and helpful; but compassionate as well during a very difficult and emotionally draining time! They always answer every question (no matter how small) and clarity eve ry matter I don't understand. She was diligent to make sure I understood each step of the process and was always well prepared. I would highly recommend Katherine Rech and her entire team!

anonymous · family law · May 2026

Rech Law created an environment that was comfortable. Although my divorce was very difficult, they provided exceptional services. Thank you.

Joyce · litigation · May 2026

She and her firm were a pleasure to work with. She even contacted me after hours because we kept missing each other during the day. It was also easy to do everything we needed to do through email after our initial contact. After my court date/time I knew the outcome within 30 minutes and what I ow ed and didn't have to show up or anything. I would definitely us her services again should the need arise an would recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney.

Matthew · May 2026

Kate Rech took my 'complex' case and amazed me with her timely response and genuine sensitivity! Thank you Kate. I would and will recommend her to all my friends and family.

Darren · family law · May 2026

Do not pursue any family law actions without Sean's representation. Sean represented me on a custody modification, and lived up to his reputation to fight for you and produce the results that you are looking for. I had full conidence throughout my custody modification, communication was outstanding and prompt. I strongly advise having Sean represent you in any legal needs you may have.

Sandra and Tina · family law · May 2026

Adoption is suppose to be a a wonderful thing. Ours started out that way and 7 days later our world collapsed when the bio mother changed her mind. Sean handled all this for us. Fourteen months later this same little boy was placed back into our lives by DSS!! It took a year and a half for us to re ceive the FINAL papers. None of this would have been possible without Sean and his wonderful staff. Sean guided us in the proper direction at all the obstacles we faced. Our case is one that I am sure he will never forget. He is the best attorney we have ever had and has become part of our family! From the bottom of our hearts we thank all the wonderful staff and Sean.

anonymous · May 2026

Sean handled my case with professionalism and diligence. He went above my expectations as did his paralegal and the rest of the office that I dealt with. They made me feel relaxed and welcome when ever I was in the office. Sean is very easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable with the laws.

DeLaynee · family law · May 2026

A must read, honest review!!!! I found myself in a custody battle that was mishandled by a previous attorney at a different law firm. I consulted and hired Sean, almost immediately to take over the case. If you are looking for an attorney that is going to guide you in the right direction even i f at times you do not like his answers. TRUST HIM!!!! I to no fault of my own lost custody to my ex claiming I moved out of the state unilaterally (literally no fault of my own) temporarily through a Ex-Parte. This has been the longest year of my life but I can finally say the outcome was totally worth it. I can't thank Sean ENOUGH for representing me in the way he did. Kim, his paralegal, was also very helpful and always answered my questions. I know he wouldn't be who he is without her! Thank you again, Sean and Kim!!! If I could leave a MILLION STARS I WOULD!!!!

Maynard · family law · May 2026

Initially called this firm for an attorney in a case where my ex was attempting to strongarm custody by filing false claims and DVPO. Sean stepped in and took control of my case, his aggressive approach and patience to understand and instruct me on the process, was hands down the best that I could ha ve ever asked for. The whole thing was thrown out, and my ex was left walking out with her tail between her legs. Best decision I could have made. I absolutely recommend anyone even considering making the call, to just do it and come on in to meet Sean.
