Hired Attorney Thomas McNamara

This attorney comes equipped with fact and ready to win. We came from out of state for divorce and false domestic charges filed against us. He was clearly ready for the win with the law and documents. HIGHLY recommend. His paralegal is his right hand and just as fair and prepared always as Mr. McNamara!

Rachel is the very best. I always felt like she had my best interests at heart. Easy to talk to and very understanding.

I felt Ms. Sholar did an outstanding job representing me during my divorce. This was the most difficult time in my life, and she was always willing to answer any of my questions. Communication about the process was excellent. Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal representation.

Hired Law Firm

met Mrs. Sholar in 2012 when I began my divorce proceedings. There was alot I was unclear about and nervous about and she seemed completely confident. She even called to confirm when my divorce would be done. Than in 2014 I decided since my ex was no where to be found to go ahead and get full custody with visitation. She took care of everything along with Nina her paralegal to get this done quickly and the correct way. 2016 I knew by her educating me that I could terminate rights so we beg

Hired Attorney Ms. Sarah Lycans

Firstly, I have no issue with Mr. McNamara or Ms. Scholar as I had zero interaction with them. This review is based on my retention of Ms. Sarah Lycans to act as my attorney in a family law matter. Unfortunately, my experience with her was extremely unpleasant and I would caution anyone who expects anything more than the bare minimum from an attorney to seek help elsewhere. Ms. Lycan’s was extremely unprofessional, difficult to work with, and displayed a genuine lack of empathy during the time I retained her for my custody case. I had to repeat the issues to her numerous times and she would still forget things. I am writing this review in hopes that it can help others in making sure they hire the right attorney. I know there are not many viable options in Jacksonville, NC but Ms. Lycans should be near the bottom of your list. In fact, my Ex-wife was extremely unhappy with her attorney but overall I can tell you that Ms. Lynn M. Smith advocated for her client at all times.

 
Domestic Violence

Me. Sholar represented herself as a “go getter”. Ready to promote and advocate for the rights of people that have been violated. After receiving the fee she demanded, she forced me to sign a consent order that I did not want to sign. She threatened and bullied me when I was at my lowest. Ms. Sholar was more interested in promoting my husbands agenda than representing me, her client. When the day of court came, she refused to defend me. Do Not hire this woman!

Hired Attorney Ms. Sarah Lycans

Worst attorney ever. She represented my case know FULL WELL she was switching to my exes lawyers law firm. Save your money. She is heartless. She even put it in the contract that I could not be reimbursed. She didnt try in the divorce at all, I got financially destroyed. Then quit 3 weeks before my custody trial. I have a special needs daughter that my ex didnt know how to take care of. He got custody bc I had no lawyer. Nowadays she has been abused & has multiple suicide attempts & will more than likely be institutionalized bc I had a lawyer w no soul or conscious. Save your money bc she is definitely not worth it.
