Cecil S. Harvell

Mr. Harvell was very professional and quick to respond to all of our needs. He has been available and willing to help with anything we have needed from a consolation to managing all the information and paperwork needed to cover all our bases. I would recommend Cecil to anyone in need of legal counsel.

I needed a lawyer in NC in his area and he helped me so very much! Everything others say is the truth! I had family in NC and he helped me get everything straight and in order for me and my siblings.

Four years ago, my husband and I moved to Morehead City, NC to help his parents "age in place". Our youngest had graduated and was heading to college, so we sold our home in Florida and relocated to SOBX to help them with their failing health and upkeep of their home. We quickly realized that their Wills were out of date and they did not have a trust set up to protect their assets after they died. Although they were reluctant to update their wills, they agreed to meet with Cecil Harvell, who patiently explained the benefits of updating their Wills and putting their assets in a Trust. Since then, both our parents have passed away, but their legal papers were in order and Cecil helped us complete the administration of their estate in a kind, compassionate and supportive manner. All our questions were answered either by him or his staff. We have now had Cecil set up our personal wills and will pass along his contact information to our family, knowing he will guide them through the process

Attorney Harvell is not just a first rate lawyer, but an exemplary person. He exhibits compassion, patience and professionalism at every stage. I wish all the professionals I have relationships with were of the same caliber. If you have estate related needs, you would be remiss not to consider this attorney.

I initially heard of this law firm through a local radio station where they discussed areas of estate law weekly. I thought they were knowledgeable and personable. I found out that was spot on! Mr. Harvell and his associates and staff are helpful, courteous and most communicative on all matters of concern! They explain and review all options and process paperwork promptly and efficiently.

Cecil Harvell is the best attorney I've ever encountered. He treated my elderly mother with dignity and respect. He listened and made certain that he understood all of her concerns, fears and desires for her future. He went to great lengths to protect her from anyone trying to control her and her assets. He is extremely knowledgeable, concerned for his client, easy to understand, comfortable to talk to, professional and very likeable. He's God's gift to the elderly! He's the very best there is!

I was the Executor of my late mom's diverse & complicated estate. There's NO WAY I could have got it done on my own without their help. They truly are experts, they treated me with respect, kindness, & made totally clear the process, costs, time frames, etc, from the start & kept me informed along the way. My uncle used them, my mother used them, and now my wife & I use them. I cannot say enough good things about them - to sum it up, I would use 3 words: Honest, Professional, & Friendly.

The circumstances confronting my family are complicated and tense. I can also tell that they involve multiple legal areas including taxes. I am more than satisfied with the Cecil and the lawyers at his law firm. I have all the confidence possible that my families concerns are being handled well. This is a very solid law firm.

As an out of state client, i had to find an attorney in Eastern North Carolina to help my parents. I am an only child and that did not help. I asked around to banks and even other attorneys and Cecil's name kept coming up. I must say this is a first rate law firm with some of the best service I have ever received anywhere. All of the lawyers are right there everyday to help you and they are full of knowledge and energy. Cecil is a fine person and heads up a great organization.

Mr. Harvell, the senior partner, and Mr. Collins of this law firm are helping me resolve the consequences of a serious injury. It has been a long and involved legal process, but the law firm is aggressive. I asked around and everyone seemed to recommend these lawyers and I now agree. I am very pleased. Mr. Harvell and Mr. Collins hold up to their excellent reputations.
