People enter mediation trusting they will be treated with dignity, fairness, and impartiality. I left my mediation with Meredith Jeffries feeling deeply disrespected. As the day unfolded, that feeling only grew. I came to the mediation understanding that both sides would be heard and treated fairly. I arrived carrying the emotional weight that accompanies years of stress, uncertainty, and conflict. Very early in the mediation, Meredith Jeffries asked what I was seeking. As I answered, she chuckled and smiled. I was not making a joke. I was answering a serious question about a dispute that had taken an enormous toll on my life, especially financially. There was nothing humorous about what I was sharing. From that moment on, I began to doubt that I would be treated with the dignity and respect every participant deserves. As the mediation continued, my first impression never changed. I increasingly felt that my perspective was not receiving the same level of consideration as the opposing side's, and my concerns seemed to carry less and less weight. I felt dismissed. There were additional interactions throughout the day that I found unnecessarily confrontational and inconsistent with the judgment, professionalism, and demeanor I expected from someone serving as a mediator. I became increasingly guarded because I no longer believed my concerns were being genuinely considered. I felt devalued. As the mediation progressed, I also came away with the unsettling impression that preconceived assumptions had been made about me before I had been given a fair opportunity to be heard. Whether intentional or not, I was left wondering whether those assumptions influenced the way I was perceived. Rather than being understood, I felt judged. By the conclusion of the mediation, I walked away feeling that very little had been accomplished. From my perspective, the time, emotional energy, and financial resources invested had amounted to nothing. The fact that we did not reach a resolution is not what disappointed me. It was the way I was treated throughout the day. I left the mediation feeling dehumanized. That is the part of the experience I have never forgotten. I sincerely hope no one else experiences a mediation the way I did.

I worked with Amy Hunt. She was one of those rare lawyers, who actually care about their clients. She went out of her way to support me through a very difficult and complicated easement issue. I would highly recommend her for anyone dealing with real estate issues.

Have not done a lot of business with this firm, but in dealing with a corrected deed issue for a recent closing, I found this firm's clerk Andrew to be extremely helpful and professional. Client service is lacking in Charlotte legal offices but this guy was the exception.

I had Alexander French, has my attorney, he hardly ever answered my phone calls, he believes all the lies my ex told him, I paid out all that money, to him just to get my divorce, and I wanted to change my last name, he said I never told him that, if I only wanted a divorce, I could of done that, a lot cheaper, because after my divorce, he discharged himself off my case, and left me to do the equitable distribution of mine and my ex all by myself, because of it, I couldn't afford another attorney, so I lost everything because of him, and with child support, he believed my ex that we had half and half custody, which was not true, so I only got a little bit of payment for that, so I would not ever suggest using this attorney office.
