As a Real Estate Firm owner and Real Estate Investor I have worked with the majority of Real Estate Attorneys in Wilmington. The Law Group is by far the best. Melissa Gott is the most professional, honest, hard working Attorney I have ever met. She has made my business better by caring for my clients and catching the smallest details time and time again. I wouldn't take my business anywhere else!

Not enough stars to rate just how amazing Bryan Smith and his staff are. I have used this firm repeatedly for my ongoing child custody case and I’m always well taken care of. Bryan is honest and will tell you straight forward if he feels you have a case or not and will NOT string you along just to take your money like so many others. He won’t tell you what you want to hear but instead the truth. He is a beast in court and will defend you better than any other attorney I have seen. He is so very knowledgeable with the law and uses it wisely. His staff is like no other, they really are what makes the practice successful. His paralegal, Rebecca, is phenomenal at her job and always communicates with clients when Bryan is unavailable. I don’t leave many reviews but I felt compelled to share because everyone deserves good representation and he s the best. Thank you Bryan and staff.

I don’t generally leave reviews but feel compelled to say that there is no one with Bryan Smith’s level of expertise in so many areas of law in the Wilmington area. Prior to moving to the Wilmington area he worked in the District Attorney’s office in another county here in NC... I worked for the Sheriff’s Dept. in the same county. I believe this is one of many reasons he is so skilled at positioning his clients very successfully no matter their particular need. He handled my litigation with such professionaism, integrity and objectivity that I have recommended him to family and friends in need of representation and they have been equally impressed. Thank you Bryan for all you do for our community!!
