"I am writing this review to express my gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Fanney Law Office. They truly understand the intricacies of the law and navigate complex cases with expertise. My DWI case took seven long years, but thanks to their diligent efforts, it was ultimately dismissed. Throughout the process, I learned the importance of patience, as good things take time, especially in challenging situations like mine. When we went to trial, I felt confident knowing that I had the best representation possible. If you find yourself in a difficult legal situation, I highly recommend Fanney Law Office – they are worth the wait!"

"John Fanney was recommended to me 20+ years ago by a close friend of mine whose wife was an Asst. Clerk of the Court in a different county. She said he was the best at his craft. I could not agree more. This comes from someone in the court system. Navigating through todays court system, especially in Wake County, is a nightmare. It takes a professional with years of experience to do that. There is no quick fix or one solution to any problem that you created for yourself. John Fanney takes the time to listen and charts the best course of action. I have always felt my family was getting the best representation possible. He is a giant among many who are in that profession. He is honest about your facts and possible outcomes. He works hard for you to make it happen. I have recommended him many times, and everyone has the same to say about him. He has many associates in other counties, and I have gone to him for many legal questions both in and out of Wake County. I have family and friends all around NC. He has always steered me to the right and good people for the job. I am proud to call him my families attorney of choice. If you want someone to represent you to the best of their ability and give you the best outcome for your case. John Fanney and his office will do that for you. They are worth every penny."
