"We had a truly great experience with everyone we interacted with at the firm—John, Julia, Cara, Bella, Will, the reception team—every single person. They were all kind, professional, and easy to talk to. Their communication was clear, and their guidance gave us a lot of peace of mind during what can be a really tough time. I’m so grateful for their support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this team to anyone."

"Review for Bagwell Holt Smith P.A. – Attorney Lauren R. Nance & Paralegal Carmen Hightower We hired Bagwell Holt Smith P.A. to handle a real estate closing for a property we purchased in Durham, NC in June 2024. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing and has caused significant financial harm to our business. The firm made a critical error when registering the deed. As a result, the property title is not clear, and we are currently unable to sell the house. This has led to substantial losses, as we continue to carry the property without being able to recover our investment. We attempted to contact the firm multiple times for an explanation or a resolution. Our calls and messages were ignored. Eventually, attorney Lauren R. Nance returned our call, but she spoke so fast and angrily that it was very difficult to understand—especially for a non-native English speaker. This lack of professionalism and empathy made the situation even worse. We expected a law firm to handle our transaction with care, accuracy, and responsibility. Instead, we have been left with a costly problem and no support from the team responsible for it. I do not recommend this law firm based on our experience. If you are a real estate investor or business owner, please proceed with caution when choosing Bagwell Holt Smith, specially Lauren R. Nance-Attorney and Carmen Hightower-paralegal"

"This firm is truly a gem. I came to them for help with a high-conflict custody battle, and they delivered—big time. The result they helped me achieve was better than I could have hoped for, thanks to the incredible work of Julia Harris and the rest of the team. Julia fought for my children like they were her own—meticulous, passionate, and fierce when it counted. While custody litigation is naturally expensive, I can honestly say I received outstanding value. Friends of mine in similar situations paid far more and got far less. I got three times the representation for half the cost. If you’re looking for a firm with top-tier legal skill, honest guidance, and attorneys who truly care—you won’t find better than Bagwell Holt Smith P.A.. Thank you Julia, John, and the rest of this exceptional team."
