"Carolina Law Group is an outstanding group of people that handled a civil issue my wife and I had with a business. They were very professional with us and communicated with us very well with every step of the way. They are very welcoming and cared about our issues instead of trying to make a quick dollar. I highly recommend for anyone dealing with anything civil or criminal."

"I have tried to contact Shannon about me and my father's stocks that we have together. My father can not sign the paperwork to change the address or to sell or take my name off the stocks. I also can not go to the bank for the notary or maddarion signature because I live in a nursing home soon to be out on the streets because a copy of the number of shares have to be given to DSS. Plus she will not work me with the checks I get, she will not tell me if I get a portion of the checks or not."

"I recently received a speeding ticket in Jones County NC and Carolina Law group was great in mitigating the charges. They remained accessible during the entire process, were responsive to text and calls, and were honest about the expected outcome. Thank you Carolina Law group. I do not expect to catch another speeding tickets anytime soon but if I do, I will definitely contact Carolina Law group ."
