Wake Family Law Group

As an Alamance county resident, I had a hard time finding a family attorney in the Wake area that I was comfortable with. After doing some thorough research I came across Jake Terrell, and pick him because of his great reviews, dedication and knowledgeable background. Jake has represented me in 2 cases within the year and has been able to get me the results I wanted BOTH times. The second case was extremely rare and when I spoke to Jake about it he was super eager to handle it. I could tell he put in the work the day of court because he handle it with flying colors! He made everything stress free and was extremely helpful.. not to mention everything was a short notice, yet Jake had no problem showing up! Jake’s communication skills and work ethic never goes unnoticed with me, therefore I HIGHLY recommend him for any family law cases. Thank you Jake for everything you’ve done for me and my son!

I did not have a positive experience with Ms. Kelley Cash during my prenup consultation. Ms. Cash was indifferent - she did not offer any acknowledgement of my upcoming marriage and instead criticized the late timing before the wedding. I was eager to get the agreement finalized and tried to move forward with her services anyways. I never received any follow-up communications. It was a waste of my time and money. I am glad I found another attorney that offered superior services and legal expertise.

*thanks for replying to my review! If that was truly the case, then I’d add “very much” to thank you.. thanks again Melanie for giving my spouse the complete upper hand! Not. I had an awful experience using this firm, if you’re the “more propertied” spouse I’d fully BEWARE and would seek counsel elsewhere. Lied about my odds/outcomes to retain business I’m assuming, giving me clearly misrepresented information in hindsight.. Melanie Phillips Lucky did me a huge disservice, using language like “could that happen? Maybe, but I’d argue.. “ and “entitled? Maybe but the definition is..” (fully knowing but alluding to otherwise even though never informing me it was really an absolute, not in my favor). She also thoroughly sucks at negotiation strategies.. knowing better, she convinced me to go opposite of favorable direction at mediation-and caused my mediation date to be a complete fail! My spouses counsel called a reset and it was a huge waste of time and funds in preparation. She clearly faults to understand her audience and the players across the table and I wish I had the wherewithal to pushback on her advice given my understanding and gut feeling at the time. She also (proactively) told me my spouse “probably wouldn’t be entitled to it anyways..” in regard to alimony/spousal support, when I later came to find out it was concrete or no questions asked I had to pay. Meanwhile my former spouse is getting factually accurate legal advice and unknowingly to me, has the leg up, full advantage my entire case.

I reached out to Wake Family Law Group (WFLG) with an urgent matter and they jumped right in to guide me through the process and legally defend my interests. I worked with several at the firm and found each person to be professional, knowledgeable, and personable, which made a difficult situation a lot easier to handle. Thank you for your valuable service and for a positive outcome, which I could not have achieved without your counsel.

A few months ago, I retained Wake Family Law Group at the recommendation of a friend, and I couldn’t be happier with the legal team that helped me finally bring to a close troubling legal matters (divorce issues) that had lingered unresolved for several years. Norieh Brittain did a great job advising me of options, recommending what to do and when to do it, and finally reaching a very satisfactory outcome that I had been unable to achieve on my own. I highly recommend lawyer Norieh Brittain, paralegal Kaylyn Shaw, and Wake Family Law Group if or when you need help!
