About

Since graduating from the Wake Forest University School of Law in 2003, I have dedicated 100% of my professional life to the area of legal practice we call family law – separation, divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, and property division. I do not dabble in other areas of the law in the name of the almighty dollar and there is experimental detours in the name of law firm diversification. Just a principled and steadfast loyalty to obtaining the experience and developing the knowledge which allow me to provide you the very best advice, the most responsive service, the highest level of attention to detail, and the handling of your case in a professional and detail-oriented manner.I am often asked by my friends and prospective clients whether it really matters who you hire to handle your family law issue. The answer is “yes, it does matter, it matters a great deal.” Specifically, the quality of the legal education obtained by your family law attorney matters. It matters whether your family law attorney has dedicated his or her practice exclusively to family law issues. It matters whether your family law attorney has years of experience both in trial and mediation so as to be able to give you the correct advice as to the likely outcome of your case, the pros and cons of the different options, and any liabilities which may be associated with your options.It matters whether your family law attorney has participated in hundreds of mediations and trials. It matters whether your family attorney received the requisite mentorship during his or her early years of practicing family law. It matters whether your family law attorney is truly a seasoned trial and mediation attorney as advertised. It matters whether your family law attorney is responsive to your questions and concerns. It matters whether your family law attorney keeps you apprised of the status of your case and prepares you for all of the events and circumstances associated with your case. And it matters whether your family law attorney is able to take a collaborative approach to your case to give it the best chance at a reasonable resolution without having to go to court, while at the same time not being afraid to pivot and go to trial if such action is required.At Coggin Law, it is our belief that it matters who you hire as your family law attorney. So if you are dealing with a family law issue, and if you are seeking a seasoned trial or mediation attorney, we are here to offer you the expertise, advice and/or representation which you should expect and deserve. We welcome the opportunity to assist you during this difficult time.

Value My name is Matthew. And I met Mr. coggin two years ago when I was dealing with my issues with my ex. However, my situation was different. I wasn’t married but I was going through a very very traumatic break up where the mother was trying to prevent me from seeing my child. Long story short. I don’t know where to begin to start talking about this law firm, and Gerry as an individual. He cared about me not only as an attorney but put me above everyone. He cared about me as a person, he cared about my livelihood, he cared about what my outcome was going to be etc. If you want somebody who was going to get something done, who is going to be on your side, answer emails throughout the night on the weekends. He’s your guy!! if you’re worried about saving money he’s not your guy, you get what you pay for in this line of work. And I say that to say this I spent numerous amounts of dollars and I would do it again times 10 with him. He will not only be on your side, but he will guide you and be real with you and that’s what you want. If you want a cheap lawyer or somebody who plays by the books and just emails here and there that you can pay 200 an hour, he’s not your guy, if you want somebody who’s going to fight for you around the clock have your best interest and he’s worth every dime. I can go on and on about this law firm and him as an individual but I’m just gonna say this to say this. He is an awesome attorney he will fight for you and he will guide you every step of the way, and if you need anything please feel free to reach out to me on social media and I will talk to you personally about his firm and how he is as an individual. Thank you so much Coggin Law!!!!

Gerry did a great job in supporting me through separation agreement and divorce process. He was timely in responses, and he and his team were very professional every step of the way. Given circumstances of situation, cost was very reasonable, and Gerry was very accomodating to my opinion and desired approach. I would definitely recommend Gerry and team to others.

Gerry Coggin and his team at Coggin law are by far the best in the Charlotte region. They communicate well and have many years of experience. Gerry Coggin knows the law and drafts legal documents with precision. He is an aggressive lawyer who will put you in the driver's seat with your case and also make sure your case doesn't slip. He has helped me and two other mothers I know with our custody, divorce, and child support cases. He will follow through on your case and keep you on the offense. There is no better lawyer in the Charlotte region! I highly recommend his team at Coggin Law!

From the beginning, Gerry took the time to thoroughly understand me and my situation in detail, and he took the time to explain the process even before he was hired. Furthermore, Gerry demonstrated an understanding of the psychological aspects of this tough time in life, a skill that proved to be invaluable throughout my case. Gerry helped me navigate several difficult incidents. He went above and behind the legal aspect, helping me decide what actions to take while considering the long-term affect of co-parenting with my ex. Lastly, Gerry is very experienced, giving me the possible outcomes based on the given situation. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case!

I had a wonderful experience working with Gerry. He gave me outstanding guidance, and he would always take an approach that aligned with my goals. He was available and responsive no matter the day or time. He was extremely knowledgeable, and he paid close attention to detail. His extensive experience allowed him to read between the lines, and always stay a step ahead. I greatly appreciate all of his hard work, and that he went out of his way to make me feel at ease in such a stressful time.
