I retained Epperson Law Group to help me with a nasty separation with my ex-wife. Amber Morris was my attorney and Joe Montfort was my paralegal and between the two of them I never had to worry about anything. They always stayed in touch with me and I never sat around wondering what would happen next. I wanted to keep custody of my children and have my retirement plan protected and that's just what they done! I can't brag on Amber and Joe enough. Those two are too notch. They handled every concern I had with great care and compassion and always had my best interest in their hands! So glad I went to Epperson Law Group and will definitely use them again if need should arise in the future. I will also definitely recommend Epperson Law Group to any friend or family in need of the best legal counsel in NC! Thank you guys for taking such great care of my needs!

This is the only attorney I would ever trust to handle my case. He was responsive to my questions and has maintained a focus on what mattered to me. Trust in the plan that James and his team puts forth. You will not be disappointed

If you're looking for an incredibly responsive attorney who will always act in your best interest, who will make you feel confident and secure in the most difficult situations... Choose James Epperson. With James as my attorney, I got through a very challenging divorce with a fair settlement. I would never have gotten there if it wasn't for him. 5 stars really isn't enough to rate how satisfied I am with his services.

from the beginning to the end, my experience with this practice was simplely phenomenal. Everyone during every contact made me feel they were truly dedicated to my "best interest" which is what any client needs when dealing with legal issues. Everyone was kind and personable, but at the same time EXTREMELY professional. I really appreciated the constant updates on my case. These updates were most important to me because I was never left wondering what was happening with my case. Just wanted to say thank you to every one of you and you are appreciated. Excellent lawyer. James spoke to me in "my language" and explained everything in terms that I could understand...I didn't have to be a lawyer to understand my lawyer (LOL).

Attorney Epperson is great in court and reliable to get information to me. He was prompt with calls, email and text messages. I do not know what I would do without him.

Mr. Epperson is a wonderful attorney! He is reasonable and very knowledgeable in his practices. He is a shark in the courtroom and has a big heart out of it. After 5 long years he was able to get my custody case completely turned around. 5 years ago I was an addict and lost custody of my babies. He took all the work I did and all the abuse I took from my ex over 5 years and turned it into a strong case! Such a strong case that the judge gave me physical custody and put my ex in my previous spot. He fought for me! He is still fighting for me! He gave me hope, he gave my life meaning, he gave me my kids back! He also did it in a manner I can afford! Mr. Epperson went up against one of the nastiest fighting lawyers in my area and made her look weak. If I had to do it all over I would hire him again and again.

I worked with this firm (James and Amber) for over 1 year. My experience was horrible. Here are some of the reasons for my negative review: they overbilled me multiple times, they charged my credit card without my approval once, they repeatedly told me that my ex would pay for all of my attorney fees when I win my case and that was NOT what happened, they dropped me as soon as I told them I needed more time to pay them in full, they advised me on issues which ended up being very detrimental to my life and my case. I trusted them and they failed me in the end. I would not recommend using this law firm. James and Amber were my main contacts there. Feel free to contact me for more info.

If I could give one star I would, the team here seems to be worried more about money rather than the client. Sloppy editing on legal documents, late response time on critical cases to opposing counsel and delayed response James and team.

I had hired James Epperson for a family law matter and it turned out to be a huge mistake. James Epperson never filed orders with the clerk or provided opposing counsel with requested documents. He's big trick is to reschedule the trial date, on the day before the scheduled court date. Please do yourself a favor and pass on this inept attorney.
