My first divorce attorney stopped practicing in the middle of an unnecessarily contentious divorce. I am so fortunate to have stumbled into hiring Melissa (you too Alva!). Melissa was always there for me and continues to be. I wanted her to stand up for the kids and me but not go beyond what was fair. Melissa has done that. She doesn't perpetuate the conflict for her personal profit like some attorneys and is not afraid to tell me her opinion even when she knows I disagree. Melissa has earned my respect and I value her abilities and advice. Most of all, Melissa had earned my trust.Thank you.

I am extremely pleased. Melissa has your back and best interest. You want her on your team! She is straightforward, very clear on what to expect, and no surprises. Melissa and team made everything press and play. Would highly recommend Averett Family Law.

Very knowledeable, very efficient, eye on the ball, good experience with Averett Family law.

Averett Family Law is a team of caring and efficient professionals. As a paralegal myself, I was truly impressed by the personal and skillful service I received throughout the painful process of divorce. I would recommend Melissa Averett to absolutely anyone. She is a tireless advocate for justice.

Averett Family Law was great to work with to complete our estate planning documents. They are personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend their services.

Excellent. Highly recommend.

Melissa Averett came through when I really needed her. She made time for me even though she had a busy schedule. Melissa is incredibly intelligent and doesn't miss anything. I would recommend her a hundred times over!

Outstanding law firm. Melissa puts her clients first. She is also a no non-sense attorney who sets reasonable expectations. The fees are the most reasonable of any attorney I interviewed. I have used Averett Family Law multiple times and do not hesitate to highly recommend them!

I recently had the unpleasant experience of going through a divorce in NC. Melissa and Alva have been professional, efficient and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They respond timely and accurately. On more than one occasion, they went above and beyond to facilitate the process. Melissa sought out ways to save me time and money and was always cost-conscious when billing me for her services. I always received accurate information/analysis and was never waiting on them. I knew I was in good hands and can't say enough about how pleased I am with the services I received from this firm.

Sarah Harrington was very professional and helpful.

I am a family law attorney in Greensboro with great respect for Melissa as a fellow attorney. Melissa is a fierce advocate for her clients and a leading voice in the community for victims of domestic violence. She is a valued colleague who willingly offers her knowledge to others. Her advice as a colleague is prized because of her expertise and common sense approach. She knows what she's doing. period.

Searching the internet, I found a family law attorney in Chatham County. Based on the information I provided, she recommended Attorney Averett. To that point, it was the best advice an attorney ever gave me. A recommendation to speak with Melissa made a world of difference for my children and I hope it can for yours too. Everyone suspects that his or her problems are worse and different from everyone elses. Having worked my way thru family courts in three different states, I can attest that everyone is right about that.Melissa understands that each family brings their own unique challenge to the table and that each person deserves fair and respectful treatment. As I am not a resident of North Carolina, all of our first communication was over the phone. Melissa took the time to hear and understand my perspective. Based on our initial conversations, we agreed to take each other on as partners. It was (and is) very important to me that Melissa took the time to understand my children, my own worse and different circumstance, and me. Melissa put me in touch with the right professionals in the Hillsborough and Chapel Hill area to develop a support team. That support team was critical to the case ending in my childrens best interest. Melissa and Alva have been with me every step of the way. The legal and professional advice they have given me has been tremendous. The general counsel they provided helped keep me calm and confidant not making any poor reactionary decisions. This allowed me to keep what was most important in front of me. Over time, those conversations were more important to my family than any of the excellent nuts and bolts legal advice and guidance they provided. Thank You, Melissa. I cannot recommend you strongly enough.

Knowledgeable, no nonsense lawyer. Hands down great
