Bagwell Holt Smith P.A.

"My experience with this firm has not been positive. I was the seller of my Moms home after she passed away. The attorneys and paralegals did not bother to walk me through the closing sheet even though there were significant expenses coming out of our pocket. They were unresponsive on trying to figure out wiring instructions leading up to closing. Finally they have been dismissive about my concerns on tax bills still coming to me instead of the new owner after the closing. Do not recommend."

"I highly recommend John and his team. They handled my custody and divorce case with the utmost compassion and I ended up with an extremely positive outcome. My military retirement was protected and untouched. My custody agreement is fair and while it is not perfect, I live in a different state. John was extremely prompt at answering any form of communication even when on his personal time. The firm genuinely care about the clients that they represent and I felt like they treated me as their own family."

"I can recommend this firm for both Landlord-Tenant issues and Real Estate Closings. Evan Harrell, an attorney at Bagwell Holt Smith P.A., represented me in a landlord- tenant damage claim. I, as the landlord, was confronted with significant damages, and an uphill battle to hold the tenants accountable. Evan quickly grasped the nuances of my predicament, and did a superior job negotiating, resulting in an advantageous settlement. He communicated clearly, explained issues well, and was responsive. I highly recommend Evan as an attorney. For Real Estate Closings, I've used this firm 3 times, and each time the transaction was handled incredibly well. The paperwork was all well prepared, and explained clearly. The financial transaction was easy."

"Phenomenal lawyer who goes beyond just your case and helps wherever he can. Extremely responsive, kind, and smart. I cannot recommend a better lawyer."

"Absolutely abhorrent law firm. Imagine being a domestically abused woman, referred from The Compass Center, a center for domestic violence victims and you pay this firm a $5000 retainer fee but all they do is take your money and do NOTHING for you except take your money. DO NOT trust these people. They do NOT advocate for you, in fact, they do NOTHING for you, whatsoever. Could you imagine paying a lawyer and they consistently misspell your name? Would give zero stars, if I could. I filed a grievance with the North Carolina State Bar. Just imagine going to get help and leaving, needing even more help. Pathetic "firm". My original lawyer, Emily Hurtt (who was wonderful and professional) left for maternity leave and I was left with an incompetent Sarah Barlowe to take over my case who was very snarky, unprofessional, unhelpful and even offered to go over details of my case "off the clock" but this never happened. You just cannot trust them to do anything for you or keep their word. Sarah Barlowe is also very apathetic towards domestically abused woman, does not care about children in your custody case and will do nothing to move your case forward or help you."
