COVID-19 Announcement: Learn More

During this difficult time of social distancing due to the COVID-19 virus, our office will continue to operate on regular hours pending further notice in an attempt to continue to provide you with the highest possible legal representation. In order to protect the health of our clients, the public, and our staff members and their families, we ask you to contact us by phone or through your client portal if possible instead of visiting our office in person. It is our plan that client appointments will be handled by telephone or Skype for the time being.

The courts are operating on a limited basis. Please keep in contact with our office and/or the Harnett County Clerk of Court’s office about court schedules. It is our intent to continue to post updates to our Facebook page. You can also check nccourts.gov for updates on how the Courts are responding to COVID-19 as well.

We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops and bring you updates as soon as we are apprised of them. We hope everybody stays safe and healthy. Please continue to follow these recommendations:

1. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
2. Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth.
3. Stay away from sick people.
4. Clean and disinfect surfaces – especially ones that are touched frequently – using regular household cleaning spray or wipes.
5. Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
6. Stay home if you’re sick and keep sick children home or have been exposed to sick people.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Client Reviews

My life has been definitely for the better thanks to the efforts of her law firm. I still refer to Mrs. Edwards and April when I have questions regarding legalities.

Charlene and her entire team are professional, courteous and very good at what they do! Charlene represented me (a male) and I received custody of my children and my home.

 I made several phone calls to her office with questions and concerns, and was always able to reach someone that provided answers to my questions promptly and addressed my concerns.
