Wade R Carpenter Attorney

I was very pleased with my experience dealing with Wade Carpenter in Gastonia. Wade is extremely knowledgable and very easy to work with. He gave me some solid legal advice and was helpful with my situation. Very professional. I highly recommend his services.

Be very careful with this guy. I have a pending complaint with the NC Bar for a fee dispute. Nice enough guy and comes across as genuine but bottom line is he took advantage of my situation. My awesome attorney retired and I was forced to change attorney’s quickly. My case was dismissed before it went to trial so there was a few meetings and phone calls but they certainly did not total $ 3000. And my initial $ 150 consultation turned into $ 500 on the spot because he drafted a 2 paragraph letter (that I rewrote) within our 1 hour meeting.

Sadly, a case that should have been dealt with quickly and efficiently has been ongoing since March of 2011. There have been MANY errors throughout. There have been too many times of «dropping the ball.» Until writing an email that stated contacting the Bar Association, there was no word on various issues. Returning of phone calls or emails was near impossible for the majority of the time. When going to court, the opposing attorney did not show before the judge, Wade Carpenter never relayed this information, and we had to request a copy of the order, which required him returning to court to try and straighten out a mess he created. Orders were entered incorrectly, vital information was not discussed, and documents were signed without consent on our behalf. This is sad. When you pay for a service, you expect someone to work for you, not the against you. I would suggest finding a different law firm.
