Blake Caulder is phenomenal! One of the most compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. We are so grateful that God placed this man in our lives, it feels like he is a part of our family! This is an amazing law firm that is truly dedicated to their clients needs. A concerned father of three children burdened by false allegations of domestic violence turned to Mr. Caulder for help.
The children's mother tried to use the false domestic violence allegations as leverage against the father. Mr. Caulder presented evidence to the court refuting the allegations o. After raising the young boy as her own, the aunt of the child retained Mr. Caulder to obtain full custody and then eventually terminate the rights of the boy's biological parents who refused to provide adequate housing, support, or resources for the child.

I couldn’t have asked for a better Lawyer. I went in feeling Hopeless and aggravated and within a short visit had all my questions answered. Not only did they explain in detail everything I needed to know but they worked with me financially. I am forever grateful to Jonathan Kidd for getting my family through this situation. Highly recommend him !!! Thank you again ..... you made the up and coming holidays just a little easier ...

Mr. Valentine is good people. He was receptive, responsive and HE even returned phone calls. Having dealt with an other firm in Gastonia, this was a pleasant, welcome surprise! He even called to check on me to see how I was doing prior to the hearings. He moved the process along as quickly as he could and obtained the results I was after. He is very professional and I would highly recommend him and his office/staff to anyone needing legal assistance. Thanks Josh. I really appreciate your efforts!

Josh is an awesome person and lawyer! He was so responsive and I felt like he truly cared about me and my family. With him, I was able to get the custody I desired and we beat Becky Brown! In Cleveland county I feel like it’s always scary to go up against her, but he is hands down the best child custody lawyer in Cleveland County. I went with my gut on him and my gut was right. So thankful to have had him on my side.

Mr. Kidd was AMAZING at representing me at court! I was a little iffy at 1st but he proved to me that he was NOT going to fail me! I was able to walk out of the courtroom a FREE man & still continue to take care of my kids b/c of him & for that I will be forever grateful of him! He prepared all evidence that was needed to beat my case! He stayed in contact when he found something new that would help me out in the in! Mr. Kidd is a GREAT recommendation if you ever need someone to represent you. I was facing a gun charge that wasn’t even my gun & he did what he needed to do to make sure I didn’t

Hopefully I’ll never need a lawyer again but if I do, this is definitely who I’d call . I had my first traffic tickets as an adult and I was so overwhelmed with what could happen! But with one easy call they assured me it would be taken care of at the best of their ability. My nerves usually get the best of me in these situations but I got a call the day of my court date only a couple hours after letting me know that everything went well 🙏 Needless to say I was relieved to put it behind me but I am beyond appreciative.

I recently hired Mr. Caulder to help me with a bunch of old traffic tickets and he was very nice and professional throughout our entire conversation, was very patient and througho. I thought it was going to takew approx a month at the least to take care of my cases and within 24 hours i had received a call personally from him letting me know my cases had been handled. i was so surprised with how quick the turn around time was and the outcome. If ever i need to hire an attorney again, i will most def be using this law firm.

Josh Valentine was the most professional, passionate, and hardworking attorney I have ever worked with! He was phenomenal!! His attention to detail and go-getter attitude made the stress and heartache of going through a custody case the best it could possibly be. Josh was always available to answer all of our questions and his advice was second to… none. He helped us win everything we wanted and more, in terms of our custody agreement. He truly is a hidden gem in Cleveland County! We will be forever grateful for the wonderful service Josh provided for us!
