Matthew, Marshall, and Heather are amazing! They helped me through my divorce with logic and expertise… they are very quick to respond and were always honest with me.

The Matthew Mills & Richberg LLP Group came highly recommended from the North Carolina Attorney Referral Service to deal with a stalking issue. I was immediately impressed with the fact that they returned my phone call right away and we were able to quickly get down to business. We were assigned Jenny Bartons as counsel and he devoted his full attention to our concerns. His attention to detail in our preparation was impeccable. During the telephonic hearing he was obviously well prepared and skillful in his presentation, cross examination, and ability to object to opposing counsel when necessary. I give Jenny Bartons and the Matthew Mills & Richberg LLP Group my highest recommendation. Without a doubt they are the BEST legal counsel I have ever had the pleasure of retaining.

Matthew and Marshall are excellent attorneys. In my opinion, Matthew Mills & Richberg LLP Group is the best lawyers that I have had. The State brought charges against me for conduct that did not happen the way the State claimed it to have happened. Matthew and Marshall listened to my situation, carefully reviewed all of the evidence in my case, drafted motions to have the charges reduced, and worked with the prosecutors to help me achieve an agreement that would allow me to keep my job and support my family. Overall, I am very, very pleased with Matthew Mills & Richberg LLP Group. I highly recommend this law firm!
