My attorney Matt Vilmer, partner, helped me through a civil case that should never have been a case to begin with. It was over a 2 year process and he continued to show his depth of knowing litigation as if he were preparing for his law school graduate class. Over and over he outsmarts his opponent. Furthermore, I have used WBB for other needs, because it is like a one-stop shop. I have used them for a speeding ticket and to my amazement they were able to get me no points in a situation I was bound to have them. Attorney Katelin Taylor is well educated in this arena.

The worst thing I have ever done, stepping into their office. Extortionate pricing for my divorce proceedings. Incompetent attorney that cost me gravely. I had to file for bankruptcy, almost lost my house twice. I have no health insurance, not enough alimony to get by month to month. No pensions. Do not go near this law firm for divorce proceedings.!!!! They destroyed my life. One star is too much

We contacted Weaver Bennett & Bland, P.A., Attorneys at Law to prepare our will. They were very professional and explained everything very thoroughly to us. We were delighted with their services and would recommend them to our friends.
Eran Weaver put together my Will, Power of Attorney and Health Care Power of Attorney documents and while these might seem like a pretty straightforward set of documents, he asked me a ton of relevant questions and brought up various concerns that he felt I needed to make sure I addressed (or was at least aware of them). He spent the time that I needed to get comfortable with the decisions I was making and I believe I made better choices because of his guidance. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of those same services.

Bill Whittaker was very thorough and responsive. He is easy to work with and communicates clearly to make sure that all the bases our covered. I never had to wait long to receive a return email or phone cal. The law firm seems very organized. Every task from receiving documents to paying invoices had an electronic option and was easy to do.

I was referred to Mr. Whittaker's Law Firm by a friend of mine and as this was my first separation, he took the time to address my commoner questions and concerns. He was extremely efficient and as soon as I hired him he was on the ball thus saving me a lot of time and money in the long run. I got everything I wanted and that's really all I could ask for. I am highly satisfied with his performance and precision!

Matt Villmer and his team did an outstanding job on my case. I couldn't be more pleased. They were on top of it from start to finish and worked their tails off to get me the best outcome. They took a huge amount of stress out of an incredibly stressful situation. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

I recently made a costly purchase at a major dealership....only to find it had been damaged. I approached the Seller twice to give them the chance to correct the problem... they more or less laughed at me! I had never considered taking legal action before but knew I had been wronged. Thank God I was referred to David Bland...he is an attorney that LISTENS. With his years of experience he assured me I had a strong case..he kept me informed of what was going on with the case and WE WON!!! Need I say More...thanks Dave!

No one ever *wants* to employ an attorney but if you need one, this is the place to go. Dave Bland has become a part of our family and fought tirelessly for our family. There are no words to express our gratitude for his effort in our quest for justice except to say that our fight was his fight.

Highly recommend Eran Weaver. Our family has used his services for estate planning and probate several times now and have been extremely pleased. Upon my aunt's death (he had drawn up her Will) he has helped us very successfully navigate the propate process, thoroughly answering our questions and making helpful recommendations as necessary. When my mother recently passed away I did not hesitate to retain Mr Weaver's services to help us with the resolution of her estate as well.

The loss of my mother-in-law was very upsetting and a big concern because we (my wife, brother-in-law, his wife and myself) weren't sure how to manage the estate.
We asked for a consultation with W,B&B to get a summary of what we needed to do. I had used them for my father's will and POA in the past.
Eran was very polite and kind. It was clear that he had worked with people during their time of loss in the past.
However, we left the consultation confused and just as worried as when we came in. We hoped to learn what was required of us but ended up hiring them to do everything for us because we were worried we were going to get ourselves in trouble doing things wrong.
Over the next several weeks we slowly began to understand the process and became more and more frustrated that it could have been explained plainly in our first meeting and saved us hundreds or a couple of thousand dollars in attorney's fees.
Even when we decided we needed to stop using them, it cost another $220 just to call and say "Stop" and have them notify the county clerk that they were no longer representing us.
If you need to understand a legal matter, this is not the place to go. It will be explained to you in a manner meant to go over your head.
Again, Eran is very polite but most of the contact afterward is with his paralegal Haley and she is very difficult without customer service skills.

Our company paid Weaver Bennett and Bland to draft a real estate lease agreement for us. Now we have to enforce this contract and our litigator is uneasy due to a poorly written acceleration clause. We were charged over four hundred per hour for a contract that wasn’t written properly. It’s infuriating to pay overpriced attorneys for work that you can’t valid was done correctly until you have to enforce it. Before you leave these guys positive reviews, see how one of their contracts holds up in action first. Obviously we don’t recommend Weaver Bennett and Bland law firm.

Something about that last review tells me I really, really like these AWARD WINNING folks. Good versus The Evil Empire, which was built on lies to begin with. Break out the LAW-O-PEDIA books and let em have it!!! Mr. Weaver, tear down these below lies and find the justice. I also paid $50,000 to a crook, who sold me a fairy tail. It is time for JUSTICE!!! Jim Bakker did nothing wrong either, until a five week trial, which resulted in what? On August 28 in Charlotte, North Carolina, a jury found him guilty, GUILTY and more GUILTY on all 24 counts. LETS TANGO

Between the years 2012 and 2016, our companies hired Weaver Bennet & Bland to act as our registered agent, form corporations for us, draft lease agreements, facilitate the sale of one of our our businesses, and draft promissory notes related to the business sale. We spend well over 50K over the course of our relationship.
Around 2017, the owner, Lee Weaver, started another law firm in Matthews, Weaver & Budd. In late 2017, there was a conflict issue with Mr. Weaver and Weaver & Budd as we found out they were representing our opposition on some of the contracts that Weaver, Bennett & Bland drafted for us.
To cover Lee Weaver’s missteps in the conflict issue Weaver, Bennett & Bland lied in writing about ever representing me and my companies. They literally denied me ever being a client. Astonishing.
Not only does this show that honesty is not top priority with Weaver Bennett & Bland, but my situation also shines light on the fact that I paid a lot of money for contracts that are apparently easy to pick apart and fight. If these lawyers know the weak parts of their own contracts, why don’t they write them with more care?
Weaver Bennett & Bland broke our trust and lost our respect. We were good clients and should not have been treated so unfairly. Since they stated in writing that I was never a client, then I should get my money back. Since their own lawyers can find holes in their own contracts, then I should get my money back.
All these positive reviews are indicative of reputation management software which is used to sandbag online rankings by sending select clients review invites.

Bill has been the best lawyer anyone could ask for. I owned a business with my wife and needed to own it completely so I could continue making a living. He executed it very quickly and also informed me his plans through out the process. I never felt left out. He’s on top of his game. No one wants to be in this situation but when you’re in a separation, having a good lawyer that fights for you allows you to keep making a living and not stress more than you need.

Recommend every one to stay away from this Law firm. No communications and updates. Took money and did nothing. Hired David Bland to do work. When I Initially meet with him and explain in details my case and asked him if that is something that he able to handle. He insured me that Law on my side. And case is piece of cake. After few months of no updates I decided to call and they told me that they couldn't get hold of anybody from opposite party( by the way charged me for conversation). It took me 10 min to get a phone call back from same people that they couldn't reach for months. After a 7 months passed I didn't hear anything from them, I schedule meeting and stopped by office to get updates and he had no clue what property we were talking about(have proof of it) and I had to explain AGAIN who I'm and why I hired him. All he told me that other party attorney was fired which was well known fact. I told him not to do anything anymore for me. Anyway, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY WITH THEM!!!. Year later I asked them to give me detailed list of what I was charged for. No surprised that dates and time were not corresponded with reality and extra charges for something that never happened. And I will report it to NC State Bar. ONCE AGAIN- if you want to save time and money- STAY AWAY!!!!!

I hope I never have to use him again but if I should, I would call Bill again without a second thought. ~Karla

Heather and the staff at Weaver, Bennett & Bland, P.A. did an excellent job during my divorce. I was kept informed of all of the steps as they were happening either by Heather personally or one of the team members. While frustrated at times due to the circumstances, I was never frustrated with Heather or anyone at the law firm mostly due to the fact that I was never 'left in the dark'.

David Bland has represented my companies for over twenty-five years. I have always found his counsel to be of the highest level. On more than one occasion over the years I have called on Dave's experience to provide legal advice in prosecuting competitors for trademark violations and unfair and deceptive trade practices. He has always been there for me and my companies. I would highly recommend Dave Bland and Weaver, Bennet and Bland to anyone who requires legal services. This firm is truly the best.

We had a really bad experience with David Bland. He has very poor communication skills. He was rude, arrogant and condescending. In a nut shell: He failed to do his job and another attorney had to be brought in to influence the process before Mr. Bland took it seriously. A mistake made by his office cost us a lot of money out of pocket to a doctor that Bland had recommended. Mr. Weaver chose to back Mr. Bland and the firm took their entire fee plus what was owed to the doctor. They refused to admit error and we, the client, lost out. Find another lawyer.

I recently, for the first time in my life, had the need of legal counsel and was refered to David Bland. I was immediately impressed with his approach both from a professional and personal aspect towards the needs of my case and my family. I found him to be a man of great character, honesty and a "pitbull" attitude at making sure we were treated fairly. Thanks to David we reached a fair settlement that would not have been possible without him. I would highly reccommend him and his staff to anyone needing legal help. I now feel that I have both a friend and attorney for life.
