Fantastic lawyer and a nice guy

He can't even get a weed charge dropped. Bad lawyer can find better for cheap.

Really bad communication with his client.

A trusted and respected man of his word. He will always give you your options and provide the best possible outcome.

We have hired Mr. McWilliam to handle four different cases, all different in nature, and in each case, we have been extremely satisfied with Mr. McWilliam's legal knowledge and passionate approach in the courtroom. When Mr. McWilliam can't readily be reached because he is busy in court, his assistant James is always a phone call away. We are proud to call Mr. McWilliam our trusted family attorney.

I have used and recommended John on more than one occasion he will tell you like it is if he cannot beat your case he will let you know but he most certainly strive for the best outcome he likes to win cases not loose them if you want someone who will fight for your rights and your future this is your guy. John & James work hand in hand to keep you updated throughout the whole process great law firm.

Tremendous attorney. I was very happy I chose John McWilliam. Recommendations were spot on, in that I had the best possible outcome. Definitely recommend.

John McWilliam represented me for a dui in which my back was .02. The DA was relentless in trying to pursue this, despite .08 being the legal limit. At some point the DA offered me a plea, which I felt I wanted to take because the process was somewhat terrifying, John told me not to accept that it was a scare tactic. John got the case dismissed and kept me sane during this stressful time. He's a master in the art of debate and well versed in NC law...highly recommend!

Please don't pay John for any service he didn't put any effort into my case. I paid him in full and was treated like a charity case. He literally didn't say anything to my defense while we were in court. I asked for sev2things like asking for body cam and to sopena my witness he did nothing. I wouldn't choose him if i was you. Im still handling my case right now after he asked for more money than agrred too.

I didn't think it was possible for an attorney to be this unprofessional. He literally put no effort into my case until a week before the last court date and misled me several times as to the best course of action. Extreme lack of communication and it's evident he is only about the money. He'll charm you with his gift of gab at first but once he gets that $, he barely puts in any effort. You can overlook this review, but for the smart people, stay away from this guy as far as possible. I'm surprised this guy hasn't been disbarred.

The best lawyer I could have possibly chosen. He is so knowledgeable and confident in the court room. Very experienced man . He is awesome ! And not to mention James, his assistant whom is also great. They are always a text or call away ! Very Quick responses. He got my Charges dismisses because he knew what was up and frankly made the lying cops sound stupid . Highly recommended

He is a very knowledgeable lawyer, especially with DUIs. He takes the time to create the best possible outcome for your situation. Highly recommended!

In the entire time I’ve ever used attorneys I’ve only once used another attorney and that’s because I didn’t know of John McWilliam. Every time I do something, no matter how serious or stupid it is, he gets it dismissed — I’m not even kidding. He works magic in a court room. I’ve unfortunately gotten the chance to seem him in action several times. He’s like the Kobe Bryant of Law, the Clint Eastwood of the judicial system. He walks into the courtroom like he owns the place, he goes straight to the table to get your papers, he then goes to the cop who charged you and he will make that cop forget he’s at court. He’ll put that cop in a good mood so the cop will be more likely to give you a break. He does a lot more and mixes it all up to make for one incredible court experience. When the DA calls your name to ask if you’ve got an attorney or not and you reply “John McWilliam”, the DA will kind of studder a bit and become nervous like a grade school kid getting their first kiss. You have to see it for yourself. And if you really want to understand his magic, you’ve got to go to get charged more than once.

John is a consummate professional at practicing law. He is honest, forthright, and looks out for the best interest of his clients. I can't sing his praises enough. He met with me on very short notice, and was present at my hearing as promised.

If you are looking for a lawyer who, not only knows the legal system in and out, but will use it for your benefit...look no further than John McWilliam.

So far so good. Sounds promising after the consult.

This guy completely seemed to be minimal help for my sister and her family. My sister had serious charges, it took him MONTHS to go see her in jail. My mom called his office seems like on a weekly basis only hearing from him a few times. He told us everything we wanted to hear to keep our hopes up (and to keep the payments coming...). After my sister was sentenced (which was years longer than what was expected) he left. My sister, our family, did not understand what everything means with the sentencing and the requirements set forth by the judge. My mom called multiple times days after just trying to get answers and never called back. never went and spoke to my sister after sentencing. just left :( not to mention, the DA seemed to not have a good relationship with him and had a lame closing argument.

Fantastic Attorney!!!
