  John is, without a doubt, the top custody lawyer in Jacksonville, NC, and hiring him was the best decision I made for my family. From our first consultation, John demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, empathy, and a deep knowledge of North Carolina family law. He took a terrifying, high-conflict situation and provided a calm, strategic path forward that secured a favorable outcome for my children. What sets John apart is his genuine dedication to his clients' best interests. He is not just a lawyer going through the motions; he is an advocate who truly cares. He listened intently to my concerns, answered every question promptly, and was always prepared, professional, and firm in court. His expertise in navigating complex custody arrangements ensured my voice was heard. If you are facing a difficult custody battle in Jacksonville, I cannot recommend John enough. He is honest, efficient, and fiercely protective of his clients’ rights. Thanks to his legal brilliance and hard work, my children are safe and thriving. If you want the best, do not hesitate to call John. He truly is a five-star attorney who delivers results. Tracy- paralegal In a town with many options, Tracy stands out as the gold standard. Her expertise, integrity, and tireless work ethic making her an invaluable asset to any legal team and a lifesaver for anyone needing legal support. Coming from someone that has been represented all the way in California for the case in North Carolina these two in this law firm have been Absolutely phenomenal.

  John Ceruzzi has been my attorney since 2021. I could not recommend someone more highly or someone that you should use more than him. I needed him for Family Law and custody. As a dad entering the family law system, I was worried how it was going to play out. John handled everything perfectly. He always took my calls, always kept me updated, he always answered my questions (no matter how many I had), and most of all, he lessened my worries and anxiousness over court and the outcome. No matter what the issue was he handled it professionally, quickly and was able to get the best outcome possible which was exactly what I wanted. For anyone out there that needs an attorney, PLEASE choose John Ceruzzi. It will be the best decision you ever make. He changed my life and my daughter’s life forever and for the better! if I could go back in time knowing what I know now, I couldn’t even imagine picking anyone else. I’d give him 1000/5 stars if it was possible .

  Our experience with Jessica Tarsi was horrible. What she promised in an email she did not deliver. As a retired paralegal I know that legal matters may be complex however a lawyer should never make promises they cannot keep or rather say were never discussed.

  I hired Kyle Fountain for a divorce and he he never filed the separation papers and when I asked him to file the divorce papers and now he wants an extra 450 for attorney fees and 250 for the judge fees. Can't believe he would try and get more money from me when he never sent the separation papers
