I spoke with John Wait over the phone about a matter concerning my rental property that I thought I was managing well enough by myself but wanted to know the worst case scenario where I would need to hire a lawyer.
Mr Wait was extremely patient, especially for some random person to call and interrupt his day to ask for advice. He looked up the law on the spot to make sure I had the correct information, we talked through different scenarios and which ways it could turn. He gave me estimates on cost depending on the scenario.
Most of all Mr Wait was very honest, didn't try to sell me services I didn't need, equipped me with the info I did need for success, and welcomed me to call back with any other questions. From the brief phone call interaction I would not hesitate to use the services of Mr Wait should the need arise.

After having trouble getting our previous law firm to respond to our needs we sought the services of Martin and Gifford. Mr. Gifford has been a pleasure to work but above all provides professional and expedient help with the needs of our condominium complex. Highly recommended.

Recently I needed the advice and guidance of Mr. Gifford. He was always supportive, informative and professional. I trusted him from the beginning and felt he always had my best interest at heart. He knows what's best and you can count on him to lead you to get the best results. I can't thank him enough for his professionalism. No matter when I called he was there. Thank you! Thank you for your kindness, guidance and honesty! Be blessed.

Fantastic, Did great.

After a day of getting the run around from other people I called with complicated questions about judgments attached to property. My call was answered quickly and so were my questions, the attorney was very knowledgable, pointed me in the right direction. Thank You!!

Looking for an honest, personable, professional, knowledgable, communicative lawyer?
I highly recommend John Wait. I hired John for a couple of legal issues over the past few years and was extremely pleased with every aspect of our working relationship. John is upfront, easy to talk to, clear and concise about expectations and probable outcomes. John was on top of every facet of what needed to be accomplished.
Thank You, John!

Bill Gifford and Will Martin have been a huge resource for me over the years. If there is a situation that needs input and attention, they have always offered timely and thorough information needed to make sure I am handling all situations with integrity.

Martin & Gifford help me focus on correctly doing the legal, ethical and morally right things. This day and age, I don't see how anyone in the Real Estate business in North Carolina could go without having a good working relationship with Martin & Gifford. They are leaders and problem solvers on what's going on within the Real Estate industry today. They are the "go to" firm when needing NC Real Estate industry specific advice.

Getting in touch Martin & Gifford before an issue develops has been the best way for me to cover the bases and stay ahead of situations that otherwise might have escalated. I am sure to keep them as the most valuable resource in my risk management program going forward.

John Wait has assisted us several times over the past few years with various legal matters with outstanding performance. His demonstrated expertise as legal council shines through in everything he does. He balances genuine caring and attention to your case with a confident and obvious passion for giving 100% effort to……putting it bluntly…winning for you. I highly recommend him and his firm.

I am a Realtor that has been in the business for a little over 12 years, and I never thought I'd ever be in a situation where I'd need an Attorney... well, the saying is true that "if you've been in the business long enough someone will make a complaint about you" happened to me. I had a past client file a claim against me to the Real Estate Commission. I hired Bill Gifford to help me out with the case and he exceeded my expectations and I only received a reprimand in a case that normally I would have gotten a suspension. I would highly recommend the Martin and Gifford Law Firm!!
