  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 .

  Im not so sure about the integrity of the individuals representing this company. After hearing several testimonials about how helpful this firm was, my experience has been the exact opposite. Since consulting with B. Camden Caparra on 2/24/25, I've received absolutely NO follow-up. It was explained to me during consultation that he needed to reach out to a few of his counterparts with questions about the specifics of my case and he would follow up with me, I've heard absolutely nothing from him since. I've went into the office to follow up, called and left several messages with reception and I've sent two emails all to no avail.

  Horrible. John Carter, Trey Carter, (whoever it is) is awful at handling DWIs. If he is assigned as a public defender, I would immediately apply for a different one. Barely any communication unless you call him yourself. Also good luck trying to ask to file a form through him as he will tell you, "I honestly don't know how to do it" but will then proceed to tell you step-by-step on how to do it. Then requests the court to charge me money for his services after conviction of a ridiculous amount when he didn't even do a damn thing except read some stuff to me over the phone that I already knew and show up to court on my behalf. Absolutely god awful representation and would not recommend to anyone.

  Mr. Camden Caprara was such a blessing to me. He helping resolve a legal issue with my elderly mother. He listened to me and understood my predicament. He outlined several approaches to help remedy my situation. We were able to achieve the results I was praying for. His legal assistant, Tracy, is amazing. She knows her job well and is so friendly and sweet. I would recommend Camden Caprara 150% to anyone who needs an attorney for family issues.

  We recently had a real estate closing here and the process was super simple and efficient. Staff was knowledgeable and had everything ready to go when we walked in. One of the easiest real estate closings I've ever had!

  Don't use this attorney. They are unreliable. I wanted to use them for estate planning however they never returned my calls. I left multiple message but could not get a call back. The young lady on the front desk was super nice and tried to help me but their policy must be to send phone calls to voicemail never to get returned.

  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.

  I worked with Camden Caprara on a somewhat tedious custody case, and I couldn't have asked for better representation. From the start, he understood the dynamics clearly and stayed focused on what mattered most: my son's stability and well‑being. There was a point in the case where tensions were high and a lot of pressure was being applied from the other side. Camden handled that situation with complete composure and clarity. The way he navigated that moment shifted the entire direction of the case and made it clear I had the right attorney in my corner. Throughout the process, he was steady, responsive, and honest. He explained every step in a way that made sense, and I always felt like he had a firm grasp on the strategy. Tracy and the rest of the team were also great to work with: organized, timely, and supportive. In the end, the outcome was exactly what my son needed, and I'm grateful for the work Camden put into getting us there. If you're looking for an attorney who listens, understands the situation, and genuinely fights for what's right, I highly recommend him.
