Did you know Wake Family Law Group has one of the largest groups of board-certified family law specialists practicing together in the Triangle?!

⚖️ To be certified as a family law specialist in North Carolina, an attorney must have practiced a minimum number of years with substantial involvement in family law, undergo a peer review process, and pass a written exam (like a bar exam just for family law). Specialists must apply for re-certification every five years.

⚖️ Why does certification matter? The State Bar’s certification process helps the public identify attorneys who are experienced and skilled in family law and informs the public of this expertise.

⚖️ EIGHT of our attorneys are board-certified family law specialists, and our associates are all required to apply to be specialists as soon as they are eligible to do so.

⚖️ Our firm’s focus and requirement of having attorneys who are all specialists or working toward becoming specialists, shows our clients and prospective clients we value being EXPERTS in our practice area.

Timeline PhotosIs it possible to recover from an affair? The answer for most couples is yes.

As a Certified Gottman Therapist and the Director of Research for The Gottman Institute, Carrie Cole M.Ed., LPC, has heard many versions of this story in her couples therapy practice and research over the years. An affair, whether emotional or sexual, is devastating. Both partners suffer tremendous pain. However, an affair does not have to mean the end.

It is possible to create a stronger, more emotionally connected, and richer relationship from the ashes of an affair. It’s not quick or easy. As with any serious injury, it takes time to heal and it usually takes therapy.

Learn how couples who seek help can work with a therapist to create a more meaningful and healthy relationship after a sexual or emotional betrayal: http://bit.ly/3ifYhEx
