Overview
Fresh Start Family Law, based in Raleigh, with an additional office in Wilmington, North Carolina, is here to help families navigate life’s toughest legal turning points. With nearly 30 years of combined, family-law-only experience, we serve clients throughout Wake County with representation shaped by our profound knowledge of North Carolina law and the day-to-day rhythm of local courtrooms. Our name reflects our dedication to guiding you forward with steadiness, thoughtfulness and optimism for the future.
We stay updated on changes and trends affecting divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, adoption and domestic violence. We understand that every case comes with its own emotional weight and financial stakes. Whether you’re heading into Wake County’s required mediation, working through a separation agreement or facing a high-conflict custody case, we focus on clear guidance, careful preparation and consistent support from start to finish.
Our attorneys, Catherine R. Bailey and Kathy H. Lucas, are among fewer than two percent of North Carolina lawyers to earn board certification as family law specialists from the North Carolina State Bar. This distinction reflects rigorous standards of experience, continuous education, peer review and demonstrated competence. We leverage this advanced competence to pursue favorable outcomes while maintaining respect for the dignity of all parties involved.
From the first conversation, we dig in with a thorough evaluation, so expectations are clear, goals are realistic, and the path ahead feels manageable. Our priority is to resolve your matter efficiently and professionally so you can navigate the legal process with confidence and step into your next chapter with a true fresh start.
