Our Process

At Jerkins Family Law, we know that taking the first step can feel overwhelming. Our process is designed to be clear, supportive, and efficient—so you always know what to expect.

1. Schedule a Consultation

Once you contact Jerkins Family Law, our team will help you schedule a consultation with Attorney Jerkins or Attorney McDougal. Consultations are available in person, by phone, or via video conference, allowing you to choose the option that works best for you. We offer flexible scheduling and are happy to accommodate busy work and family lives whenever possible.

2. Complete Your Intake Information

Prior to your consultation, you’ll receive access to our Client Intake Form, which provides important background information and details specific to your situation. Completing the form ahead of time allows your attorney to prepare and focus on the issues that matter most during your meeting. If you are unable to complete the form in advance, our staff will have everything ready for you when you arrive.

3. Meet With Your Attorney

Initial consultations typically last 60–90 minutes and are offered at a low flat rate. During this time, your attorney will listen carefully to your concerns, ask thoughtful questions, and explain how North Carolina family law applies to your circumstances. We focus on education and transparency, ensuring you understand your rights, options, and potential outcomes before moving forward.

4. Review Next Steps

At the conclusion of your consultation, you’ll receive an estimate of services along with a Legal Services Agreement to review at your own pace. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your decision. When you’re ready to proceed, we’ll finalize the agreement and begin working toward a clear plan and a stronger future.
