Jerry Lloyd

A very informative and productive first meeting that exceeded my expectations. Mr. Maitland and the office staff were helpful and professional.

David Hoffman

We reached out to attorney, Robert Maitland, for the very first time, regarding a very stressful, time-sensitive, provider related conflict on a major home renovation. A huge 40-piece cabinet order was to be delivered the following day but the day before the already weeks late delivery was to happen, we received unacceptable demands for payment by the supplier who threatened refusal to deliver the following day unless their unreasonable demands were met.The cabinets had already been delayed for weeks and needless to say we were frustrated and anxious about the job slow down. Even though the firm’s appointment booking system only provided one single 30-minute consultation, Mr. Maitland not only took his time, prior to our consult, to review our contract and the supporting information that I had forwarded earlier that morning. He never made us feel rushed during the consult in which he recommended a solid solution. More, he agreed to reach out to the provider, drafted a letter of agreement, and calmed the situation down that very afternoon so the delivery could proceed the next day. He accomplished all of the above on a two hour window! More importantly, he negotiated a solution that avoided what might otherwise have been a nightmarish and costly legal battle and anxiety-ridden additional project delay. Frankly, I’ve never received such competent, thoughtful and effective legal service in such a stressful, time-condensed situation, including during my 20+ years as CEO and owner of a major real estate sales and marketing company. If I could have given Mr.Maitland a higher rating then 5-stars I would have done so. If you are looking for a client-best-interest solution, quality legal advice and service from a brilliant and calming communicator you will not find a better contract lawyer than Mr. Maitland!

Stephanos Venakides

I am a professor of mathematics and I have been a resident of Chapel Hill for the last 40 years. I am a widow and I have two adult children. Me and my wife moved to the United States at the age of 32 when I decided to attend graduate school at NYU; we eventually settled in Chapel Hill where we started our family. The experience of living in this country has always been beautiful, but because I grew up in another country my own personal wisdom and experience had always caused me to be apprehensive regarding the services that involve life’s most personal matters. This was the case until I met Robert Maitland, the managing partner of the Maitland Law Firm. In addition to being a kind and genuine individual, Rob is the best at handling the personal matters that affect us in our daily lives. Whether it be purchasing a house, writing a will or trust, handling a speeding ticket, or helping my daughter with her small business, Rob has always stood by me and my family as he has guided us through life’s complexities. In some sense, Rob has been the fifth member of our family as he has been standing by us for the last 20 years. I highly recommend the services of Robert Maitland to anyone. As my mother stated, “it’s always good to have a lawyer in the family.” We are fortunate to have a lawyer in our family and that individual is Robert Maitland. Lastly, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rob’s partners Michele English and Ryan Mumper. Ryan and Michele are not only highly capable lawyers, but also share the same family values of personal service that Rob has excelled at as the Tar Heel Attorney.

I have been a client of Robert Maitland @ Maitland & English Law Firm for 16-1/2 years.

He has always advised me professionally and in my very best interests, no matter what I brought before him for legal advice. So far he has never failed me, or my Mom.

Nicholas Reid

Rob is absolutely fantastic to work with. Definitely takes the time to listen and understand your perspective, while pushing you outside of a self imposed comfort zone. Highly recommended!

Alan Jose

I had the privilege of working with Rob after major life and career events left me spinning and in "survival mode.” Rob helped visualize my desired future and how to make the space to start moving into that direction. He helped me identify skills, resources and networks at my disposal, and held me accountable in the process of taking control of my present, and to create the space to become a better version of me. A career coach is not a therapist and not an instructor. He is much more no-nonsense, result-oriented, time-bound, and unafraid to push or help directly. Amongst the three options we explored: career move, franchising and from-scratch entrepreneurship we chose the later. The most valuable experience for me in working with Rob is realizing that he was personally invested in betting on me, and making my success, our success. Life sometimes brings you what you need when you need it. I am truly grateful it brought me to Rob.

Eric Plow

I have used this firm for many real estate transactions. They respond quickly to questions, and have helped me a lot over the years. I plan to continue using this firm for any and all future real estate transactions and legal work. Highly recommend!
