Divorce Was Not Going to be Easy
Separating and getting a divorce after being with my spouse for multiple decades seemed unimaginable. I didn’t know where to start. A good friend told me she knew a good attorney in Charlotte, Erika Angles, if I ever needed one. After the straw that broke the camel's back, I was done. I reached out and made an appointment with Erika Angles. Unfortunately, I had COVID, but I was determined to have that appointment, so I did it via conference call. Erika was extremely open and honest and said it was going to be hard but not impossible. It was a high-stakes divorce with lots of assets—businesses, multiple houses, rental properties, and our retirement portfolio. Erika explained the process at a high level. I knew divorcing him was not going to be easy, and I knew I had to have a plan. To quote Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 'You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.' Erika told me that the first step is to get him out of the house. I did that, and Erika was with me every step of the way. Due to the complexity of my case, Eric Meredith got involved. I’m not gonna lie, there were LOTS of twists and turns along the way, but it was worth it. I learned to 'trust the process.' I knew that Eric and Erika had my back and my best interests in mind. I went through mediation. Eric and Erika were very honest that it was gonna be tough. They were compassionate and guided me through everything. They asked me to have a number in mind I would be happy with. I did, and my team negotiated a great settlement for me WITHOUT going to court. I am extremely grateful to Erika, Eric, and Katherin for getting me to the finish line!
Lisa Ryan
Real compassion with top-tier legal talent
I never thought a divorce could be handled with such care and skill. My case dragged on—not because of us, but because the other side couldn’t handle how effective Erika Angles was. From day one, Attorney Angles and her paralegal, Katherin Turner, made me feel heard and supported. They explained everything simply, kept me in the loop, and faced every hurdle with calm, impressive determination. It’s rare to find someone who pairs real compassion with top-tier legal talent. I’m so grateful for how they managed my case and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in a tough spot.
Sami Salama
Made me feel like a priority
I can’t say enough about Eric and his team. From the moment I walked through the door, they made me feel like a priority. During one of the most difficult times in my life, they looked out for my best interests, worked to keep costs low, and remained committed to that throughout the process. What I appreciated most was that Eric genuinely listened to what I wanted and needed. His support and guidance made all the difference. Thank you, Eric, and thank you to the entire staff—you have been incredible. I highly recommend Eric and his team to anyone going through a difficult divorce.
Torrey White
Superb Counsel Resulted in Positive Outcome

Professionalism Stood Out
I had an excellent experience working with Erika Angles. She’s extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and always prompt in her responses. Her professionalism stood out throughout my case, and I appreciated how she approached every situation fairly, while still fighting hard for my best interests. She doesn’t back down when it counts, and I felt confident knowing she was in my corner. I would highly recommend her to family and friends!

The best attorney for divorce cases
I had a divorce case with Erika Angles, and after 3 years we finally closed the case. She is the best and could not have asked for another attorney. She was always on top of things. I 100% recommend her to anybody that wants legal representation for divorce cases.
Ana Vargas
Second to none
Eric, Mark, and the team at Jetton & Meredith are second to none. They listen to you, give the best advice, and help follow through until the end. Eric has assisted during my divorce, and Mark has with a questionable DVPO violation claim. I would recommend their law practice to others in a second! Great team and great results!
Justin McDaniel

Because It's Worth It
They ask why divorce is so expensive?? Because it's worth it. Eric accomplished getting my divorce finalized with what took my ex three different lawyers to accomplish. Divorce is frustrating and tough but you want someone that is in your corner and get the job done, Eric and his team can accomplish that!

Great Experience as a Defendant
Can't believe I'm writing a review for a family law firm but, hey, why not? My ex-husband enlisted Jetton & Meredith to help us file for our divorce, and even as the defendant, I had a great experience. Cheers to McKayla DeBord for being so patient with all my questions and never making me feel uncomfortable in what is a really strange time of life. Thanks y'all!

Not Guilty"I Got a DWI the Summer Before Going to College"
A well-known graduate of a local high school in Charlotte was attending a party at a friend’s house when he decided to drive home that Friday night. What he thought was five minutes down the road turned into a five-hour long trip to a jail cell. Client was not driving poorly or swerving across lanes, but was going 50mph in a 35mph zone. Police pulled him over, smelled weed, and found residue in the vehicle. Additionally, the cop noticed that client had a green tongue which led the police to arrest the client for driving while impaired. Client hired Attorney Mark S. Jetton, Jr. because he was not pleading guilty and having this on his record forever. Attorney Jetton took it to trial and received a not guilty verdict because the State could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that client was driving while under the influence of an impairing substance.
Dismissed"Street Racer" Falsely Accused of Racing on the Streets of Charlotte
On April 2, 2021, Jetton and Meredith’s client was purportedly charged with two separate counts of prearranged street competition. A detective who had “firsthand” knowledge and experience dealing with prearranged racing believed he saw Jetton and Meredith’s client racing a 2021 Ford Super Duty Pick-up truck. When client was arrested and thrown in jail, client called Mark S. Jetton, Jr. to handle his case. Immediately, Mr. Jetton was able to get his vehicle which was seized improperly by a search warrant. After two years of rigorous case review, the case was in superior court. Mr. Jetton was able to convince the District Attorney’s Office that his client did not commit this charged offense. Mr. Jetton was able to show that the driver of the vehicle at the time that the races were taking place was not his client.
Dismissed16 year old girl charged with driving after consuming while under 21 years old.
On a normal New Year’s Day in 2022, client was traveling to McDonalds to get some food when she was abruptly cut off by another man driving at an erratic speed. When the client honked her horn, the man brake checked client and proceeded to follow client to the McDonalds. In the parking lot, the 16 year old client was flashed a gun and had her mirror ripped off. In complete shock and terror, the client stopped in front of a State Highway Patrolman’s home coincidentally. Once the patrolman found out what happened, he called for backup. When backup arrived, the other patrolman believed the client had been drinking and charged her with a DWI. Mark S. Jetton, Jr. was able to negotiate and find holes in the State’s case to earn the 16 year old girl a dismissal of the DWI charge. This allowed the client to keep her license.
Dismissed19-Year-Old Kid Abused by a Court Issued Domestic Violence Protective Order.
After graduating high school and excited for college, 19-year-old client had a girlfriend of one year that he was excited to spend the summer with. Because of the unknown future for either of them...their relationship took a turn for the worst. After a consented order agreed upon by both parties was issued, client’s girlfriend took out criminal charges (the highest misdemeanor charges in North Carolina). Client picked up the phone and called Jetton and Meredith legal team. The alleged victim explained that client was communicating with her through a discord chat room in which she set up. When appearing in court for client, Mark S. Jetton, Jr. was able to shine light on the lies and get client’s case completely dismissed and off client’s record.
Dismissed34-year-old Finance Manager Charged with Driving Reckless and going 36 MPH Over the Speed Limit
Estimated at traveling 100 mph on I-85 in Charlotte, NC, Jetton and Meredith’s client was lasered from 961 ft. Faced with the real change of losing his license, he turned to Mark S. Jetton, Jr. for help. Upon review the case, Mr. Jetton used his proven strategic methods to negotiate with the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office to get the case dismissed.
Dismissed3AM Run to Cook Out Restaurant Turns Into Near Disaster When Driver Falls Asleep
A man on a mission was interrupted when he passed out at 3:00 in the morning in line at the drive-thru for a late night burger at Cook Out. The police got curious about the sleeping customer and questioned him. He responded that he "drank a lot" of alcohol and that he shouldn't be driving. The officers gave him several field sobriety tests and arrested him for Driving While Impaired, finding an open container in the car. Once at the station he blew a .10 BAC on the intoxilyzer. Facing the fallout from his fast food foray, the man wisely hired Jetton and Meredith. Attorney Shaefer Shepard realized that the state would need two officers to prove their case. When both officers failed to show up to court at the trial date without a good excuse, the judge denied the state's motion to continue and the prosecutor dismissed the case.
