I had the opportunity to pick between several dozen attorneys to fight my charge. It gives me great satisfaction to state that Ms. Amily McCool, with Scharff law firm could not have been a better representative for my case.

Ms. McCool was communicative, professional, and honest and gave me an intuition to trust her as soon as I talked to her for the first time.

I knew my case was in good hands and if I could give her 100 5-star reviews, I wouldn’t hesitate.

Thank you, Amily!

Mrs Amily! Is the best!

She is so caring... kind... responsible... and smart!
She has been very knowledgeable in her work ...maintains contact with you ... any questions you have she answers them to her knowledge... and went out of her way to help my bf in dealing with situations the jail did not want to help with ... Thank you Mrs Amily! You are so much appreciated!

We called this law firm to get some simple legal advice for moving our business to North Carolina. The lawyer was so rude and assertive that she was an attorney it was ridiculous. I then asked her based on past experience has she ever seen anyone charged with the 3-strikes you in law. She instantly began acting all weird and said she couldn’t give me legal advice as an attorney. Very rude and head-strong, I would definitely not trust them in an actual courtroom.

INCREDIBLE Firm

I'm 17 years olds and long story short I got a ticket for an expired registration, but missed my court date. The Scharff Firm took care of my ticket in impeccable timing. They treated my family and me with respect, and were very easy to work with. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to anyone, and on the off chance that I forget another ticket, it will be Scharff who represents me.

I can't say enough about how wonderfully considerate and professional Mr. Scharff and his assistant Reba were to me. Mr. Scharff will get all my business in the future. When you have young drivers at home, things can happen. So wonderful to know there attorneys out there that really care!!

I can not say enough good/ great things about Jesse and Reba. They have truly been nothing less than a blessing in my life.
Jesse will always keep you informed and will also treat your case as if it was a cherished friend or family member.
I have complete trust in Jesse and his ability to work for and advocate for his clients.
Not one negative word at all!!

I think the reviews speak for themselves. However I had to write a review of my own to let others know that you shouldn't look any further for attorney. Scharff Law Firm going to go above and beyond for you. They provided me with the best outcome for my case and I'm forever grateful for their work and diligence. A true blessing that words can't describe.

I'd contacted them with a couple issues (FTA and minor possession). They were always very courteous, and helpful. Amily worked to help me get my court costs reduced and was always quick to respond to any questions I had in a timely manner.

Would highly recommend this firm to anyone, and if any future problems were to occur, I'd have no hesitation to hire them again.

Jesse Scharff and his team (Reba and Rashad) were very professional from day one, yet personable at the same time. We knew we were in the right place when we first spoke with Jesse, Reba and Rashad. They helped us every step of the way with our case and always kept us informed. Jesse’s initiative in the court room won our case and I can’t thank him and his team enough! This is a solid team that complement each other’s strengths and field of expertise for the greater good of the client. My family and I are very happy with the outcome, and we can now move on to better things in life. If you want clarity, understanding and a knowledgeable law firm to represent you and improve your odds, we certainly recommend Scharff Law Firm.

This is the guy you want fighting for your future. I’m not one to bet but if I were, I’d put all my chips on Jesse. He is Fantastic! Professional, honest, knowledgeable and confident not to mention trustworthy. I'm glad he handled my DUI case, which resulted in a dismissal!!! I honestly don’t think I would have won with any other lawyer.

I also want to say thanks to the awesome people that work with him and helped me throughout this entire process. More specifically, I’m grateful to both Amily McCool and Reba Scharff. Amily for all the work and research she did and Reba for always responding to my emails in a timely manner. Thank you both!

Without a doubt the most honest and forthright defense attorney I have have met in my life. Scharff law offered me a comfort and insight that I had never experienced. No one wishes to be in an unannounced circumstance and often times being adjudicated as guilty before proven innocent. I'm blessed to have been represented by Shcarff Law Firm. Thank you!

I knew from the first conversation I had with Jesse Scharff that I would be making a mistake hiring anyone else. I had actually already retained another attorney but quickly terminated that relationship to go with Jesse - I heard more from him than I did that first lawyer before I even hired him! Needless to say, I was extremely impressed by his attentiveness to my case since day one. Not to mention I was always able to get in touch with him when I needed to or even if I just had a follow up question.

His wife and partner, Reba, is just as spectacular and kept me updated throughout the entire process. They both respond quickly, and I do mean quickly - I was never left waiting for a reply or callback for longer than an hour, maybe even 30 minutes.

For a very fair and reasonable fee, they followed through on everything they said they would, and even accomplished those things that he “couldn’t make any promises” on. And of course attorneys have to say that about some things to protect themselves, but Jesse worked magic on my case and got me results that I truly believe no one else could have or would have.

My case was an unusual and extremely time-sensitive one. Jesse was realistic and upfront about everything from the beginning, but he worked his magic and got me what I needed and with time to spare at that. I don’t know how he does it, but he truly understands the system and the law and knows what he’s talking about and knows who to talk to in order to make it happen.

Stop looking and hire Scharff Law Firm to represent you now! I promise you won’t regret it.

If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable and welcoming lawyer to represent you then Scarff Law Firm is the choice to make. *HIGHLY RECOMMEND* He listened to my concerns, provided great representation, was very informative and updated me regularly throughout the duration of my case. Not to mention, although price varies with case, he is in my opinion very affordable and flexible. And guess what? I didn’t have to travel back to NC for any court appearances which was a money saver and made taking care of case much easier for me personally. Thank You Jesse !! You’re the best !! if you select him to represent you you would not regret it all !!!! Keep up the great work Jesse ! You and you’re wife are amazing !

Jesse is amazing! Hire if you're looking for someone who will advocate for your rights, fight for justice, and communicate with you every step of the way. He really is a great human being, and an even better attorney. CASE DISMISSED.

As I type this review, I'm very emotional.... I need to write this review to tell the world, that this is the best attorney that I've ever met (actually the only one ). My first encounter with Jesse was by telephone and from that conversation he made me feel secure that everything would be alright. Without meeting me personally he said "I got you". That alone spoke volumes, because he believed in me and worked to prove my innocence. His professionalism was astonishing. I'll be forever grateful for what he did for me. There is still good people in the world that really do have the best intentions for you❤. If you EVER need an attorney, my friend Jesse Scharff is the man! I just got myself an attorney for life as well as a friend! Blessings upon blessings to the Scharff Law Firm.

I was facing a criminal situation which could destroy all the hard work put into my career and my ability to provide for my family. From the initial conversation with Amily McCool at the Scharff Law Firm I felt the passion in her words she spoke and the comfort they provided, even though no promises where made as to what would be the outcome of my case. I felt she would work diligently to resolve it to receive the best outcome possible. I want to thank her for presenting my case to the court with energy and skill resulting in a full dismissal. If you need an attorney who has the passion to win call on Amily McCool at the Scharff Law Firm.

Working with Amily on a domestic violence case was a GOD send! Amily contacted me the same day she was referred to me by another attorney. We met that day, she took my case and got me the results that I needed. She went above and beyond and handled my case with ease and most importantly, peace.

Amilly is the epitome of what a good caring lawyer should be.She listened to me and took on my case without concern for how much money she could make,she handled my case because she is a decent caring empathetic person who treated me with respect and dignity.She got charges that were falsely filed against me by my abuser dismissed . She is a wonderful person and a great attorney. I think we need more attorneys like MS Mccool. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you,

I am very thankful for the professional and interpersonal skills displayed by the Scharff law firm during the short period of time I was able to with them. Jesse and Reba are extremely proactive, accessible and a pleasure to work with. Although there are not any guarantees when dealing with the court system, they go above and beyond to help you get the outcome you want all while being realistic about what is on the table so that you can make the most informed decision. I was able to watch Jesse in action while helping a friend through a difficult time. I am so thankful for the services you guys provide, your dedication and advocacy skills. I will forever be grateful for your help and support during this difficult process.

I am so incredibly grateful for Amily. I never expected to be in the situation that I was in but I was glad to have her in my corner. She went above and beyond to help me and I can't imagine where I would be without her today. She truly cares and you can feel it. If I could give her ten stars I would. I highly recommend her. Thank you Amily, truly.

I contacted Jesse for my needs solely based on reviews. It did not disappoint. He and his wife Reba are very professional, understanding, and courteous. Jesse went above and beyond any expectations that I had. He was always quick to reply to any email that I sent him and everything played out just as he predicted. He is very knowledgeable and has good relationships with people at the courthouse. I would definitely recommend him if your needs fit.

To Jesse and his Wife and Team

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to me and my situation. I was falsely of a Felony situation 18 lmonth's ago. It has cost me over $90,000 in lost income. I had a attorney orginally that was not a bad person just not high level and Top Level Attorney Jesse and his team.

I could not afford the level of Attorney that Jesse is and he worked with me to change over to him and in the end did the following:

1. Saved me immediately $2,000 and got a warrant for my arrest removed that should have never been issued due to the fact my first attorney failed to show up in court on a day he was supposed to cover (Like Jesse did numerous time and never missed a day he promised to cover me). That was critical as i live in Florida and could not afford traveling back and forth unless I had to be there.
2. My case would have likely never went to Superior Court had I had jesse at the District Court level.
3. He moved the case along much more rapidly and due to the slow process of the court saved me probably another $100,000 in lost income. When you have a Pending Felony (Which I did not do and it was proven that I did not) ....You cant get a good Salary job. I am used to making 5K to 8K a month as a Manager (I have 2 Graduate Degrees and Former Major US ARmy). Even with those Credentials BECAUSE OF MY PENDING CASE COULD NOT GET A GOOD JOB.
4. I will not divulge the details as I do not want others to take advantage of his and his wifes' wonderful hearts. But I lost my job/ my house and was financially and mentally devastated. He went at times months without payment to continue to represent me and did not drop me as a Client. What lawyer of his Caliber does that?
5. I offered to pay him the balance in time as I can now work and be paid the value my education and experience. What did Jesse and his wife do? They WAIVED THE REMAINDER OF MY FEE. Told me they knew the case broke me financially and would not accept the balance of the money owed to help me get on my feet. I am so grateful to them beyond words.

They not ONLY WON MY CASE AND GOT IT DISMISSED THEY ARE A PART OF SAVING MY LIFE AND RESTORING MY DIGNITY.

I would highly recommend you use their services as they are Excellent Attorney's and even better Human Being!

I had nothing short of a phenomenal experience from Scharff Law Firm! I contacted different law firms, regarding multiple felony charges I was facing & Jesse was head and shoulders above all others in consideration. He was both comforting & knowledgable in my initial consultation, and didn't give me false hope or promise anything, far as an outcome. What helped sell him the most, to me, was the fact that i didn't feel an ounce of pressure to hire him but still felt I got advised in the same regard of a paid client. I felt he had my best interest in mind, and my gut feeling proved true throughout the duration of my process. In every interaction I had with Amily and Reba, they were super helpful and kind as well. If you were looking for someone who's not going to sell you pipe dreams, and fight to get you the best outcome, I'D SHOUT IT FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP! JESSE IS YOUR GUY! Forever grateful to Jesse and his staff, may sound overstated but based on what I was facing, and the outcome of my circumstance, I feel my life/future was saved.

He went above and beyond my expectations and even fought to get me a better outcome then I originally thought was possible. Look no further then the Law Offices of Jesse Scharff.
My family and I would like to thank you for all that you’ve done.

Jesse Scharff (and the Scharff Law Firm) is amazing beyond belief!
To summarize – here are reasons you should hire Jesse Scharff without delay:
1. Jesse and Reba communicate well. This also goes for all the personnel in his office. Jesse and the Scharff Law firm do their best to answer your questions within 24 hours and they keep you informed through the whole process.
2. Jesse will not bullshit or sugarcoat you. He will be straightforward and let you know his thoughts and opinions about your case.
3. Jesse knows the Judges, the DA’s and all the people important in your case. He has the ability to spot weaknesses in the prosecution and the officers.
a. He will give you information to review – so you can review if you would like. In my case, I reviewed everything. I researched a ton and none of that mattered, because Jesse had it handled.
b. Jesse will also give you the standard information for you to do prior to your court case.
c. Do what he says. I finished all the classes, pre-work and community service before my first court case in preparation for the worst scenario.

Here are my reasons and why I say the above:

I hired Jesse for a DWI charge. He was a recommendation from a friend, whom in her case had a different attorney she fired, in order to hire Jesse. The Sunday morning after my arrest on Saturday, I called Jesse’s number, about an hour later, he called me and we spoke for about an hour. In this initial conversation, I was impressed; not only by what he had to say, but also because of his demeanor and the steps he took to outline what I should do next. Every time I met with Jesse, he was organized and on track.

Here is where Jesse’s experience and patience seals the deal. When the DA was arguing my case, she went after everything, my demeanor, and my character and she presented a few incorrect facts and made broad and unclear assumptions. Jesse leaned over to me and said, “All she is proving is that you were intoxicated” and that’s what she did. After about an hour and thirty minutes, the DA only proved that I was intoxicated and could did not prove that I was driving or that I was complicit in any illegal activity. Jesse got up and spoke for about three minutes to refute the evidence and said “Your Honor, we have no evidence my client was in the car, and much less driving.”

My case was dismissed and all charges dropped. My arrest and record were expunged and I have my life back.

The Scharff Law Firm is exactly what it is supposed to be. It’s not super fancy, glamorous or in a pretentious high rise building. It’s perfect for an honest, hardworking firm. Jesse speaks to you as his friend & ally - always showing up to court to walk you through the process.

Jesse and the Scharff Law firm charge a fair and honest fee and the charge is worth every single penny! Jesse sits down with you each time to give you instructions and his game plan. Follow all of his (and his firms’) instructions.

I refer everyone to Jesse and would not hesitate to use him again. I could not have asked for a better person to advocate on my behalf. I trust Jesse and the Scharff law firm and I thank them for all their efforts.

I would highly recommend Scharff Law Firm as they took care of me from day 1. They made me have high hopes and delivered results! Jesse was extremely down to earth to speak to and I was certainly able to feel more comfortable and confident speaking to someone who understands where I was coming from and the urgency my case needed.

I would highly recommend this firm. Jesse is caring, hard working, and honest. He worked his best to get my charges dismissed and supported me and my family during these hard times. He also worked extra without asking and without pay for further assistance that I needed once these charges were dropped. Thank you for protecting our family!

I am writing this note to highly recommend Attorney Jesse (Jess) Scharff.

Without getting into too many details, I was involved in a car accident, was arrested, and came away with 4 charges. Jess got 3 of them dismissed, and I came away with just court costs and a fine. There was a little bit of luck or good fortune concerning the sentence, but Jess did negotiate the three dismissals with the prosecutor before court. He was also the first attorney in the courtroom on the day of my sentencing.

Besides the legal issues, I liked Jess as a person, felt that he really did care for me, and he definitely had my back. You feel like you are in good hands, and he is going to protect you and your interests. Jess partners with his wife Reba (also an attorney), and they have a very homey office. This is not a traditional cold marble and glass operation.

I wouldn't expect every case to go as well as mine, but Jess did a great job for me.

I was referred to Jesse by a former client of his. He & his wife, Reba, are extremely professional and pleasant to work with. He made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. It is clear that Jesse is directly invested in his clients' best interest. In particular, Jesse explored multiple strategies and approaches to the case instead of just one "plan of attack," which increased efficacy during the proceedings. He knows the law very well without hesitation. Another stand-out point for Jesse & his firm is communication; face-to-face time with your lawyer. I overheard a lawyer say to a client on a trial date, "I haven't seen you in so long." while I had just met with my lawyer the previous week. My review could go on for a while, but you can absolutely trust that you could not be in better hands with Scharff Law Firm.

I have nothing positive things to say about my experience with Jesse. You can feel that he actually cares about your case and wants to be as helpful as possible. He knew exactly how to navigate the court room and ultimately got my charges dismissed. Can't recommend him enough.

Jesse is one of the hardest working professionals I have ever met in my life. It can be tough to balance a full time job and the time that comes along with the legal process, but Jesse is there to make it easy. Jesse is very well versed and understands the legal process and the steps to be successful. Jesse was able to represent me with integrity and passion. He cared about my situation and about me as a person. I would recommend Jesse to anyone who is looking for legal services. Jesse took the initiative to take care of the situation even when I was not available. I would highly recommend his firm’s services.

I can not say enough good things about Jesse Scharff and his law firm. When I first got my speeding ticket for going over 100 mph in Wake County, I was afraid and was very sure I was going to be fighting fines, suspensions and insurance points for the next several years. I immediately began calling lawyers. Some lawyers said they would not be able to do much for me, others refused to even represent me, and others said they would be able to get one of my charges dropped but not much after that. From the moment I called Jesse I knew he was different. Jesse gave me an exact game plan of what he could do to get me the best possible outcome and from that moment worked relentlessly on my behalf. Throughout the entire legal process Jesse kept me and my family at ease while also being realistic with my circumstance which built up my confidence and trust in his council. Not once did I ever feel a sense of judgement from Jesse for my stupid mistake and instead he truly saw me as an upright good kid and wanted the court room to know that as well. Jesse was not only trustworthy and friendly, but his price was completely fair and reasonable for what he was able to offer. In fact, other lawyers that cost more money were the ones that said they could not help me out past preventing my license from suspension. All in all, if you are looking for a lawyer in Wake County, look no further than Jesse Scharff. After being caught speeding over 100 MPH, Jesse was able to get me a PJC and I am walking away with no fines, no points on my license and nothing on my record. Do yourself and your family a favor and hire Jesse, he is worth far more than any amount it may cost to hire him.

Jesse is an absolutely INCREDIBLE lawyer, and person! I got in trouble with drugs and was facing felony charges. From the moment I met Jesse, my parents and I felt comfortable as he has a warm presence and provided optimism during a time of distress. Jesse was patient with myself, my parents, and the court systems, and my charges were dismissed within 7 months. Within a year, the charges were expunged off my record. Jesse kept us fully informed during the whole process, and it was obvious that he is well-liked in the courtroom. He is truly wonderful and I am so thankful for all of his help to get me through such a tough situation. I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed.

The Scharff Law Firm did a greatly job.

Throughout the entire process Jesse was very informative as well as calming and made us very confident of his ability to do exactly what he said he was going to do for me. Jesse eased our minds from the first conversation my husband had with him on the phone to the day in court which was invaluable.

At one of the most scariest times of my life the Scharff Lawn Firm came through for my husband and I and we can't thank them enough. At no point did I feel my attorney ever passed judgement. Jesse treated my husband and I with the utmost respect.

I would recommend Scharff Lawn Firm to anyone who is in need of a criminal defense attorney.
