Founded in 2009, Jetton & Meredith is a Charlotte divorce attorney team based in Uptown, a short walk from the Mecklenburg County courthouse. Eleven attorneys cover family law, criminal defense, personal injury, and wills.
The firm takes cases in Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Iredell, and Gaston counties, with branch offices in Concord and Monroe. Partner Erika Angles is a certified parenting coordinator, which helps in high-conflict custody files.
Consultations are available on evenings and weekends. Staff members speak Spanish.
Your Partner in Divorce is the registered tagline, and the firm builds everything around it. Melone Hatley handles divorce, custody, support, and estate planning across Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas.
More than 40 attorneys work under managing partner Rebecca Melone and CEO Charles D. Hatley. Each client gets a Client Concierge alongside the lawyer, plus free guides and state-by-state child support calculators.
The firm made the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies and won a 2026 Best of South Carolina award in the family law category. Consultations are free.
Amber Billick and Bill Rogers are both certified Family Financial Settlement Mediators through the North Carolina State Bar. That credential counts in equitable distribution disputes, where a mediator can settle what would otherwise sit on a court docket for months.
Their Concord practice covers separation agreements, custody and visitation, property division, and spousal support. High-asset splits and hidden-asset cases get particular attention.
The two attorneys serve families throughout Cabarrus County, just northeast of the Charlotte city line.

Consultations happen by phone, video, or in person by appointment.
Few family lawyers pick a side this openly. Jana K. Jones is a divorce lawyer in Charlotte whose practice centers on fathers navigating custody, support, and property division.
A Charlotte native and East Mecklenburg High graduate, Jones earned her law degree at North Carolina Central University and practices exclusively in Mecklenburg County. She hosts the Advocating for Dads podcast and charges flat fees, so clients see the price before they sign.
The office also drafts wills and trusts, and the team speaks Spanish.
