Amanda Cannavo

Firm: Dozier Miller Law Groupd
301 S. McDowell Street , Charlotte , North Carolina 28204
Practice Areas: Family
My experience in family law has taught me that we all have a story and that no two stories are alike. We all face challenges and we make difficult decisions that often have a lasting impact on our family and ourselves as individuals. Each decision we make ultimately becomes part of our story. As a family law attorney, nothing is more rewarding than empowering individuals to make well-informed decisions that can positively affect their story.. Whether you are seeking the assistance of an attorney to start a family through adoption or surrogacy, or to end your marriage, it is paramount that you understand the laws before you make a decision. As an attorney, I feel it is my responsibility to educate you about how those laws may impact you and help guide your decision. Although you are responsible for making these difficult choices, I will assist you and guide you along your path so that you have clear expectations and set reachable goals.. For most, while the same laws will govern your decision-making, the way you reach your goals may not be the same. For some, we will negotiate our way to your goal. For others, we may need to employ a third party, such as a mediator, arbitrator or even a counselor, to reach the outcome you hope to achieve. Still others will enter into litigation to achieve resolution. Whichever path we take, as your attorney, I am committed to you every step of the way.  While no one can predict the future, inside or outside the courtroom, I can promise that you will not find another attorney or law firm that will be more dedicated, determined, and dependable than me and our team at Sodoma Law.

I began my career at the Mecklenburg County District Attorney's Office.  As a prosecutor,  I handled thousands of cases.  But during that time, I realized my true passion lies with family law.  I'm a zealous advocate both in the courtroom, as well as in negotiations.  This is one of the most stressful times in one's life and I make it a point to approach each case with the compassion it deserves.

Joshua Goodman

Firm: Fisher Law Group PLLC
301 S. McDowell St. , Charlotte , North Carolina 28204
Practice Areas: Family
Growing up in Charlotte, North Carolina I learned to focus my energy on finding a solution rather than worrying about the problem. This mindset inevitably led me to my profession as an attorney.. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a business degree in Economics. I immediately began work in the financial field helping people navigate the world of small business loans. The following year I received the Fourth Ward Scholarship to attend Charlotte School of Law. While attending Charlotte School of Law I had the opportunity to gain valuable experience through internships with the Mecklenburg County Public Defender’s Office, the Law Offices of C. Reid Beaver, and Legal Aid of North Carolina.. Upon graduating from Charlotte School of Law and passing the North Carolina State Bar Exam, Nicki Fisher and I began working together. We started Fisher Law Group with the goal to create a law firm that focused on the clients in and out of the courtroom. I have limited my representation to Family Law, Juvenile Law, and Criminal Law. This allows me to consistently partner with my clients to ensure that we focus on solutions instead of the problems.

Fatina Lorick

130 N. McDowell Street, Suite D , Charlotte , North Carolina 28204
Practice Areas: Family
Fatina’s area of expertise is family law. Ironically, she did not always know that she wanted to be an attorney. She began her career as a social worker because she knew that she wanted to make a positive change in the world. As time progressed, she realized that the best way to change the world was to help children and families. Although she enjoyed her prior career, she felt that there was something else for her. She desired to make a larger impact in the lives of children and families. She knew that as an attorney she could continue to be an advocate for children and families by providing legal representation to family law clients.. In addition to family law cases, Fatina has experience handling cases involving real property disputes, domestic violence, and cases involving restraining orders.  Fatina also has experience with real estate closings. She is not a stranger to the courtroom. As such, she spends a great deal of her time in court advocating for her clients at least once a week and sometimes multiple times a week. In line with her passion for children and families, Fatina has experience with Mecklenburg County Guardian Ad Litem. Specifically, Fatina provided legal representation for abused, neglected, and dependent children. However, she received a large amount of her litigation experience through taking on clients in the NCCU Clinical Legal Education Program's Family Law Clinic. Fatina enjoys being in the courtroom, and she takes the utmost care and attention to detail when handling her cases.. Fatina enjoys giving back to her community through volunteering with her church, Sugar Creek Church of Christ. She created a ministry with other lawyers in her congregation called Lawyers Inspired by God’s Heartfelt Truth (LIGHT Ministry). The lawyers within the LIGHT Ministry provide pro bono legal services and educational workshops within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community.

Emily Bretz

Firm: Bretz Law, PLLC
1300 Baxter Street , Charlotte , North Carolina 28204
Practice Areas: Family
I am an attorney in Charlotte, North Carolina, and I have extensive experience in litigation, specifically family law, domestic cases, and criminal defense. At Soto Law, my focus is on family law matters such asAdoption, Guardianship, Legitimation, Child Custody, Child Support, Equitable Distribution, Post-Separation Support, and Alimony. However, at Soto Law, we also believe in the importance of educating our clients prior to marriage. Therefore, we offer our clients a pre-marital assessment so that they, and their significant other, can be well-versed in the decision they are making and the financial ramifications of the same. In addition to family law matters, I am also well-versed in estate planning and real estate. As such, I am uniquely qualified and able to tackle my clients' issues.. After my admission to the North Carolina Bar Association in 2012, I  practiced criminal defense. During that time, I gained extensive trial and courtroom experience. However, my desire to assist those in the family law sector drew me away from criminal law. I am motivated to advocate for my clients and provide the support that is often needed when going through such a life-changing situation such as divorce.. Although not a native North Carolinian, I am proud to now call Charlotte my home and use my passion for the law to assist my clients. When not practicing law, I enjpy spending time with my family, exploring local restaurants and breweries, traveling, and watching the Florida State Seminoles and Carolina Panthers play. If you or someone you know has a family law issuse, please call my office and I would be happy to assist you through this difficult time.
