McIlveen Family Law Firm

What McIlveen Family Law Firm does

McIlveen Family Law Firm is a North Carolina-based professional services firm specializing exclusively in family law, serving individual consumers and families navigating divorce, separation, and related personal transitions. The firm operates from three offices — Gastonia, Charlotte, and Raleigh — covering Gaston County, Mecklenburg County, and the greater Research Triangle, and serves clients statewide through in-person, phone, and Zoom consultations. Its service portfolio spans the full family law practice area: divorce (absolute, contested, uncontested, same-sex), child custody and support, alimony, equitable distribution, adoption, mediation, prenuptial and separation agreements, domestic violence protection orders, grandparents' rights, wills and estate planning. Specialized offerings include high net worth divorce, collaborative divorce, family law arbitration under the NC Family Law Arbitration Act, alienation of affection, and bankruptcy-family law intersection matters. The firm employs licensed attorneys in both North and South Carolina and is supported by N.C. certified paralegals.

The firm's underlying technology stack consists of standard law practice management software, document management systems, electronic document sharing, and e-signature capabilities — there is no proprietary technology platform. Differentiated client-facing digital tools include an NC Child Support Calculator and an Alimony Calculator (both with PDF download), a free downloadable North Carolina Divorce Guidebook, and a Video Education Library covering divorce and family law topics. Revenue is generated entirely through professional legal services fees billed to individual clients on a fee-for-service basis (hourly billing in standard .10 or .25 increments); the firm does not publish fee schedules and directs prospects to consultations for quotes. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by content marketing (blog, video library, downloadable guides), organic SEO for family law terms in North Carolina, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, X), client testimonials, and referrals from peer attorneys. The firm is privately held, operating as a Professional Limited Liability Company (McIlveen, PLLC) registered in North Carolina, owned and controlled by co-founders Angela McIlveen and Sean McIlveen with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
