C. Jeffrey Horsley – Principal

Jeff is a honors graduate of Ohio University majoring in Finance/Management. Upon graduation, Jeff worked for a large midwestern bank gaining valuable corporate experience. During this period, Jeff accumulated extensive knowledge with regards to lending, regulatory compliance, retirement, and investment tools in order to preserve, acquire, and accumulate wealth for his clients.
Jeff relocated to North Carolina in 1997 and chose to attend Campbell University School of Law. Jeff was presented with various opportunities upon graduation from Campbell. However, he chose to take the road less traveled and work with small practices during the first part of his career with the expectation of starting his own practice. That expectation came to reality in 2005. Now, with 18 years of experience of practice, he has had the opportunity to be exposed to and gain a wide array of experience in a variety of practice areas. Having this exposure is a compliment to the practice.
Jeff’s practice includes an extensive focus on commercial and residential real estate transactions, leases, as well drafting and negotiating contracts for real estate acquisition and sale. Jeff represents buyers and sellers, homebuilders, banks, real estate brokers, landlords and tenants.
Jeff has extensive experience in all aspects of real estate transactions and handles a wide variety of real estate matters including foreclosure defense, eviction proceedings and defense, partition actions, boundary disputes, homeowner’s association disputes, title defect resolution, and routinely advises real estate agents and brokers. Jeff has acted as counsel for buyers and homeowners in excess of 5,000 real estate transactions. 
In addition to real estate, yet tangentially related, Jeff routinely counsels clients on the formation of corporate entities for ownership of real estate, and the representation of various lenders, real estate developers, landlords and tenants in the formation of those entities.
Jeff’s practices areas routinely intertwine with estate matters such as estate administration and planning. It is not uncommon for Jeff’s clients to seek advice and counsel on their real estate needs, and in turn, counsel on estate planning, gifting, and estate matters which may confront the respective clients.
Often in estate administration, real estate practice, contract disputes and land acquisition and sale, litigation is necessary. Jeff is no stranger to the courtroom representing parties in a myriad of disputes which arise from those practice areas.
