Bankruptcy

I represent individual and small business debtors in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases in the Eastern District of North Carolina , including Wake, Franklin, Vance, Granville, Warren and Johnston Counties.  I offer competitive prices and a free first consultation for consumer debtors.  The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 has fundamentally changed the practice of bankruptcy law and created numerous potential pitfalls for bankruptcy debtors.  If you are considering bankruptcy you need an attorney who is knowledgeable about the new law.  I will work personally with you on your case and I will use my experience and know-how to help you remove the debt burdens that have been preventing you from moving forward.

Workers Compensation

I have successfully litigated numerous North Carolina Workers’ Compensation cases.  
I will take a denied case that has merit.  Workers Compensation is a no-fault system established by the state legislature to protect and reimburse workers who have been hurt on the job.  A worker is automatically entitled to certain compensation when he or she suffers from an accidental injury or occupational disease arising out of and in the course or scope of employment.  An injured worker is entitled to compensation for time lost at work, medical expenses, permanent loss of function to any body part and possibly lifetime compensation if the injury is serious. Your initial consultation is free. If we don’t win, there is no attorney’s fee.

Consumer Law

There are many state and federal laws which provide remedies for consumers in situations where they have been taken advantage of or treated unfairly. I handle cases involving consumer protection, unfair and deceptive trade practices, abusive collections practices, damage to credit history, arbitration, the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, and lemon law/automobile and home/mobile home warranty claims. 

Social Security Disability

I recognize that disability can strike any person or family unexpectedly. Whether you need assistance submitting your initial application or have already been denied benefits and need to prepare an appeal, I can help you navigate the complex Social Security Disability claims process.  I have represented claimants in many hearings before an Administrative Law Judge. Your initial consultation is free.  If we don’t win, there is no attorney’s fee.

Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

If you or someone you know has been injured because of another party’s negligence, you may feel uncomfortable about calling a lawyer.  You may not even be sure of what questions to ask.  I will take the time to listen to you and help evaluate your case at no cost to you.  If I represent you I will use my experience with insurance companies and the courts to maximize your recovery.  Your initial consultation is free.  If we don’t win, there is no attorney’s fee.
