We’ve resolved medical negligence cases through trials and negotiated settlements all across North Carolina. We work with local, regional and national board-certified doctors to serve as expert witnesses. We also work with life-care planners, economists, bio-medical engineers, pharmacologists and other professionals, so that we can prepare the best possible case on your behalf.
And – just as important to us – we stand with you even after the case has been concluded, to ensure that the lifelong needs of you and your family are adequately taken care of by any settlement or verdict.

After our experts have reviewed the medical record, and have determined how and why the injury or death occurred, we can help you decide if it’s in your best interest to bring legal action. No medical malpractice suit should be filed without careful, thorough evaluation. We do not file frivolous lawsuits.
