Currently in a lawsuit with this company representing the other party, not sure if they read the accident report but I'm sure this firm encouraged their client to lie based on claims they made that aren’t matching up to the accident report. When I spoke to Mrs.Rameriez to see why after being paid out by my insurance they’re trying to claim more I was met with hostility. Already spoke to my insurance who verified all payouts have been paid & documents have been signed. Very interesting & will be counter suing her & her client for fraudulent claims. Sad to see people abusing the system and this law firm encouraging it.

I highly recommend Kevin Ginsberg. I spoke with him at length about a claim for an auto accident, and he took the time to help me understand in detail how these cases work, what we could (and could not) recover, and offered several avenues to proceed. Because the claim was so straightforward, Kevin provided me with the information I needed to be confident in settling it on my own. The case ultimately settled exactly as Kevin suggested it would with a fair and reasonable settlement. I greatly appreciate his clear and straightforward guidance. It helps that Kevin came highly recommended to me by a law firm my family has worked with for years. They always steer us right and definitely did so in sending us to Kevin Ginsberg. Highly recommend.

I was referred to Mr. Ross by another attorney I know in Greensboro. I left a message for him to call me. He returned the call within TWO HOURS, he listened patiently and was extremely polite and empathetic. I needed information to see if I immediately needed an attorney and he could have taken advantage of my fear. Instead he was calm reassuring and told me wait until things developed and call him back. He gave me some advice in the interim as well. He was a total gentleman, already I highly recommend him and feel sure he will be a great attorney

I hired Howard to represent me in a traffic case in Durham County. The initial charge was G.S. 20-141(j1), and we were able to enter a plea of responsible to G.S. 20-123.2 (improper equipment) with no required conditions. This is the best possible outcome for a speeding ticket in NC, as it is a non-moving infraction that has no insurance impact, no points, and no per-policy limits or out-of-state issues like a PJC.
Howard was able to effectively present my case, clean driving record, and letter to the court to the DA's office to obtain this plea deal. It is essential to have a lawyer who knows the local DAs and is willing to put in the time to continue the case to a date with the most favorable DA/district judge. Howard was able to obtain an improper equipment in my case even though it was outside of the usual guidelines for this county, and without a requirement of traffic school. Despite staffing changes in the DA's office, Howard was able to adapt and get a strong deal even with a brand new DA.
Howard appeared around four times in court all for a flat fee that was about equal to the cost of the ticket. It took about five months in total to resolve the case, and I did not have to appear in court at all. Most speeding tickets are going to cost $250-350 in fines/costs. The question is what will happen to your driving record and insurance rates. That is where paying Howard a few hundred dollars is well worth it. Defense lawyers know the DAs and they have a professional rapport with them. I thought about going to court myself, but even though I had a good idea of the laws, I wouldn't have known the people and procedures to expect in this county. Howard knows exactly what to expect and how to best present the case to the DAs.
Howard never routes calls or texts to a secretary--some of the lawyers I contacted, and many that sent advertisements in the mail, did not even let you talk to a lawyer before hiring them. Howard gave a lengthy phone consultation at no charge and was in no hurry. Howard will ask to see your citation and driving record before giving a flat fee quote for the case. If available for your case, you'll also have to fill out a waiver of appearance form if you do not want to appear in court each time yourself.
I actually found Howard by chance by looking at the bar directory, and he was a bit surprised as he does not do any advertising. If you've come across this listing I would definitely recommend giving him a call. I think it's best to call a few different lawyers as I did, and choose who you feel most comfortable trusting your case with. Cross out anyone who doesn't give a real consultation or pushes you to decide right away. Whatever you decide to do, Howard will give you a consultation and put you at ease regarding your case. As a local college student, Howard provided a service that was affordable to me and well worth the money.

I chose this firm after being involved in a car accident that was no fault of my own due to the fact the Mike had previous law enforcement experience. While everyone at the firm was always friendly and helpful, Naomi was the best of the bunch! She is truly thoughtful and caring. While my case might not have been the most elaborate or in depth, she always fought for and treated me as if I was the most important and only client she was representing. Her compassion and knowledge are just two qualities that make her such a wonderful person and lawyer to have on your side during a lawsuit.

I am a real estate professional who retained Jason Campbell with great success to handle a significant DOT taking in the past affecting my business. He looked past what was happening on that property to see how the taking from the larger shopping center would affect my building. I called him to discuss a current condemnation issue and he gave me clear and succinct advice. I would recommend him highly.

Shayla Richberg is very knowledgeable and professional. She has truly been a blessing throughout my ongoing legal matter. She has gone above and beyond countless times doing extensive research and timely filing of notices, briefs, pleadings, etc. Shayla is very thorough and continues to keep me updated every step of the way. She has given me numerous credits which have in turn helped me cover my financial responsibility. Shayla is always fully prepared for her hearings and utilizes her legal expertise to prove her case presenting the facts while applying the law. I’m thankful that Shayla is handling my case and will not hesitate to contact her for any legal issues in the future.

Since hiring Leto Copely and team, we have not only not regretted it, but we know each day how lucky we were to find her!
In addition to Mrs. Copley’s educational experience and numerous accolades for her work over the years, she is also the advocate you want on your side if you ever find yourself or a loved one in an unimaginable situation. Another thing that was a pleasant surprise after meeting and hiring Leto is that she has a team of paralegals and assistant attorneys that are second to none. When you are the best, you attract the best team around. The reason the entire team is so important is that it’s not just Leto herself who is responsive, compassionate, patient, intellectually unparalleled, and to top that off the most kick-butt attorney (think pit bull with a smile) out there, but she is surrounded by those with the same qualities.
I can’t tell you how devastating our personal situation has been for our entire family. You would think that we would dread the legal side, but with Leto Copely’s firm, it’s the opposite. Every interaction we have with Leto and team, we feel built up again, not drained. Finally, we can sleep again at night and take care of our family knowing they are in our corner as advocates, a support system, and the most strategically brilliant team out there!
My step mother and sister and both attorneys from Ivy League schools, and they too believe Leto and team are the best we could have hired. That to me said it all!
So far, every step of the way, that has proven to be unfailingly true.
So, if you want an attorney who has a passion for what they do, is highly intelligent - both intellectually and emotionally - with a team of the best, who get results, and who does this work in a quiet way that doesn’t expose your family situation to the press... this is your firm!!
Don’t think twice. I have never had one moment where I second-guessed my decision, and we interviewed at least 10 firms.
Good luck in your search, but if I were you, I’d know my search is over, and call Leto today!

Leaving St. Thomas More Church in Chapel Hill I was unaware of the posted speed. I received a citation, was to appear in court two months later. I was unable to attend, I live Cape Cod Massachusetts. The citation caught up to me two years later, on the renewal of my Massachusetts driving license... I contacted Attorney Goldston. He returned my email promptly and reassured me not to worry. Not only did he reduce my speeding violation, he stop my suspension. Thank you Attorney Goldston for your professionalism.

I hired Mr. Goldston based on the information on his website and a short telephone interview for a traffic violation. Note that I am experienced in hiring lawyers for personal, business, and real estate dealings. I also have two immediate family members that are lawyers in Atlanta.
Mr Goldston has my highest possible praise for the way in which he: (1) Handled my case. (2): Conducts the business affairs of his law office. (3): Responsiveness of his communications with me as his client.
I will positively hire Mr Goldston in the future if I have the need for an attorney in Durham.

I've known Jeff for over 8 years and he has handled both professional and private matters for me during that time. Jeff helped me incorporate my business, I chose him to represent a family member in a DUI/DWI case and he represented me in a mediation settlement. In each situation Jeff has handled himself in a courteous and professional manner and the results have all been more than satisfactory. I would not hesitate to use him again for any legal matter.

Faith represented me in an employment law claim against my former employer. Through her expertise, intelligence and diligence I won a very fair settlement.
Right from our first meeting I was impressed and my confidence in her continued to grow as we worked together. She's very honest, direct and all about doing what is right. She is also thorough in her questioning and takes lots of notes. In addition to her own legal expertise, I benefited from a network of other legal experts with whom she consulted to ensure all bases were always covered.
Faith is a disciplined thinker, which she displayed in an amazing document she crafted outlining the facts of my case, the relevant legal principles (e.g., Title VII, FLSA), the strength of our position and the corresponding weaknesses of their position. I'm confident that Faith's expertise in framing the case and the likely averse outcomes for my former employer should this matter go to trial resulted in them presenting us with a favorable settlement.
Along with her work ethic and expertise, Faith's kindness, compassion and consultations with me were so reassuring throughout this challenging situation. I recommend Faith to anyone who needs a truly great employment law attorney.

I paid Bourlon and Davis $5,000 to handle communication in a private matter for me, and they have done nothing. They are now refusing to refund my money.
These are the kinds of lawyers that give lawyers a bad name. Camilla Davis has been censured by the NC state bar for lying. I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg and that there are many disgruntled customers out there.

I hired Camilla to help with my divorce and child custody. I was left unsatisfied, misinformed, misled, and broke. Camilla frequently missed court appearances, yet still charged me. My case never even made it in front of the judge as I was told I didn't have enough money to continue and I needed to settle. After speaking with others, I was told how unprofessionally she handled my case. I'm now having to find a new lawyer and I'm starting over with my custody hearing. I did not feel I was properly represented and my voice was never heard. I am deeply saddened and heartbroken over how the case has turned out and my goal is to help others avoid what I went through. She eventually stopped answering my questions or even helping me. She only calls when it's time to pay my bill. I never received notification that she was no longer representing me. One day she just stopped returning my calls and emails. Do research before choosing Camilla.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
