I was in a minor hit and run accident a few days ago and reached out to Auger & Auger on their website. Was contacted quickly the next morning and was able to speak directly with Herb Auger. He spent a good 15-20 minutes with me on the phone, thoroughly explaining what my options were and how best to proceed given my circumstances. He went above and beyond. Absolutely fantastic service!
Highly recommend his firm to anyone in need!
We need more human beings in this world like Herb Auger.

Everyone at this office goes above and beyond to not only put your mind at ease but to have your back in your decisions. I met with the team initially in person for my consult and knew right away they were who I wanted to represent me - I felt confident they would have my best interest in mind, they would support whatever decisions I made and make sure I was fully informed of the outcome those decisions would entail, and they answered my gazillion emails in a timely fashion. The team helped me finalize my separation and I will be reaching out again when the time comes for official divorce. If you are looking for an amazing lawyer to represent you, you will not find anyone better than piedmont eastern litigation! Thank you Cody, Michelle and Demetris!!

Excellent representation, with empathy, compassion, and ethical professional services. I highly recommend this firm. Cody Boykin Moss, with his uplifting and attentive mind set, truly makes the process of any legal matter, easer! His outstanding ability to focus on facts and attentiveness, is impressive and valuable. I have had representation that ended up costing a ridiculous amount of money, being charged hourly, having to reiterate my case over and over again; still ending without a fair resolution. I give Cody and the firm he is with 5 stars for having empathy as well as ethics.

First of all, I want to thank this amazing Law firm! Farmer & Morris my Lawyer Andrea Farmer and her legal assistant Katrina Whitbeck for taking me under their wing with my Disability case.
I Highly recommend this firm.
The day I met Katrina, I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect.
Right off I felt so at ease with her. She was so patient and kind with me. She told me she was a phone call away, for any questions anytime. And she was!
My Disability was approved. And I can honestly say. I couldn’t have done it without them!
Thanks so much!

I recently obtained personal services from Farmer and Morris Law (Gabrielle Valentine), and I could not have been more pleased with the service. I would characterize Ms. Valentine's services as professional, empathetic, timely, and creative. She was very knowledgeable and worked extremely hard to meet my needs and answer my questions in a time-sensitive situation. She was patient and understanding. I would recommend her without hesitation, and I will certainly use her again as future needs arise.

I made the right choice when I decided to use Metha and McConnell for worker's comp claim. McConnell made sure he understood my situation and my concerns when my previous job didn't take me seriously when I was injured. He let my voice be heard and addressed the issue in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to use their services if they're unsure who to turn to for help.
I guarantee you won't regret your decision to have this law firm on your side. They have the best communication and professionalism from the staff members as well. Lastly, they also gifted me a tumbler (it's very cute and durable with a ink pen) afterward.
If I ever needed assistance for worker's comp again, I know McConnell is my go-to lawyer.

Nothing but great things to say about Darrin Gamradt and his assistant. They responded very quickly to my emails and phone calls. I reached out to them for a speeding ticket on 85 S and was very pleased with what I ended up with - a non moving violation. The reason why I chose him over other Cabarrus county law offices was because of the quick response I got when I reached out to them. Thank you Mr. Gamradt and Lauren!

Kristin was incredibly thorough with all information and documentation for my separation. She made sure that I understood everything that I was agreeing to, and made sure that she had all the necessary facts. She also helped me keep perspective while going through such an emotional event. There were times that my emotions made me want to ask for things out of spite from my ex-husband, and she was always very calm and clear about what was fair, realistic, and financially worth fighting for, without letting my husband or his attorney take advantage of me. I can honestly say she made the entire experience as pleasant as it could possibly be - some days I think she made as great a therapist as an attorney! I trust her implicitly, and I know that at all times she was looking out for my best interests, not just hers. Of course, results also speak volumes about an attorney's abilities and I can say that at the end of the proceedings I left my marriage with full ownership of the house, all savings accounts, retirement accounts, a paid-off car, and our dogs. In the end, I felt that the final agreement was more than fair in my favor, and that is due entirely to Kristin. I feel that I was very well represented and I don't think I could have had a more pleasant experience or a more beneficial outcome from anyone else.

Missy & Megan came through in true time of need. Missy was referred to me through a friend, and I am so glad I went with her. Missy was informative about my divorce, emergency custody and custody. Megan was able to represent me in court and came prepared with all the documents needed to present to the judge. I never had to second guess any work, and they always kept me up to date on any upcoming court dates or rulings we received. I even called in for minor questions and Megan was always available to quickly answer. Megan, Missy and Lisa are a great team! I truly appreciate them.

I was in a car accident and contacted SeiferFlatow attorneys. They immediately had their Case Manager Todd contact me. Todd walked me through the whole process and kept me informed throughout the process. Adam Seifer also made phone calls to insurance companies and kept me up to date. The whole experience was easy and professional. My case was handled swiftly and within a very short time was settled. I highly recommend SeiferFlatow.

Mr Bill is an EXCELLENT attorney. He has great customer service - responds to texts, phone calls and emails promptly. Bill makes you feel like he hears your situation and will do all that he can to help you.
i called bill on 7/5 - though i had a court date on 7/7. I was nervous that it was so short notice he wouldn't be able to help me. not only was Bill able to help me, he had one of the issues dismissed and another down to the lowest form. I not only saved myself having to pay a fine as well as court costs as well as this bleeding into other areas of my life - which could affect my job - now i just paid bills fee and the court cost and i can forget this happened to me. i couldn't pull out my wallet fast enough!!!
long story short - bill is awesome and trustworthy. don't call the people who send you letters in the mail for tickets. Call Bill Causey.
if your reading this - thanks Mr Bill, you are the best!

Mr. Causey was an ideal attorney. I hired him to help a family member who lives in North Carolina, and I honestly wasn't expecting a whole lot because I am out of state. I felt like since I was not local I could easily be ignored. Not so! Mr. Causey was informative and patient, and kept me abreast every step of the way. Did absolutely everything he said he'd do, flawlessly. I would recommend.

Absolute Scam and Unprofessional Behavior
Jeremy,
I hired you to help with a bogus speeding ticket, where I have clear dash cam footage showing my speed, location, and the officer’s actions before and after the stop. The officer claimed I was going 80 in a 45, wrote the wrong location of the stop, and the speed limit on that road was actually 55. My speedometer was at 61, clearly shown on the dash cam. Yet, you had the nerve to tell me you could “maybe” reduce the ticket to a 14-over, despite knowing the entire ticket was a joke.
After this ridiculous introduction, I called the very next day—over a month before the court date—and requested a refund. Your desk lady assured me I’d get a full refund. But today, I get a call telling me the case was continued (even though I fired you), and now you’re only offering half of my payment back because you “spent 20 minutes” on my case? That’s a load of crap.
Then, to top it off you have the audacity to threaten me with legal action if I dispute this scam through my bank. You’re not even competent enough to handle a simple case like this and now you’re acting like a crook. I honestly feel bad for your firm that you’re so desperate for this money, but I’ll be sure to keep on sharing my experience the community.
Keep the half—you clearly need it more than I do.
Shameful.

Jay White is an increadible attorney with 30 plus years of experience, which is one of the traits to a great attorney. I initially went with a popular online law firm that specializes in tickets… and they were too green in handling a case like mine. The benefits of using an attorney like Mr. White is his years of experience, and he personally looks at your case and takes an approach based off that case and not out to make a quick buck and put it on the pipeline. Jay White proved his swift and efficient representation, which is what you expect from a high caliber attorney. He has a very efficient, honest, and transparent team that comes along with his representation. I do not live in NC but that wasn’t a problem, he took care of everything and I am incredibly satisfied with the outcome of my case. Consider Jay White for your next representation you are in good hands.

I can’t fully express how incredible my experience with Santiago and his team has been. From start to finish, Santiago was not only a brilliant lawyer but also an incredibly kind and understanding person. Throughout the entire process, he made me feel validated, listened to, and supported. He explained every step of the way, ensuring I always understood what was happening, and made me feel like I was in the best possible hands. Santiago truly became the best advocate I could have ever asked for—dedicated, patient, and always looking out for my best interests.
I also would like to mention Joe Budd, who was the first to respond when I initially reached out to the firm. He got back to me the same day, listened attentively, and reassured me when I was doubting my own experience. His support and encouragement made a world of difference in helping me move forward confidently.
Words can’t fully convey how thankful I am for Santiago's dedication. If you’re looking for a genuine and caring lawyer to represent you and simplify the overwhelming legal process, this is the team you need!

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.

- 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.
