Caitlin Walton worked so very diligently on my case. While fighting for justice to be served, she also was there for me on a personal level. I had 100% confidence in her ability. She kept me informed throughout the process, as well as, included me in the decision making. I highly recommend Caitlin!

I had a great experience with John Daniel and I would highly recommend him.

Essex Richards not only provides excellent legal services they truly care about your well being. We retained their services during a very difficult time and was well represented. They also cared about seeing the best results with the least emotional and financial impact. Essex Richards was truly a God send and blessing to us.

Extremely satisfied with the firm. Very professional and highly competent.

I cannot recommend Rob Blair and his staff enough. They exuded positivity and professionalism in every interaction. Rob's advice was excellent and also measured, which I very much appreciated, and I felt confident that we were on the right course every step of the way. He and his staff were prompt and attentive to details and I felt very supported during what was a difficult process. Most importantly, I felt that Rob really took the time to know exactly where I was coming from and provided strong representation and advocacy while respecting the type of tone I wished to strike. I would recommend him to anyone needing a family lawyer for any reason.

Extremely pleased with all the professionals at Essex Richards! My husband was denied long term disability by the insurance company from his former employer. Norris Adams and his team went out of their way to understand our problem and put together an appeal package that reversed the insurance company decision immediately. His team's efforts resulted in an indescribable positive impact on our family. Now our future doesn't look so bleak. Thank you Norris and Tona!

Heather and Cindy are a phenomenal team. I 100% recommend them.

Approximately two years ago my wife lost her job of over 30 years due to a disability. We tried to resolve this issue ourselves with her employer, hoping that they would be fair and do the right thing. We found out quickly that her employer and the insurance company they use to handle such matters were not interested in doing the right thing. Fortunately for us, we found Norris Adams and his wonderful staff at the Essex Richards Law Firm. During our first meeting with Norris he listened to our ramblings and despair. He was calm, understanding and patient. He was also very honest with us. Norris let us know that employment law was complicated and not always written with the employee's best interest in mind. But he also told us that he felt like he could help us. He told us we would need to be patient because these types of cases can take a long time to be resolved. Norris never made any promises but he did give us hope and we left his office with a sense of calm. During the almost two years that we fought this battle, Norris and his staff kept us informed of everything that was happening. There were a few times when we thought about throwing in the towel, but Norris convinced us to stay the course. We are so glad we did because my wife was approved for the long term disability benefits that she deserves. To anyone who finds themselves in need of legal assistance dealing with employment/disability issues, we highly recommend Norris Adams and the staff at the Essex Richards Law Firm.

Norris Adams is a rock star: the epitome of an attorney you want representing you. A credit to the legal profession, Norris represented me with the thorough research, diligence, and intelligence for which the case called, and there was something else as well... Never expecting to find myself in a dispute with my long term, admired employer, I approached Norris with more than just the facts, but also with a sense of betrayal. His compassion was evident as he advised and skillfully led me through the iterations of stating our case, making our request, and successful mediation which left me feeling more charitable towards my employer solely by virtue of his hard work on my behalf. I have tremendous gratitude for Norris Adams’ representation and am confident that you, too, will benefit from his hard work, intelligence, negotiation skills, and common sense.

In choosing an advisor to support me in my divorce proceeding it was critical to me that I not only have a rock solid advocate, but also a high integrity, balanced partner who would not take a predatory or adversarial tone and in so doing make an already emotional situation unnecessarily toxic or damaging for those involved (including the kids). Rob is a master at calmly diffusing the most stressful situation, tirelessly pushing for the most fair and unbiased outcome and navigating the complicated minefield of a divorce proceeding in a way that leaves everyone feeling well taken care of at the end. Even now, more than 6 years after our process I continue to rely on Rob for support and advice, and count him as one of my most trusted advisors.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Norris Adams a number of times. He assisted us with several legal issues over the last number of years. Norris is a very professional lawyer who shows compassion for his clients. He is trustworthy, hardworking and always fights for what is right. We highly recommend Norris Adams! He's a great lawyer and a great person, as well.

If we ever have a legal problem, we want attorney Norris Adams from the firm of Essex Richards in Charlotte and his winning legal team by our side and you should want them too! My wife suffers from mental disorders. The company she worked for began covering her disability benefits then stopped. I had no idea what to do. I tried to get help from one attorney but it did not work out. I began to panic because I was running out of time to get help. Then through a miracle I was referred to attorney Norris Adams. As a mental health care giver, I am on a roller coaster that is constantly moving so fast. Anyone who knows a family member suffering with mental disorders understands just how difficult the roller coaster can be. So I was relieved when in a heartbeat Mr. Adams came to us. He met us at a doctor’s office in a safe space where my wife was comfortable meeting a new face. In record time, Mr. Adams and his team went above and beyond to get my wife’s disability benefits reinstated. Through Mr. Adams and his legal team’s diligence, excellence, and hard work putting together a lot of medical documents in a very short time, we won! She now affectionately calls Mr. Adams “A Protector.” Our family is so grateful that we can now provide for her with the care and dignity she deserves. Win or lose, attorney Norris Adams and the Essex Richards’ legal team are exceptional! Thank you a million times. Dennis Tinto
