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

Stop looking. Today is your lucky day. If you are in need for the best, you have succeeded! Norris Adams and team took on my case and won after a long battle, appeal after appeal all the way to the 4th circuit court. It took years but I did not have to do a thing except not worry and leave it all in their capable hands. I cannot say enough about Mr. Adams’s knowledge of law and the court system, exceptional litigating skills and kind personality. He not only attained a financial victory for us but stopped my insurance company from committing another injustice. Insurance companies, watch out. With Norris Adams on your side you will have the best and will bless the day he accepted your case.

I was deemed disabled in 2010, a couple years in, the disability company refused to pay on claim (that I paid for while employed). I talked to several attorneys and was unable to find anyone to assist me with a claim. I contacted Noris Adams and was pleasantly surprised when he was happy to assist me with my claim. His team was exceptional, responding promptly to any questions and taking the time I needed to understand. Since then, the disability company has paid in full on the claim. I am forever grateful to Norris and his team for their expertise and compassion. I could not recommend them enough! Thank you, Victoria Pressley Charlotte, NC

My wife and I were caught is a very strange financial situation which required professional help. Our son was to go through a very extensive jaw surgery from a growth disorder, and our insurance carrier was being difficult in agreeing to cover that major procedure. We were not able to get prior approval in time and had to pay out of pocket for the surgery which should have been covered by our health insurance carrier from the beginning under our plan. With no place to turn, we contacted our local legal firm to seek advice on what to do, as we were not able to cover this bill and felt our health coverage should have. Our local attorneys, Sugg, Summrell, Carmichael, Hicks & Hart looked into the matter. They thought it be best to refer this case to a firm that specializes in this type of litigation. They referred us to Norris Adams, Essex Richards PA in Charlotte. We quickly made contact with Norris and his team in Charlotte, N.C. who reviewed and accepted our case. Their team worked diligently for us over several months and kept us fully informed after each communication with the carrier. With much determination, in the end, he was successful and won the case against our carrier through mediation and the claim was eventually paid by our health insurance carrier. What a relief it was to my family from a financial standpoint, and also a moral standpoint in knowing that our health care company could not just choose not honor our paid plan by creating an overflow of red tape and duplication of records from various doctors. Without providing the detail in dollars, we were happy with the full settlement from the carrier which was 6 to 7 times the fee for legal service from Norris Adams. We all felt that the legal services were VERY reasonable and fair for the amount work they provided to us. We have recommended Norris Adams to several people in our area since that time and will use him again if need be.

There is absolutely nothing good about divorce and the entire divorce process. It is emotionally charged and often confusing. Rob Blair was the calm in the storm!! He is extremely competent in navigating North Carolina family law as well as navigating the pitfalls and land mines that are undoubtedly ahead. He works really well with the spouses attorney and his staff is friendly, responsive and efficient...no wasted time or money!! Thanks Rob, I am not sure I would have survived that process as well as I did!!! Tom

Rob Blair and his team, Becky, Sue and Lauren, were phenomenal. As a lawyer, Rob is exceptional. As a lawyer who acts as a friend and a guide through the darkest days of this unfair system, Rob was beyond excellent, a shoulder to cry on and a good man to lean on. Mediation based and resolution oriented, Rob can handle the nastiest opposition (my ex-wife had them!) and bring peace to the war. Thank you with all my heart Rob, Becky, Sue and Lauren.

One word: PHENOMENAL! Heather and Cindy are two of the most efficient, knowledgeable, productive attorney/paralegal duo I have ever met. Going into bankruptcy I had a lot of reservations and fear, but due to Heather's vast body of legal knowledge I felt relief and security. Filing for bankruptcy is one of the scariest, embarrassing, frustrating experiences an adult can face. You feel as if you're walking around with a scarlet "B" on your chest and a huge amount of self-doubt. Thanks to the professionalism and compassion of such a dynamic duo I have learned that I can breathe easy and walk around with my head held high. As the French say: "C'est la Vie". If you're in the market for an attorney who will listen to your worries, offer valuable advice, not further break your already broken bank, and possess a intellectual acumen rarely seen in today's society then give Heather Culp a call. I am eternally grateful to Heather and her wonderful paralegal Cindy. From start to finish they made my process seamless and kept me informed and relaxed the entire time. These two ladies are a bankruptcy DREAM TEAM. I am now headed on a road to financial recovery and could not have had such a pleasurable experience if it had not been for them. Thanks Heather & Cindy.

I have known Rob Blair since 2007. He is an exceptional family lawyer. Rob was my attorney through my divorce from a 31 year marriage and for my pre-nuptial agreement when I happily remarried 4 years later. While I can personally attest divorce is one of the most difficult things anyone will ever have to go through, Rob and his staff helped ease the pain by treating me like family during the entire process. They truly care and understand how hard, and sad, a divorce can be. I’m grateful for Rob’s wisdom, strength, and compassion as my advocate throughout my divorce. I give him my highest recommendation. There’s a good reason Business North Carolina magazine named Rob the top family law attorney in North Carolina on its 2016 list of “Legal Elite”, and Best Lawyers in America© has named him to its 2017 list in the fields of family law and family law mediation. He’s really that good.

We engaged the services of the Law Office of Heather Culp in 2015 on the recommendation of a close friend, and they delivered big time. Heather and her Para Legal Cynthia were very professional, knowledgeable, and sensitive to clients' needs' I have nothing but positive memories of my dealings with them, and I will gladly recommend them to anyone in need of excellent legal service.

Rob Blair is my attorney and he represented me throughout my divorce proceedings; he is a man of strong moral character who treats everyone with dignity and respect. Rob is a great communicator and his ability to reason and deal with opposing attorneys paved the way for a smooth process. His level of professionalism is second to none and the same pertains to his entire team. Rob’s knowledge of the law and his pragmatic approach to the challenges one is faced with when going through a divorce make him the best. I am so thankful that I had his representation and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
