As the CEO of a $9 billion organization my martital estate was a bit complicated. So I needed an attorney who had dealt with very complex situations, while being very efficient with my time, and who was also able to help maintain an even keel during a very emotionally challenging rollercoaster process. Rob Blair helped me with all the above and more. We not only reached a very fair agreement, but did so with the highest degree of professionalism and integrity. I would recommend Rob without hesitation.

As I'm sure is the case in most divorce proceedings, I entered the process full of fear and trepidation for what the future would hold. I had only experienced predatory lawyers who took advantage of the highly charged, emotional environment to extract fees and exert leverage without regard for the damage wrought on those involved. From the very first meeting, Rob was amazing. He approaches the process with a deep respect for all involved, and is caring and calm even in the most stressful situations. He is supported all of our arbitration and was able to diffuse even the most hostile and aggressive confrontations. Throughout the process he always anchored on searching for the outcome that would serve all parties in the best way for the long term, which was critical for me given the fact that creating a balanced and healthy outcome for my children was among my biggest concern. While extremely thoughtful and balanced, Rob was also a strong advocate for my interests and was creative in leverage a wide range of techniques to influence the outcome on my behalf. We approached every session as a true team, and I knew Rob would always have my back however the meeting would unfold. Even now, almost 6 years after the process is complete I continue to reply on Rob for advice and guidance in how to navigate our new reality, 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

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 was highly recommended to me, and I hired him as my divorce attorney immediately after the initial consultation. 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 handled the worst of kind of divorce lawyer hired by my ex-wife with patience, skill and diligence, and brought peace to my war, managing my anger and hurt with true compassion and expertise. Rob and his team, Becky, Sue and Lauren, were phenomenal. Thank you all with all my heart.
