My Approach
Report
No one who has walked through the doors of my Chapel Hill law firm or called to describe his or her needs ever anticipated being in such terrible circumstances. It was always the other guy who wrecked in the recalled car, the other woman whose toddler was injured by the defective toy, the other family who lost Dad when the hospital gave him the wrong pills.

Report
For more than 30 years, I have provided civil litigation services to residents of Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham and surrounding areas of central North Carolina. My reputation is based on proven results. Most of my work focuses on defending the rights of consumers in civil matters concerning defective products, such as airbags, machinery, and other items that put unaware consumers at risk for injury or death.
Product Liability
Report
Some designers and manufacturers cut corners. Most electronics, pharmaceutical, toy, automotive and food companies are forced to create products that are quick and inexpensive to replicate and market at a profit. They, because of this need, opt for a product that can be produced more cheaply than its safer counterpart.
Car Defects
Report
As a North Carolina motorist, you take precautions when you pull out on the highway, interstate, or any busy thoroughfare. Sadly, even if you're the safest driver in the world, you are still at the mercy of the other motorists' navigation skills. When drivers shop for new and used cars, sellers highlight and carefully explain safety features, because safety is a critical selling point.
Damage Cause by Products
Report
Product manufacturers have an ethical and legal responsibility to design and make their products with reasonable care and to ensure that they are safe for use in their intended purpose. Unfortunately, large companies often are motivated by less worthy goals, such as their desire to maximize profits and beat out competition, motives which lessen their concern about the consumer and the safety of their products.
