Product Liability Attorneys

Product manufacturers facing liability, defect, and recall issues must nimbly and strategically address a multitude of complex legal needs.

With decades of broad experience evaluating, investigating and defending legal issues stemming from product manufacture, distribution, and sales, we understand that going to trial is often the last – but most critical - resort. We work collaboratively with our clients to structure strategic solutions through all phases of litigation. And if a case goes to trial, you can be confident that our seasoned attorneys will represent you with vigor and dedication to achieve the best possible outcome.

We have successfully defended cases in state and federal courts across North Carolina and Virginia, achieving favorable outcomes for our clients by securing early dismissals, resolving disputes through mediation, and winning cases in front of juries. No matter the challenge, we’re committed to protecting your interests every step of the way.

Early Case Preparation

Beyond defense of litigated matters, our firm works actively with clients in the investigation and prelitigation phases of a matter. This includes partnering with outside engineers and reconstruction experts after notification of a product failure or serious injury for investigative purposes. Benefits of this aggressive pre-suit investigation are many and include:

Early development of facts to prevent erroneous allegations in the event of a suit filing.
Opportunities for clients to fully understand a matter and issues at the outset of the factual event. We can then preserve evidence for a potential defense or attempt resolution where it is advantageous and factually warranted.
An initial overlay of attorney/client privilege which allows candor in assessments and interactions with the client while making most initial investigative materials non-discoverable.
