L&R Blog
Greetings, and thanks for visiting Lewis & Roberts’ blog! Our firm is fortunate to be filled with several energetic lawyers with an interest in writing blog posts which might help potential clients find an attorney to represent their interests and serve as a springboard for the legal research of fellow North Carolina attorneys. The attorneys in our office concentrate on either general civil litigation or workers’ compensation defense, thus, these blog posts will focus a majority of our content on these areas of practice. However, in keeping with the informal tone of a blog, we also hope to publish an occasional lighthearted post illustrating that even lawyers can have a fun side.
If you have questions about our blog content or any of our practice areas, contact one of our experienced attorneys.
