Barry Clarence Jennings

I joined the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin in 2006 and am presently a shareholder and practicing attorney in the Firm's Workers' Compensation Department. I received my J.D. with honors from the University of North Carolina School of Law, and graduated magna cum laude from North Carolina State University, where I received my B.S. in Animal Science.

Since obtaining my law degree, I have practiced in the area of workers' compensation, and is now representing workers having suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of a work accident.

After working in insurance defense as an attorney for workers' compensation insurance carriers, I sought to make an immediate, substantial and positive impact on the lives of injured workers in North Carolina.  I enjoy explaining the law and helping real people with real problems.

In addition to being a Board Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law, I have earned the designation of Rising Star by North Carolina Super Lawyers* in 2011 and in 2012.  I am also a member of The Order of Barristers, and the Workplace Injury Litigation Group, as well as the North Carolina Advocates for Justice.

* = To be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less. Rising Stars undergo a rigorous, multiphase process which combines peer nominations with third-party research.

While up to five percent of the lawyers in any state are named "Super Lawyers," by Super Lawyers magazine, no more than 2.5 percent are named to the Rising Stars list.
