Mr. Goad did a fantastic job when he assisted with a workers’ compensation case. He was easy to get in touch with; promptly returned phone calls and messages when unavailable; and entertained every question at every step along the way.
He was fantastic with my workers compensation case. Came to meet us right of the bat. Drove 50 miles one way to speak with me. Kept me informed and up to date with everything. Wasn't a pushover and went straight after them for more than I thought possible. Asking what he could do for me and who he could speak with to better my care. He'll take care of everything you need with minimal to no aggravation or travel involved. 5 stars and beyond.
I handle workers’ compensation claims before the North Carolina Industrial Commission. This involves dealing with insurance companies, attending hearings, filing motions, forms and briefs.
If you or a loved one have been hurt in a car accident, you're likely facing various concerns about their health, finances, and what insurance will cover. Stop worrying, please call and ask for Jacob Goad today.

When I started my career, I had the opportunity pretty quickly to help the underserved Spanish-speaking community in North Carolina with a variety of legal matters. I quickly found success in advocating for those who had been injured at work and in automobile accidents.
After seeing the difference that quality legal representation made in the lives of my clients, I opened my own firm to make legal advocacy accessible to even more people in my home state.
Whether you are an English or a Spanish speaker, I am here to help you make informed decisions and fight for the compensation you may deserve.

Jacob was the best
He kept me informed and was always accessible. I felt that he would answer all my questions honestly. He even helped my mother out on a case that she was offered a very low settlement and the offer increased 300 percent.

Jacob is Great!!
Jacob was awesome. He was ALWAYS ready to help and be of assistance to me during my auto collision accident. Unlike most lawyers Jacob responded very promptly when I called him and if he was unsure about something he would get clarification from the right source. Also, Jacob worked very hard on my case to receive the highest amount possible. I am so glad that my cousin pointed me in the direction of Jacob to handle my case! Great job!!
