Just like many affected by a workers comp injury, I really had no idea where to start. I am a seasoned law enforcement officer and I always took pride in the fact that I was very knowledgeable when it came to the law and NC General statutes. I did as much research as I could and I pretty much had a p...retty good idea of how the process should go. I knew more than the average person going in, yet I knew right off the bat that I needed a good, experienced attorney. I had the opportunity to speak with Bob after communicating with him some through an online forum. Bob spent almost two hours one night on the phone with me giving me an idea of how the process would go and he made sure I knew which forms needed to be completed. Even though I already had done a lot of leg work myself, I knew from the conversation that he was willing to go the extra mile and would be willing to fight for me. I lost my job due to my injury and it was devastating. I can honestly say that I would not have been able to keep my wits and stay focused on the details and be able to battle the WC alone. Bob was on the ball and headed off a potential catastrophe when the WC tried to screw me over and have my rating changed in order to cut off my checks. In the end I was satisfied with settlement. It wasn't all I wanted, but Bob helped me understand the good and bad of continuing my fight and was willing to fight it as far as necessary. I have dealt with attorneys my entire career and I feel I should tell anybody that is hiring a lawyer to realize how busy they are and not to set your expectations too high when it comes to communication and having your calls returned right away. Having said that, Bob gave me more time than I expected, especially when it was necessary and there were issues to address. I would recommend Bob in a heartbeat and I have actually referred three different people to his office during the process. Fighting a WC insurance company is a giant headache and even worse when dealing with the emotional strain of losing your job or having physical pain. Don't try itty yourself and do yourself a favor by calling Bob and discuss your case with him.

My case is still in litigation and Mr. Bollinger has worked arduously on it for almost a year and a half. It is a very difficult case that most lawyers would refuse to handle. In fact, several in NC and in Maryland adamantly declined to represent me. I fell and sustained a serious injury to my wri...st, requiring surgery, while working out of state. I didn't know for sure how the fall happened. This gave the insurance company every opportunity to deny the claim and to conjure up any numbers of reasons for the fall that did not involve my job. Mr. Bollinger took the case against all odds and has dealt with the insurance company with dogged perseverance. In addition, he's been faced with an even more formidable problem - his own client. A single woman living alone for years, I must handle every aspect of my life aggressively and have thus tried to run my own work comp case. Despite my continued intrusions into the case, only a few of which were helpful, he's been very tactful and tolerant and has been unusually professional in handling this aspect of the case. I hear only good things about him and I am convinced he is very well versed in work comp law. He answers emails and calls very quickly, sometimes within minutes, and takes all the time his clients need. His paralegal has spent quite a bit of her time explaining in detail the many questions I've asked. I highly recommend Bob Bollinger for people with unusual and/or very complex cases. I feel confident that in the end we will prevail.

I feel so lucky and grateful to have had Mr. Bollinger represent me in my workers compensation case. I am from New England and traveled to North Carolina to fill a summer position. Within a few weeks of taking the job, I took a fall and badly injured my leg. I required major reconstructive surgery. T...he workers comp carrier was shady: first telling me my claim was approved and then later denying it when it became too expensive. I was terrified because I was left with no insurance and a bum leg resulting in no work capacity. I contacted Mr. Bollinger the same day my case was denied and he got back to me in a matter of hours. I hadn't even hired him yet and there he was answering my questions, explaining my rights, and telling me what any good lawyer would do if I chose to appeal. Obviously I hired him and within a short period of time, he took my case (which was a mess) and turned it around. I am incredibly pleased with the outcome. He really was and is a Godsend. Mr. Bollinger has a brilliant legal mind, strong ethics, and he genuinely cares about his clients. It also doesn't hurt that he's clearly respected within the legal community and perhaps even a little feared. I recommend him without any reservations.

I could not be more thankful to have Bob Bollinger as my attorney. Bobby Bollinger is a great man and the best Workers Compensation lawyer in the state of North Carolina. That's not just my opinion it's the opinion of all I have spoke with regarding Workers Compensation law. Bobby Bollinger has ans...wered every question I have asked by phone or email within hours of my call or emails. Bobby Bollinger is always honest and very concerned about my case and has never pressured me into settling my Workers Compensation case and has always put my needs and concerns first. Bobby Bollingers office and staff are always courteous and helpful and have never made feel as if I was one of a thousand they work with and that's a great feeling. I would not hesitate to recommend Bobby Bollinger to my friends or family. He's not just my lawyer he is someone I consider my friend.

Mr. Bollinger is my lawyer and has worked hard to get me medical treatment that has been denied me. Before I even looked to hire a lawyer I found Bob Bollinger on the internet. I emailed him and he answered many questions for me. He did not know me, or know if I would hire him. He answered every que...stion I asked. At one point he told me to call and for almost 2 hours on the phone he answered and informed me of many laws and gave suggestions that helped me. He never asked for anything. When it came to hire a lawyer I looked around, and it was his free advise that helped me when I had no counsel and the fact he allowed me to call and ask more from him. All the other lawyers acted like I owed them for anything they told me. I would and do recommend Mr. Bollinger He has been very helpful and I would hire him all over again.
