Personal injury Attorney | Aug 16

"Paul is a fantastic attorney that passionately advocates for his clients."
Workers compensation Attorney | Aug 26
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
"The process involved with injury-based claims often involves a host of other parties: multiple insurance companies, opposing parties, and professionals paid to minimize their exposure at the victim’s expense. Paul’s strong background in crafting strategic legal arguments is a great fit for cutting through the legal smokescreen in these matters to get the best result for his client. I highly recommend Paul Tharp for anyone facing an injury-related issue in North Carolina."

Having worked with Paul for many years, I would argue that his real strength is in his ability to come up with tactical legal arguments that he passionately believes in. Paul is an asset to our firm and I highly recommend him."
