Review Martha Ramsay

Quick responding, reliable, caring and informative!

Posted by

The Best! Ramsay Law Firm worked with me for three years to resolve my case. Even when I moved to New York they kept in contact and walked me through what was going on. Everything I was uncertain of was explained in everyday terms (not just lawyer terms). I was always updated on what events were taking place and was advised of each option I had for my case. In the end I couldn't have been happier. All of my medical bills were paid off and "talked down" allowing me to receive a larger settlement than expected. I appreciate all the hard work they put into settling my case. Definitely an excellent law firm who really cares about their clients! Thank You!!

She was going to fight for me.

I was recommended to Ms. Ramsay by my agent as one of the best Workers' Compensation attorneys for athletes in North Carolina. I was pleased by the professionalism in which she handled my claim and the level of comfort I received during the entire claims process through to mediation. I felt that she had my best interests at heart and she was going to fight for me.

An excellent experience!

I feel quite blessed. I was literally in the last few days before my right to file would have expired. I had met with several of the firms many see on television, and perhaps because it wasn't a "sexy case" none of them signed me. However, when I met with Martha Ramsay she was kind and candid. She took my case, made me feel heard and empowered. No, it wasn't a huge settlement, but that wasn't all I needed and Ms Ramsay made sure I was able to choose an option that suited me. I was able to choose an option that provides me with after care (once my case is closed). I also appreciate her support team. My thanks to all.

I hired Martha Ramsay after I got hurt twice at work. I am not one to hire an Attorney as I thought I could handle everything myself. It became to overwhelming for me with all the paper work, mileage, prescriptions etc., I met with Ms Ramsay and I was very impressed by her professionalism and her straight forward approach. If I had any problems during the process, she would personally call me, very impressed. She made me feel like I was important and honestly part of her family. I would recommend her to anyone who is thinking of hiring an attorney, you will be well taken care of and should call her today.

Martha is an incredible advocate for the injured workers in North Carolina. Her experience and advocacy make her second to none. She is a pleasure working with and her sympathy and understanding towards the client make her a true "legal counselor." She is a true litigator and will fight to the bitter end.

Martha Ramsey goes the extra mile for her clients with compassion, professional, and trustworthy performance for the client's future and well-being. I had to retire from a nursing profession of thirty-nine years after a job injury and was able to talk with Martha Ramsey and was treated on an individual basis. Any questions I needed answered were replied within the same day or next day. I could express my concerns and questions and know that she understood and knew my anxiety concerning workers' compensation and the possible outcome. All rules and policies were provided regarding the industrial commission and which option would be the best solution for my life. To become disabled and a widow at the age of 58 within three months the same year can be devastating. It has been a time period of three years and nine months, but Martha Ramsay is one attorney I would seek again without delay. She is dedicated to her clients from the first day of consultation and her opinion and trustworthiness is phenomenal. Also the expectations of the client are presented and explained by M. Ramsay in order to establish a client/ attorney relationship. I intend to share my experience with others who may have a need for the most highly qualified personal attorney that can be most beneficial and helpful to mankind who have been unfortunate to experience a job injury or other devastating life encounters. Attorney fees are reasonable and explained in detail to avoid misconception. Martha Ramsay is an important friend and contact I am glad to have met in my need during this time in my life. So glad God put her and her firm in my pathway of life.

when I got hurt on the job. I called the insurance co. everyday. After about 5 0r 6 weeks, I was told they were not going to fix my injury. I found Ramsay law firm on google. while talking to her, I noticed she was very concerned about what I wanted, and that was to get my injury fixed. After signing with her, I got a call the very next day that they decided to fix my injury. during the whole process she kept me informed of what was going on. .After I went back to work I was told I would be given another job on night shift. .After notifying Ms. Ramsay, she contacted my employer and everything went back to normal. Ms.Ramsay and the people who work for her really care for their clients. I have recommend numerous people to her, and will continue to do so in the furture.

don't know what I would have done without her

The workers comp laws in NC favor the businesses, not the employee. The process of just getting real doctor appointments was slow, most employers did not know the rules. Once I hired Ms Ramsay and her staff I was looked at as serious and things started to proceed faster, getting several specialists and doctors to look at my injury seriously, exhausting all avenues of pain management, finally leading to surgery. Although my mediation was grueling and very emotional because of the laws here, I know that I could not have been in better hands.

Great Firm

Martha Ramsay met with me on my very first visit and stated that she would do the Best any lawyer could do for me with my worker compensation case. The entire Law Firm was very helpful with a All aspects of my case especially her staff, Thanks.

Martha's honesty

My wife had a car accident. We met with Martha and went over the scenarios. She was very straight forward. She told us what the probable outcomes would be for each scenario. She could have easily steered us into a scenario that would have been good for her business, but instead gave us solid advice that was better for us. I would trust Martha to handle any case.

Helen Harwell, Business Attorney on Sep 5, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I have known Martha since we worked together about 15 years ago where she taught me about workers compensation and personal injury law. We often discuss how she operates her law firm to achieve results and look out for the interests of her clients and her plans to continue to improve and implement systems that are focused on her clients needs and best interests. She also expresses her frustration with the North Carolina workers compensation system and explains how she is able to overcome many of the obstacles her clients face within the system, how she assist her clients in obtaining favorable results in their cases and is able to provide assistance to her clients to push for them to the medical treatment and medical care they need.

Michel Daisley, Personal injury Attorney on Apr 13, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I've been privileged to know Martha for a long time as an active member of the Mecklenburg Bar, and a zealous advocate for her clients. As a mediator, I've seen up close the care and compassion she has for her clients. I enthusiastically endorse her as someone to consider as your champion if you have been injured on the job.
