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 to...ok 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.

Best Attorney in Charlotte, NC

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 st...raight 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.

Peer Review

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 bit...ter end.

Mrs.

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 individu...al 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.

life saver

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.

"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."
