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.

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 sh...e had my best interests at heart and she was going to fight for me.

She did not take my case

I met with Martha Ramsay 2 months after my accident at work. My condition was worsening even though I was under the care of a worker's comp doctor. I was new to this whole process; she had great online reviews so I figured, I would seek her legal advice. I drove to Ms. Ramsay's office for a consultat...ion. She looked over my MRI report and stated to me, she had read several medical reports and represented several professional football players so she was very knowledgeable when it came to medical terms, and after looking over my report, she didnt see anything to be alarmed about. She also stated, that because I only worked part time with this employer, and did not make that much per hour, my case was not worth enough for her to represent me. She was very nice and professional, but I just left her office feeling like, wow! She really could have told me this over the phone, I drove pretty far to met with her at the office. Turns out, she was wrong, and what my worker's comp doctors referred to as a sprain was actually a fractured bone. I did find a law firm to represent me. I told them what had been told to me by Martha Ramsay regarding my income and my lawyer stated, they did not require me to make a certain amount of money. I was really discouraged after talking to Ms. Ramsay and gave up for several months looking for an attorney, because I thought all of them thought this way, but my injury continued to get progressively worse and started affecting other muscle groups. It was only after I ended up in the emergency room with a doctor outside the worker's comp network, that I was told how serious my injury was and why it was not improving. Now that I've been dealing with these crooked worker's comp doctor's and see first hand how they dismiss serious injuries, I'm shocked any lawyer that claims to have medical knowledge would believe anything that comes from the office of a wc doctor's. This system is a joke! Thank God for attorneys that represent the little guys.

Replied last August 09, 2017

I’m sorry the reviewer has had a frustrating workers’ compensation case. Any consultation we have with a potential client in our office is confidential. Therefore, I am unable to respond to the comments left by this reviewer. However, we take all of our client's complaints of pain seriously. We know that doctors make mistakes and that sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose conditions. I am glad that the reviewer was able to get the medical treatment they needed and legal advice. Our firm takes clients with significant or catastrophic workers’ compensation injuries, which disable them from work. Unfortunately, clients who have lower earnings at the time of their injury tend to have lower valued settlements because workers’ compensation does not compensate for pain and suffering, but rather compensates only for medical treatment, loss of time out of work and permanent injury. I hope now that the doctor has made a correct diagnosis, the reviewer has a full recovery.

"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."
