If not knowing the answer to a question drives you crazy, we have a lot in common. In fact, that was the main reason why I became an attorney. Before law school, I worked as a technology consultant for a Big 4 firm and owned a small business—and I felt apprehensive every time I encountered a legal issue. I found it challenging to find any clear guidance that would help me solve the real-world problems I faced. Additionally, it always seemed that well-intentioned people came out on the losing end too often in court, and that law was only there to penalize the unwary. As a result, I went to law school to get the knowledge I needed to defend myself as a small business owner.
After enrolling at law school, my attitude towards the law changed pretty quickly, largely due to a case from my property law class, Armory v. Delamirie. Here’s a quick rundown: in England back in 1722, a poor, young chimney sweeper found a jewel and went to a jeweler to have it appraised. The jeweler lied about its value, and when the boy demanded the return of the jewel, the jeweler kept it.
While most of the students in the class, myself included, were wrapped up in the legal rules and issues involved in the case, my property professor pointed out a fact that we all overlooked—the chimney sweeper was poor, and had no means or resources to get the jewel back. Somewhere, a compassionate lawyer listened to the devastated child and cared about him enough to represent him without any expectation of a fee—and that lawyer won back the value of the jewel. The lawyer also won back my faith in the legal system, as I realized that the law can immeasurably help people, especially when they are in the hands of an attorney who cares.
Every day, I’m motivated by the desire to help clients—taking their great opportunities, personal dilemmas, or major life changes, and transforming them into defining moments in their lives. I take that job very seriously, and I work hard to earn and maintain the trust of my clients.
Outside the office, I enjoy woodworking, watching movies, and perfecting "Blackbird" by the Beatles on guitar. I also do a lot of volunteer work, mainly with the Union West Rotary Club, Habitat for Humanity, and the American Red Cross.

Nate did a great job in advising on how to build a tax and estate strategy that saves us significantly. Easy to work with, very hard working and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend Nate to anyone looking for estate planning and general legal counsel.

Last February my mother fell and broke her hip, and I quickly discovered that everything we thought had been settled with her money years ago wasn't. The hospital social worker was recommending that she file for Medicaid and I just felt like she was being pushed through the system. I did a search on ...

Nathan was referred to us by our accountant to help my mother with applying for VA benefits and we couldn't have asked for more from an attorney. He was so nice and generous with his time, especially with my 94 year old mother who has dementia and has a hard time understanding anything. I really appr...

Nathan stepped in and took over a case that had been handled poorly by another attorney. I know fixing someone else's mistakes is always an issue, he just stepped in and fixed the case. When it was all said and done it cost me less than the other person was charging and the results were exactly as I ...

I am a WWII veteran who served in the Army Air Corps. I met Mr. Workman after he was referred to me by a financial advisor, who spoke highly of him. The VA denied my application for Aid and Attendance pension benefits after I moved into an assisted living facility and my cost of care was quickly whit...
"Nathan is very professional and detail oriented coupled with a knowledgeable and compassionate approach. I highly recommend and trust him to handle his legal matters efficiently and successfully."
"Nathan comes with my highest recommendation. Over the years, his perspective has benefited me tremendously. Nathan brings a rare blend of hard work, dedication, and compassion to every case. I recommend this attorney without hesitation."
"Mr. Workman is an outstanding and excellent attorney. I would recommend anyone and everyone to him for his services. I have been practicing for 24 years as a judge, magistrate, law professor, private attorney, and prosecutor, and I learn from his answers on Avvo every day. Simply an exemplary attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Workman and I went to law school together. He was respected then among his peers, and he is respected now among lawyers in North Carolina. He is a class act, honest, extremely intelligent, likeable, hard-working, gifted, and well-versed in the law. Mr. Workman is the kind of attorney I would want in my corner if I needed legal counsel. I highly recommend him without any reservation!"
"Nathan Workman is without a doubt the finest attorney your company could hire. He knows more about business regulations and federal guidelines than any other attorney I have ever met. Nathan is intelligent, professional, and above all else, trustworthy. You truly couldn't find a better lawyer to represent your business."
"I attended law school with Nathan and I give him high remarks for his performance. Nathan is a great business attorney as he himself is a former small business owner. He knows the needs of a business owner and delivers."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Workman has combined his experience in the "real world" of business with a legal education to provide insight for his clients that is lacking in the market today. His "out of the box" approach provides an innate ability to identify solutions others in the legal field are at a loss to find."
"When it comes to Business Litigation or transacational matters such as Estate Planning, Nathan is at the top of his class. I would recommend Nathan's services to anyone in need of these types of legal services in the Charlotte-Metro area."
"Nathan is a highly-respected attorney that has the rare gift of being exceptional at finding solutions to the most complex issues, while also being extremely structured and detail-oriented. When Nathan takes on a responsibility, trust that he will do it, and do it well."
"I went to school with Nathan and had the pleasure of working with him on the Charlotte Law Review. Aside from being a talented attorney, his is kind, considerate, compassionate and the consumate professional. I would recommend him to any of my friends or family."

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.
Suspension With All Stayed issued in NC, 2016
updated on 02/10/2017Suspension stayed means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements.
“In 2013, I delegated two probate cases to an associate, and the associate neglected to close them. My clients didn't file a grievance, but the NC Bar investigated the issue. It maintained that I didn't adequately supervise the associate or respond to the court when it attempted to notify the firm about the issue. I maintained that I was given bad information from the associate and the court never actually notified the firm. I reached this settlement with the NC Bar and the associate was let go.”
