Excellent Attorney who genuinely cares about her clients
I have worked with attorney Herd on a difficult malpractice case. She obtained an excellent result due to her knowledge of medicine, extraordinary efforts in investigating the matter, and her skill in litigating the case. I highly recommend her.
I highly recommend Betsey and her team. Her professionalism, compassion, and experience in both law and the medical field made her the perfect fit to handle my auto accident case. It was such a traumatic time for me and I am glad that I found a lawyer who truly cared about my well being. She and her staff were readily available to answer my questions and concerns. I truly appreciate everything she did to navigate me through that stressful time in my life.
Surgical Fires, Failure to diagnose infection and treat, Failure to diagnose impending signs and symptoms of a heart attack or heart failure, Failure to recognize and treat bleeding post procedure, failure to treat heart disease, failure to properly administer and monitor coumadin, failure to properly catheterize, failure to diagnose epidural abscess, etc.
I have handled injury cases involving significiant and subtle brain injury resulting from oxygen deprivation, significant blood loss and diffuse axonal traumatic injury.
I have a Masters Degree in Cardiovascular Physiology from Wake Forest University. I worked for 8 years as a Clinical Manager in the hospital industry and as a nurse educator for a national cardiac rehabilitation company. I began my career working as a defense lawyer for insurance companies and defending medical malpractice defendants. My practice now is exclusively for victims of medical malpractice, nursing home malpractice and automobile injuries.

Recommended for getting you through the tough times...
Nobody ever wants to be in a situation where you need a lawyer, but when you do, Betsey Herd and her team are the ones you want on your side. I worked with Betsey for close to three years on my accident case and would work with them again in a heartbeat. Everyone that I worked with at her firm is extremely professional but also caring and understanding of delicate situations. If she wasn't available, my calls or emails were always promptly returned. Being in an accident and dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers is VERY stressful and one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life. Betsey and her team did everything they could to make the overall experience as easy as possible and helped to return my life to normal as quickly as possible.

This is the firm you want!
This isn't your typical law firm. I say that with experience as I am in the legal field and know about attorneys and their ethics. Ms. Herd takes her clients personally. She cares about them, their well being, as well as their case. She puts her heart and soul into her cases and her knowledge of the law and medical field makes her the complete package. At the same time she will fight to the end for you and not settle for less than what you deserve. She is definitely the one you want on your side with her compassion, fire and knowledge. She has been such a blessing in our lives.

Great Lawyer
Betsy was a great lawyer, I trusted that she was always looking out for my best interest and always felt well informed. I would recommend her to anyone that was in a car accident. My accident has impacted my life forever and I truly believe she went above and beyond. I am grateful for everything she did for me.
