Handled my case well

The law firm took care of a problem with insurance billing with the hospital. They also were able to get me a fair settlement without the long process of going to court.

Ann Catherine Ochsner's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Ann
Bill Powers headshot
Bill Powers

Litigation lawyer | May 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As the current President of one of North Carolina's Professional Legal Associations, I can attest to Ann's Leadership and dedication to the Courts of North Carolina. I have also watched Ann at work, with a Jury, in Superior Court. That's actually somewhat unusual. Lawyers don't often have time to watch other lawyers argue cases. She is a Top Notch lawyer, a wonderful person, and compassionate soul. She has a presence in Court and a kind, unassuming demeanor with Jurors. I am proud Ann is both a professional colleague and friend. Bill Powers Charlotte NC"

Relationship: Friend

"I Have known Ann since she was a legal assistant for me and my partners in a Fayetteville firm many years ago. Even then she had tremendous intellect for litigation matters without formal training. Now that she has the formal training, Ann is a very skilled lawyer and is quite capable. I endorse her completely without any reservation whatsoever."

Sample of Legal Cases

Overton v. Evans Logging, et al.

The order of the trial court was reversed, allowing the injured truck driver to proceed with a lawsuit against the responsible parties

Ochsner v. Elon

A panel of six Supreme Court justices was evenly divided; 3 in favor of reversing and 3 in favor of affirming the decision of the Court of Appeals. This split decision renders the decision of the Court of Appeals without precedential value.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
