!!!Truly Outstanding!!!

After my accident, I got an attorney that really did not know a lot about worker's compensation. Since hiring Mr. Scott, he has done everything to look out for his clients best interest. Would truly recommended him to any one.

Mediation lawyer | Sep 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As attorneys most of us can fall into the trap of marching forward with blinders on, believing that whatever side we represent or whatever theory of law that we argue is the only possible way of looking at things. This can cause us to either either ignore completely or fail to give opposing counsel's arguments the merit and consideration they deserve. It's in this arena that Scott excels where the rest of us have a tendency to fall short. Mr. Hedrick is capable of viewing a contested issue from both sides of the aisle making him exceptionally qualified to serve as a mediator between opposing parties and an exceptionally dangerous opponent to see on the other side. I would certainly recommend his services for either."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Scott is one of the most knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorneys in North Carolina. I worked with Scott for (5) years and not only learned the law, but also learned how to properly treat a client. Scott brings many years of litigation experience from both sides of a workers’ compensation claim. Scott is also one of the best mediators and problem solvers that I have had the opportunity to work with. I find it easy to endorse Scott."

Workers compensation lawyer | Oct 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Hedrick was one of the first lawyers I met when I first moved to Wilmington. Upon our first meeting I was able to assess that he is a kind and thoughtful person in addition to being a great lawyer. He assisted me quite a bit during that tenuous first year of practice and I will not forget it. It has now been nearly fifteen years since I first met Scott, and I still have great respect for both the man and the lawyer."

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.
