I’ve got a lawyer (I think) but i’ve never spoken to anyone but a paralegal. Can I (or should I) change lawyers?

Ugh. That’s not our style, that’s for sure. Our paralegals are highly trained, we keep them to a moderate caseload so they have time to spend on everyone’s file, and our clients pretty much love them. But they aren’t lawyers. There are a lot of times where you need to speak with a lawyer. Our […]

If I hire an attorney am I going to get fired?

Well, with the current state of the law in North Carolina an employer can fire you for just about anything. That’s not reassuring, we know. But it would be self-serving and dishonest to say if you hire us we can guarantee you won’t ever be fired. On the other hand we’ve seen very few clients […]

Wouldn’t I get more money if I didn’t hire an attorney?

We cannot guarantee the results in any case – there’s too much uncertainty as to what may happen. That’s especially true if you hire us early in a case. If you don’t get better your case is going to be worth a lot more than if you’re back to your old self in six months. […]

Why should you have to pay an attorney’s fee when the insurance company has wrongly denied your claim?

That’s a fair question. The short answer is the “but for” answer… you wouldn’t get anything but for the work that your attorney did for you. The long answer is that we may be able to convince the Industrial Commission to sanction your employer or their insurance company for a frivolous denial and have our […]

What is a Board Certified Specialist in Workers’ Comp?

The North Carolina State Bar is the government agency which licenses and monitors attorneys. This agency distinguishes a very, very small number of attorneys as Board Certified Specialists. In order to be Board Certified, an attorney has to practice primarily in workers’ compensation for at least five years, submit an extensive application detailing various cases […]

How do I hire Oxner + Permar and what does it cost?

We work on a contingency fee basis. You may have heard this term before or heard a lawyer on television say, “we don’t get paid if you don’t get paid.” A contingency fee means something has to happen in order for us to get a fee. That something, the contingency, is you getting paid. So […]

Can I call and just ask a question?

Believe it or not we do not charge anything for this! Yes! Please call us. We would much rather talk to you now and give you some advice than have disaster strike and you have to call us later. Most of the time we can have you speaking with an attorney who has been certified […]
