Why Choose Roane Law?

When you’re facing the aftermath of a personal injury, choosing the right legal representation is crucial. At Roane Law, we understand the challenges you’re facing and are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the legal process.

Your Path to Justice: What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your free consultation with a Roane Law personal injury attorney is designed to be a comprehensive and transparent experience. We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge and a clear understanding of their case.

  • The Narrative: This is your opportunity to share your story. We want to hear the details of your personal injury, understand its impact on your life, and ensure your voice is heard and understood. This initial conversation is also a crucial step in building trust and a rapport with the attorney who will champion your case.
  • The Objective: We’ll work with you to clarify your goals for the case. While we can help you assess the potential monetary value, it’s essential to outline your personal objectives from the outset. These can range from securing fair compensation for lost wages and medical bills to achieving a sense of justice and closure. By discussing your goals openly, we can align your expectations with potential outcomes.
  • Scope of Representation: Transparency is key. We will clearly outline the responsibilities we undertake on your behalf and how we plan to represent you. This includes discussing time commitments from both parties and any potential limitations that might arise during your case. We’ll also be upfront about our fees and how they reflect the work and effort we put in.
  • An Estimated Timeline: We understand that time is precious, especially when you’re dealing with injuries and financial concerns. Based on our extensive experience, most Roane Law personal injury attorneys will provide you with an estimated timeline for your case. This estimate helps you plan for your future and manage financial considerations.

By openly discussing these factors, we can assess your case thoroughly and provide you with a realistic view of potential outcomes. We emphasize that each case is unique, and we’ll help you prepare for various scenarios. Your journey with us always begins by sharing your story, followed by a clear discussion of your goals, a transparent understanding of our role, and an estimated timeframe for resolution.

Unique Attributes of Roane Law

At Roane Law, we believe our unique approach and deep commitment to our clients set us apart:

  • Founded on Personal Experience: Our founding attorney, James M. Roane III, understands personal injury on a deeply personal level. After a severe car wreck in 1995, he experienced firsthand the difficulties of dealing with insurance companies. This frustrating experience motivated him to attend law school at Wake Forest Law, and he has been fiercely fighting for the rights of injured individuals ever since.
  • Exclusive Plaintiff Representation: We only represent plaintiffs – individuals who have been injured. We do not represent insurance companies or defendants. This singular focus ensures our complete dedication to your best interests.
  • Experienced Trial Attorney: James Roane excels in complex civil litigation and has successfully tried jury trials in numerous counties across the Piedmont Area, including Davidson, Guilford, Rockingham, Forsyth, and Alamance. He also travels throughout North Carolina litigating various cases, with a particular focus on nursing home abuse cases.
  • Commitment to Education: James Roane has dedicated over a decade to teaching trial attorney advocacy skills as an adjunct professor to law students at Elon University. This commitment to education reflects his deep understanding of legal principles and his desire to give back to the legal community.
  • A Diligent and Caring Team: James has built a dedicated team of professionals, including lead investigator Jim Roane and paralegals Kerri Nicks and Meranda Barrow. Together, this team provides extraordinary service, genuinely caring about clients and tirelessly fighting for their rights.
  • North Carolina Focus Since 1999: We have been proudly serving the residents of North Carolina since 1999, handling cases across the state, from Spruce Pine to Lumberton, with a strong presence in the Piedmont Area.
  • Specialized in Personal Injury Law: Unlike many firms that handle a wide range of legal matters, we specialize exclusively in personal injury law. Personal injury law is complex and constantly evolving, and we believe that true expertise comes from dedicated focus. We do not handle traffic tickets, criminal cases, or divorces; we are solely committed to personal injury law, and we excel at it.

Reviews & Testimonials

“passionate about my case”

“I was advised to obtain a Workman's Comp attorney, so I started looking. When I saw Mr. Roane's commercial on tv, I felt this was the right choice. I was right! The office was very receptive to my needs. I was assigned attorney Ms. Kara McIvor, who has truly been my advocate. She is passionate about my case and is either an email or a phone call away. This has been a long and painful process, but I'm glad that she and Roane Law are on my team!”

Some Questions To Ask Your Attorney

A free consultation is also an excellent time to ask potential attorneys about their qualifications and experience. If you have a consultation booked, you should have a few questions prepared beforehand. Some of these questions include:

  • How long have you been practicing law?
  • How long have you worked on personal injury cases specifically?
  • What are a few cases you have handled that are like mine? What were their outcomes?
  • Which lawyer from your firm will handle my case? How much time will they spend working on it?
  • Will you try to settle my case outside the court or go straight to trial?
  • What are our chances of winning this case?

These general questions are great for outlining any consultation. If you have any questions specific to your situation, feel free to ask those, too. However, if you still need to book an initial consultation, it is time to contact Roane Law today! We can quickly schedule a call for you!
