Why do I need an attorney?
Personal injury victims should understand that insurance companies and adjusters are not on your side. They often leverage North Carolina laws to minimize or deny claims to avoid paying out fair compensation, if they even pay at all.
Maggie Shankle is committed to fighting for your legal rights to the monetary compensation that can help you heal and rebuild your life—compensation that can help address the many serious challenges associated with physical injuries; financial problems from medical bills, lost wages, and property damage; and pain and suffering from emotional trauma.
If you've suffered an injury from an accident or intentional act, you need an attorney who will fight for your rights, and Maggie Shankle is the attorney for the job.
"Maggie is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. She will have your back and fight for you every step of the way. Her and her team were always available and responded promptly to any questions or concerns I had. They kept me updated from beginning to end and provided much needed advice. I can't thank Maggie enough for helping me through such an extremely difficult and stressful time in my life. I am so grateful a friend of mine recommended her. Highly recommend!"
