Michael Harman

As the firm’s principal attorney, I focus on employment litigation, advocating for employees and small businesses throughout North Carolina during every stage of employment disputes. I provide comprehensive representation in cases involving workplace discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, retaliation, violations of The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and wage and hour disputes. My practice extends to representing clients in unemployment appeal hearings, as well as before courts and administrative agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the North Carolina Department of Labor. I am dedicated to ensuring that workers' rights are protected and that employers uphold their legal obligations under both federal and state employment laws. In addition to employment law, I handle civil litigation matters, with a particular emphasis on personal injury and worker’s compensation claims. This includes representing clients who have been injured in accidents due to another party’s negligence, such as car accidents, and workplace injuries. I navigate the complexities of worker's compensation law, ensuring injured employees receive the benefits they are entitled to, such as medical treatment and wage replacement. My work in personal injury law involves seeking fair compensation for clients who have suffered physical, emotional, and financial losses due to accidents or unsafe working conditions. By representing clients in both state and federal courts, I bring a robust legal strategy to every case, whether negotiating settlements or advocating in the courtroom. My goal is to provide effective, compassionate legal services that prioritize the rights and needs of my clients, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
