Leland personal injury attorney with 36 years of North Carolina experience
Leland is fifteen minutes across the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, and it is where a lot of the Wilmington-to-Brunswick commuter volume comes from. I take Leland cases across every practice area, and the geography is close enough that meeting in person the same week is the norm. Free consultation.

What I handle for Leland clients
Where I can help Leland clients get what they deserve
Leland case work is heavy on US-17 / US-74 vehicle crashes and Cape Fear Memorial Bridge collisions, with HOA-community premises injuries and delivery-truck cases layered in. I take these cases from anywhere in Leland and drive or meet remotely, whichever works for your recovery.
Car accidents
Adjuster lowballs, quick offers, and the contributory-negligence defense.
Motorcycle accidents
UM / UIM stacking when the at-fault driver has insufficient coverage.
Truck & commercial vehicle
Multi-defendant, FMCSA-regulated cases other firms struggle to investigate.
Premises liability
Slip-and-fall, Airbnb, vacation rental, deck collapse, nursing home falls.
Brain injury
TBI, concussion, and brain bleed, where long-term impact drives case value.
Wrongful death
Claims brought by the estate under NC's 2-year statute of limitations.
Leland case work
Leland is the closest Brunswick County city, and its crash patterns cluster on US-17 / US-74 and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Leland has grown fast, including Brunswick Forest, Magnolia Greens, Waterford, and Compass Pointe, and the road network has not kept up. The bulk of the case load here is US-17 and US-74 vehicle crashes, particularly rear-enders in commuter traffic and merge crashes near the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge on-ramps. HOA and community-amenity premises injuries also come up, including pool-deck falls, sidewalk hazards inside the master-planned communities, and the occasional delivery-truck crash on interior streets.
Brunswick County Superior Court in Bolivia is usually a proper venue for Leland residents, though a New Hanover filing can be proper when the at-fault party is based there. For catastrophic injuries I usually meet clients at Novant Regional in Wilmington, which is closer to Leland than the Bolivia community hospital and is the Level II trauma referral. I know the local defense counsel, the adjusters that write commercial vehicles in this corridor, and the HOA carrier patterns.
The consultation is free. Coming to Leland is a fifteen-minute drive; I do it regularly. No fee unless I win.

Leland questions
The questions clients most often ask about Leland cases, from venue and drive time to who handles the meeting and how coverage works.
Frequently asked questions
Was the wreck on the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge a New Hanover or a Brunswick case?
The bridge deck itself is on the county line, so people assume the crash spot settles it. In North Carolina, though, venue in an injury case generally follows where you live or where the at-fault party lives when the case is filed — which, for a wreck between two neighbors, often makes both New Hanover and Brunswick proper venues. I look at the crash report coordinates and where each party lives, and I have argued both venues.
If I fell on a Brunswick Forest amenity, can I sue the HOA?
You can bring a claim against the possessor of the amenity, which is usually the HOA or the property manager. The claim turns on notice, whether the HOA knew or should have known, and on whether the hazard was open-and-obvious under NC law.
How fast can you meet me in Leland?
Usually the same week you call, often within a day or two. It is a fifteen-minute drive, and I prefer to see the crash location or the property before an adjuster gets there first.
