Sneads Ferry case work
Sneads Ferry case work bridges coastal-rental premises on North Topsail Beach and NC-210 causeway crashes.
North Topsail Beach sits across the Surf City bridge from Pender County but is in Onslow County, so the venue and courthouse are different from the rest of Topsail Island. Case work here is rental-premises heavy including decks, balconies, stairs, and beach-access hazards, plus NC-210 causeway crashes and marina and boat cases on the ICW at Fulchers Landing and Stump Sound.
Boating and marina cases often require specialized evidence, such as vessel maintenance records, Coast Guard reports, and marine inspections. Coastal rental property cases may also require quickly identifying the property owner, management company, or LLC before important records are lost. Most cases are filed in Onslow County Superior Court in Jacksonville, and serious injuries are typically treated first at Onslow Memorial Hospital before transfer to Novant Regional or ECU Health when needed.
Consultations are free. I can meet clients in Sneads Ferry, North Topsail Beach, or remotely if travel is difficult. No fee unless I win.

Frequently asked questions
North Topsail Beach — Onslow or Pender?
North Topsail Beach is in Onslow County. Surf City and Topsail Beach are in Pender. Which county the property sits in sets the courthouse and local defense bar; venue itself generally follows where you or the at-fault party can be sued, so I check the parcel and who the operator is first. It matters because the Onslow docket, the local defense bar, and the trauma-transfer path are different from Pender's.
The injury happened on a boat on the ICW — what law applies?
Depending on where the boat was operating and what happened, either North Carolina state law or federal maritime law can apply. I run that analysis at intake because the choice affects venue, statute of limitations, and available damages.
How do you handle a case where the client is a Marine or Marine spouse?
Like any other case, with an eye to deployment schedules for scheduling depositions and mediations. For civilian-side incidents (off-base crashes, rental premises), the case runs in state court and the client's military affiliation is irrelevant to liability. It sometimes matters to venue-selection strategy.
