Personal Injury

Cecelia Jones and Buddy Jones are the attorneys in the firm that help those who have been injured due to the negligence of others. Our attorneys can help you recover damages if you have been injured in any sort of accident, including injuries resulting from car accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents. Here are some reasons why you may need a personal injury attorney:

1. To help you navigate the legal process: Personal injury cases can be complex, and our experienced attorneys can guide you through the process and ensure your rights are protected.
2. To help you recover compensation: A personal injury attorney can help you pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
3. To negotiate with insurance companies: Insurance companies are often more concerned with protecting their own profits than with fairly compensating injury victims. Our attorneys are experienced with negotiating with insurance companies on behalf of our clients to ensure a fair settlement is reached.
4. To represent you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys can represent you in court. In some cases, it may be necessary to bring in expert witnesses to support your claim. Our attorneys have access to a network of professionals who can provide testimony and other evidence to support your claim.

Estate Planning and Administration

Estate planning is the process of arranging and preparing for the management and distribution of your assets in the event of your death or incapacity. It involves creating a comprehensive plan that considers both your financial and personal goals, taking into account factors such as taxes, potential beneficiaries, and your final wishes. Estate planning typically involves creating a will, trusts, power of attorney, or advance health care directives. The goal of estate planning is to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes and in a manner that is both tax-efficient and efficient for your beneficiaries. Estate planning can also help to minimize conflict and confusion among your loved ones and provide peace of mind for both you and your family.

Estate administration refers to the process of managing the assets and liabilities of a deceased person. It involves collecting and distributing the assets of the estate, paying debts and taxes, and resolving any legal or administrative issues that may arise. The goal of estate administration is to ensure that the deceased person’s assets are distributed according to their wishes in a manner that complies with North Carolina law, and that their debts and taxes are paid in a timely and orderly manner.
