Your Hometown Legal Team
The Downer Law Firm, P.A. has been a staple of the Charlotte legal community since 1979, serving as a trusted advocate for injured North Carolinians. Founded by Thomas T. Downer, a native Charlottean with over 50 years of legal experience, the firm prides itself on being the "Hometown Legal Team." This family-oriented practice, which includes his son Andrew T. Downer, offers a level of personal connection and stability that out-of-town firms simply cannot match. They understand that when you are injured, you need more than just a lawyer; you need a neighbor who cares about your recovery and your future.
Focused Injury Representation
The firm concentrates its practice on helping those who have been harmed by the negligence of others:
- Personal Injury: fighting for victims of slip and falls, dog bites, and other accidents to ensure they are fully compensated for their pain and suffering.
- Car Accidents: Handling complex motor vehicle claims, including rear-end collisions and distracted driving cases.
- Workers’ Compensation: Assisting employees injured on the job in navigating the state’s compensation system to secure medical benefits and lost wages.
- Wrongful Death: providing compassionate legal support to families who have lost a loved one due to fatal accidents.
- Premises Liability: Holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions that lead to injury.
