Founded in 2020 by acclaimed attorneys Vernon and Christa Sumwalt, the firm builds on decades of combined legal experience. Vernon Sumwalt is a North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law, a distinction held by a select few. We understand that a workplace injury can threaten your livelihood and your future. Our team fights to ensure you receive the full benefits you are entitled to, including medical coverage and wage replacement.

Personal Injury and Appellate Practice
Beyond workers’ comp, The Sumwalt Group provides robust representation for victims of personal injury and wrongful death. We handle cases involving industrial accidents, trucking collisions, and third-party liability claims. What sets us apart is our deep expertise in appellate practice; we are prepared to fight for your rights not just at the hearing level, but through the appeals process if necessary. We work with a network of experts to build airtight cases that withstand scrutiny. When you order a lawyer from our firm, you are securing a partner who is committed to making the law make sense for you. We prioritize clear communication and strategic advocacy to get you back on your feet.
Modern, Accessible Legal Service
Our firm embraces modern technology to serve clients efficiently, offering virtual meetings and a streamlined digital experience. However, our physical office in The Refinery offers a professional and accessible hub for those who prefer face-to-face interactions.
