Attorney Information
Overview
Lou is a life-long North Carolina resident, raised in Fayetteville. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his law degree from Campbell University. From the initial steps of his professional career, he has worked in the courtroom. He served as an assistant district attorney in Mecklenburg County. From there, Lou joined a small but growing civil litigation defense firm in 2001, where he started his workers' compensation practice, representing employers and insurance companies throughout the state. He was a partner in what became a large multi-state civil litigation firm. In 2008, Lou joined a growing statewide personal injury firm, where he opened and managed the Charlotte office, and helped injured employees pursue their workers' compensation claims against their employers and the insurance carriers. The time working and serving clients in large, volume practices, on both sides of workers' compensation issues, provided invaluable experience that Lou now shares within a smaller practice setting, one with less volume but more client accessibility. In addition to the central focus on workers' compensation, Lou expanded his practice in 2013 to become a mediator, to help parties resolve their Workers' Compensation Litigation.
Just like many members of our community, Lou is active in community organizations to include his church, the Mecklenburg County Bar and coaching youth sports. He has enjoyed his time serving on Mecklenburg County Bar's Grievance and Fee Dispute Committees.
