Firm Information
Overview
At Horton & Mendez Attorneys at Law, PLLC, we proudly serve clients across North Carolina through nine office locations statewide, making experienced legal help accessible no matter where you are. We are a bilingual law firm, offering services in both English and Spanish to better serve our diverse communities and ensure every client fully understands their case and their rights.
Our firm is built around one core idea: “We Know Their Playbook.”
That means we understand how insurance companies operate because our attorneys have worked with and against them. We know the strategies insurers use to delay, deny, and undervalue claims—and we use that insider knowledge to level the playing field for injured clients.
After an injury, insurance companies are often responsible for paying medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. Unfortunately, they frequently try to settle claims for far less than what victims are legally entitled to recover. Our team fights to change that.
We work on a no fees unless you win basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you.
We represent clients in serious and complex injury cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Drunk driving accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Birth injuries
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
- Premises liability (slip and fall / unsafe property)
- Construction accidents
- Workers’ compensation claims
- Wrongful death cases
Catastrophic injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and medical negligence can permanently change a person’s life. Our mission is to hold negligent parties accountable and help clients recover the compensation they need to move forward.
Every case begins with a free, no-obligation consultation, where we listen to your story, explain your options clearly, and outline a strategy tailored to your situation. For convenience, we offer virtual consultations.
