About our attorneys:

Ronnie Monroe Mitchell is a founding member of the firm. An honors graduate of Wake Forest University and the Wake Forest University School of Law, Ronnie Mitchell has served as an adjunct professor of law at the Norman A. Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University while continuing the practice of law. He has been named to the Best Lawyers in America, Who's Who in American Law, and he has received many other professional recognitions. Ronnie Mitchell has handled many personal injury and criminal cases, and he has been involved in reaching some of the largest settlements ever recovered in civil lawsuits in Cumberland County, North Carolina.

For more than twenty-two years, Ronnie Mitchell has been involved in complex criminal and civil litigation, including, automobile collisions, tractor-trailer litigation, civil rights, police brutality and premises liability cases. He has aggressively pursued litigation against corporations and others who have injured people negligently or deliberately, obtaining settlements and verdicts in favor of injured and deceased individuals and their families.

Ronnie Mitchell has been a successful appellate attorney as well, handling in excess of 100 appeals, some on behalf of his own clients and many more at the request of other attorneys who asked for his help in handling appeals. He has also been recognized for his work as an appellate and trial lawyer in a myriad of cases, including personal injury, insurance, equitable distribution, divorce and criminal cases.

He has served as a contributor, author or co-author of more than fifty legal publications, and he has been a lecturer for a vast number of continuing legal education programs. He is a member of the American Bar Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the North Carolina Bar Association, the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and a number of other professional organizations.

 

Coy E. Brewer, Jr. formerly served as the Senior Resident Superior Court Judge of the Twelfth Judicial District for the State of North Carolina. After graduating from Wake Forest University and the University OF North Carolina School of Law, and being appointed as one of the youngest judges ever to serve on the North Carolina trial bench, Coy E. Brewer, Jr., served as the chief Superior Court Judge in Cumberland County, North Carolina, until he reached age 50. Then, in 1998, after serving as a trial judge in hundreds of civil and criminal cases, many of which were highly publicized and received national notoriety and even national broadcast on Court TV as well as other publications, Judge Brewer decided to return to private practice. As a partner in the law firm, he has successfully represented injured persons in the recovery of extremely large verdicts and settlements in civil cases and he has successfully defended many serious criminal cases including first degree murder prosecutions. He is extremely well experienced in personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits.

 

William O. Richardson has been engaged in the practice of law in Cumberland County for more than twenty years. Billy served, first, as an Assistant District Attorney and, later as a prominent criminal defense attorney and as a successful plaintiff's attorney in civil cases. A 1977 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a member of the first graduating class of the Norman A. Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University, Billy Richardson has had a great impact on those seeking justice in North Carolina.

Billy has been a tireless defender of the rights of people. A part of that work was chronicled in Scott Whisnant's book, Innocent Victims, which was later developed into a four-hour ABC mini series, starring Rick Schroeder as Richardson, in 1996.

Billy Richardson has continued to be involved in complex criminal and civil litigation, including automobile collisions, tractor-trailer litigation, civil rights, police brutality and premises liability cases. He has aggressively pursued litigation against national corporations and franchisers, obtaining settlements and verdicts in favor of injured and deceased individuals and their families.

After serving two terms in the North Carolina legislature (1992-1996), Billy Richardson chose not to run for re-election so that he could devote his time fully to the representation of injured people. He is listed in The Best Lawyers in America and he is a member of the North Carolina Bar Association, the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America as well as a number of local bar associations and political and civil organizations.
