Attorney List for Medicaid and Social Security Matters

DRNC provides this list as a resource. The people and organizations listed are not part of DRNC, and including them on this list does not mean that DRNC recommends or endorses them. DRNC cannot guarantee the quality of their services or be responsible for the services they provide.

The providers gave us the information listed about their experience, services, and languages spoken. You may want to contact the North Carolina State Bar or another licensing organization for more information about an attorney or other professional.

The list is in alphabetical order. The order does not mean that DRNC recommends one provider over another.

You will need to contact a provider directly to find out whether they can help you and what they charge for their services.

Important Note: Before making an appointment to see a lawyer on this list, first ask if you will be charged for the initial consultation, and if so, how much the fee will be for this service.
