Workplace injuries are, unfortunately, a common occurrence in North Carolina. Luckily, North Carolina put in place a Worker’s Compensation scheme designed to provide benefits to employees injured on the job in order to help them with their recovery. The specific law that puts this system in place is Chapter 97 of the North Carolina General Statues, better known as the "Worker’s Compensation Act."Real Estate, Land Use, & Zoning

Federal and State laws provide social security benefits for individuals with a disabling condition that prevents them from working. The term "disability" is defined to cover specific types of conditions, all of which must be expected to last at least one year or result in death. The Social Security Administration maintains a list of criteria that are applied to a disabling condition to determine whether said condition constitutes a total disability. These criteria can be complicated to understand, but the Attorneys at Pope McMillan can help evaluate your injury to determine whether you and your family members are entitled to benefits as a result of your condition.Traffic Citations/Tickets
The Attorneys at Pope McMillan, P.A. have extensive experience handling traffic tickets and citations for drivers from across the country. The city of Statesville sits at the intersection of Interstate 77 and Interstate 40, roadways that see millions of drivers a year. Being located in such an area means that drivers from across the nation pass through Statesville every day. This also means that some of those drivers receive traffic citations, along with many local drivers who also receive tickets. The Attorneys at Pope McMillan can help these drivers by fighting tickets, having traffic-related charges reduced, or getting those charges dismissed all together.Business Law
