Testimonials

"I wanted expert legal advice and I certainly got it!"

"Oxner Thomas Permar has a well-known reputation for fighting fair and winning cases.  We were well-prepared by our attorney, and we were given thorough guidance and options."

"I think of everyone involved on my case at OTP as friends.  You all always had a warm greeting  and a smile for me and you took a big interest in my case."

"Without my attorney's help, I would have been hung out to dry.  He looked out for me!"

"I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my case!  Amy Berry and Amy Gallimore are great communicators.  They are super friendly and professional."

"Everyone on the team was really personable and professional."

"Count me as 100% satisfied.  Kristin Packard is superb and Shelby Duncan is outstanding."

"The quick response and action by Justin Wraight when my case came to a critical point was impressive."

"I didn't have to deal with a bunch of legal jargon.  You explained it all to me so I could understand what was going on, and I appreciate that."

"Everybody was totally straight forward with me.  I didn't feel like I was just paperwork to them."

Information for injured workers in North Carolina

Q: What can you tell me about an Expedited Reinstatement (EXR)?

A: If you return to work and eventually lose your disability benefits because you are making above the income threshhold, but later have a medical condition that is the same or is related to your original disabling impairment, you may be eligible for reinstatement without a new application. 

In order to qualify for reinstatement, your previous enrollment in Disability benefits must have ended because your earned income was above the SGA ($1,000/month gross in 2010) and you must not be performing SGA in the month you ask for EXR nor be able to work at SGA because of your medical condition.  Your request for EXR must be within five years from the date your Disability benefits were terminated.
