Our manufacturing company faced a complex workers' compensation claim that threatened significant financial exposure. We engaged Matthew Covington based on his specific recognition in Workers' Compensation Law - Employers, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation, his deep understanding of North Carolina's employer-side workers' comp landscape was evident. He didn't just react to the claim; he conducted a thorough investigation of the incident, reviewed all our safety protocols, and crafted a proactive defense strategy. His approach was both meticulous and pragmatic, clearly born from his years of experience since graduating from Elon University School of Law. Matthew managed all communications with the opposing counsel and the Industrial Commission with a professionalism that protected our interests while maintaining a respectful process. The result was a favorable settlement that was far better than we anticipated, saving our company from a costly protracted dispute. His recognition by Best Lawyers in 2024 and 2025 is clearly well-deserved. For any Charlotte-area business needing a strategic and knowledgeable advocate in employer workers' compensation matters, I cannot recommend Matthew B. Covington highly enough.
