Skilled and professional guidance through a complex termination case

I engaged Michael McKnight at Ogletree Deakins after a former employee filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against my small business. While the firm is large, Michael provided direct, accessible counsel. His deep knowledge of North Carolina employment law was immediately evident, and his recognition in Employment Law - Management by Best Lawyers was well-earned. He expertly navigated us through the discovery process, crafting a defense that was both thorough and pragmatic. His advice on settlement negotiations was particularly valuable, ultimately leading to a favorable resolution that avoided a costly trial. The only slight drawback was that during particularly busy periods, response times could stretch to a day or two, but his follow-up was always comprehensive. For any business facing labor or employment litigation in the Charlotte area, Michael McKnight is a highly capable and strategic choice.
