Rona Esquejo-LeonGoogle review, September 2026

After being involved in a car accident in 2022, I was facing a difficult recovery and a situation I had never navigated before. From the start, Paynter Law made me feel that my case mattered when other firms didn't even return my calls.

Attorney Sara Willingham and paralegal Amber Pope were exceptional throughout the entire process. Because of my lengthy recovery, my case lasted several years, and they remained patient, professional, supportive, and responsive every step of the way. They took the time to answer my questions, explain what to expect, and provide the guidance I needed during a very challenging time.

I also appreciated the kindness and welcoming atmosphere created by Stewart Paynter and Erin Dotts. Everyone at the firm treated me with respect and compassion.

My case was recently resolved, and I was very happy with the outcome. I am truly grateful for the hard work, dedication, and support of the entire team. I highly recommend Paynter Law to anyone looking for a firm that genuinely cares about its clients.

Bonnie BaileyGoogle review, September 2026

Dear Paynter Law Firm Team,

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for your assistance following my car accident last November.

After the accident, my son-in-law recommended I seek legal counsel, and seeing your billboard felt like a sign from God to reach out. Choosing Paynter Law Firm was an outstanding decision. Your team worked seamlessly to guide me through the process and ensure I received the help I needed.

I especially want to thank Amber, Sarah, and Stuart. They were always punctual, accessible, and quick to respond whenever I had questions. I would highly recommend Paynter Law Firm to anyone in need of legal guidance after an accident.

Thank you again for your hard work and support.

Warm regards,

Bonita Bailey

Attorney Clifford and Mariely handled my issue quick and easy! Great firm!

Joanna AlleyGoogle review, July 2026

Sara Willingham is a superhero. I came to her with a case that was far from perfect and she got results. If anything ever happened again I would jump at the chance to have her represent me. Amber Pope has to be the most patient person in the world. She kept constant contact with me through the case and was so very kind. This is the law firm you want on your side.

I want to thank Sara and Amber for handling my case. They kept me informed as to what was going on. They were patient with me when I didn't understand certain things, and that in itself gave me peace of mind.

Paynter Law attorneys and staff were lifesavers for me. Exhausted from trying to recover from a personal injury case and trying to get compensation for medical expenses and injuries, they jumped in to help immediately when I contacted them and followed through with knowledge, experience, and compassion. A very trustworthy firm! Highly recommend.

Eric MillerGoogle review, August 2024

I brought Paynter Law an unusual case. The only thing that was clear was that I had been seriously injured, and that the injury had cost our family considerable pain, suffering, time and money.

Beyond that there was ambiguity. The case involved multiple parties pointing the finger elsewhere, the complexities of global commerce and nuanced points of law. In working through all that, Stuart Paynter and Sara Willingham took my case through two appeals clear to the NC Supreme Court.

They handled the case with top-flight legal strategy, preparation and creativity. They treated every aspect of our relationship with integrity and professionalism. They were always respectful. They were always patient, kind and generous with their time. They always explained what they were doing and why. They even provided resources that helped address repercussions from the injury that weren’t directly related to the case, but did directly impact our well being and peace of mind.

When David Larson (who was also great to work with) left the firm to take a position with the State Attorney General's office, there was absolutely no hiccup in passing the baton – none of the confusion or redundant effort or backtracking that almost always follows a staff change. They didn't miss a beat.

Across several years and sometimes disappointing turns of event, they never gave up. Paynter Law is a model law firm and has my unconditional endorsement.

Stuart, Sara and your team – you will always have our family's thanks and gratitude.

Jesus BarbosaGoogle review, May 2024

Paynter Law really took care of us after I had a pretty terrible accident. Sarah Willingham and Amber Pope worked so hard for me and answered all my questions and eased my concerns. We have never used a lawyer before and hopefully will never have to again but would completely trust them with everything in the future.

Yvonne LyonsGoogle review, September 2023

Thank you !!!!!

Christopher FreemanGoogle review, September 2023

Attorney Stuart Paynter provided me and my family with excellent service. After reviewing our situation in great detail, it was determined there was no case. Yet, we felt he handled our situation with care, while keeping us informed along the way.

Jim JGoogle review, June 2023

The morning after I had an unfortunate encounter with a moving vehicle, I could think of only two things - that the phrase "felt like being hit by a car" was woefully inadequate to the actual experience, and that I needed to find legal representation as soon as possible. This can't be an easy process no matter the situation, but my experience with Paynter was great; even through some staff turnover that happened in the months that followed. I never felt like something was missed, and I'm pleased with the outcome.

Ray CollinsGoogle review, May 2023

I had a great experience working with Sara and Amber on my case. They are very professional and went above and beyond to bring this case to a resolution for me. I highly recommend them to anyone needing legal help. Thank you both again!

Suzanne PrattGoogle review, May 2023

When noone else would take my case they did. David Larson thank u and Sara.

Thomas BolinGoogle review, April 2023

WOW JUST WOW!!!! FINALLY a TRULY CARING and TRUSTING Law Firm! Stuart and Sara as well as the rest of the Paynter Law Family are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL at what they do. My case was in shambles and getting worse! I thank God every single day for sending Stuart and his Special Forces to my aid. And from that very minute, I started to feel in a way that I hadn't felt in a very long time, and that was, everything is FINALLY going to be ALRIGHT! Not only is Stuart a pitbull lawyer for those seeking justice, He's also one for making sure that the responsible party or parties pay for it. No matter Who or What they are.Or Who or What they represent. Now that my friends, can be taken to the bank and cashed!!! Stuart and Sara, The Bolin Family want to truly wish you and yours a most happy and blessed filled life. As well as the rest of the Paynter Law Family. You helped give my family back some semblance of their daddy and husband, and for that We and I especially are and always will be Eternally Grateful. Y'all Rock!

With The Utmost Care and Respect,

The Bolin Family.

Rich CravenerGoogle review, February 2022

I worked with David Larson and as expected he moved mountains working on my case. Not only is David professional, communicative, and quick in response; he has made my experience fun and enjoyable rather than taxing as most lawyers do. I will be calling Davis FIRST in the future with any of my law needs.

Tony F.Google review, May 2021

I'll begin by saying the that the entire staff at Paynter Law was responsive and professional. David Larson handled my case and could not have been more professional and communicative. He will take the time to actually listen to you and give you answers you can understand in layman's terms.

If there are two pieces of advice I can give you. One, listen to the advice David gives you and two, be patient with your case. I would highly recommend David and the Paynter Law team for any personal injury representation.

Ray CollinsGoogle review, April 2021

Great communications! Very personable and stayed in constant communications with me even as I was recuperating from surgery due to my accident. Went above and beyond in working to litigate my case to get me the best settlement possible. I would recommend David as the best attorney to anyone I know that was injured or facing a lawsuit and seeking legal guidance. Thank you for all that you do, David!

Elissa MarkeyGoogle review, October 2020

Paynter Law is the best of the best. They are thoughtful, insightful, smart, ethical and committed to the well being of their clients. I give them the highest recommendation.

Andrew PolitiGoogle review, October 2020

The Paynter Law team are compassionate, consummate professionals with unapparelled dedication and expertise. Earlier this year they provided me with expert legal guidance on a personal injury matter (a serious car accident). I can't say enough good things about these lawyers... I definitely recommend them!

Marc GriffinGoogle review, October 2020

After I was involved in a bike accident and wasn't sure who to turn too. The Paynter Law Firm helped me through the process and put me at easy.

Geoffrey PecoverGoogle review, August 2019

I’ve always been very impressed with this firm and would recommend these attorneys to anyone in need.

Charles MorrisGoogle review, August 2019

I'm a local film maker and had a very tricky question that arose. I screened a film that I had made at a popular venue and some audience members were seen recording the majority of my film on their cell phones. I had zero idea what my rights were and what I could do about this. Stuart Paynter helped me get right down into the details and differences in Copyright Law vs. Intellectual Property Law. It was a huge help and I was able to determine my steps moving forward based upon that.

Bradley BakerGoogle review, January 2018

After being involved in an accident, I reached out to The Paynter Law Firm - they were quick, professional, and very personal - highly recommend this team.
