I grew up in the suburbs of Memphis Tennessee, and like many people here in Charlotte, I relocated to North Carolina after completing my graduate studies. In law school I spent my time studying and working at my internships. Unlike most of my classmates, I attended law school after completing a postgraduate degree and entering the workforce. My postgraduate studies were focused in criminology and criminal justice, in which I largely focused on studying the generational transmission of domestic violence. I had every intention of then pursuing a career in law enforcement after law school, and spent my law school years working at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I also interned at a well-established family law firm before receiving my law license. Following law school I decided to practice law for a period of time before planning on returning to the Bureau. It was during this time that I decided to commit to the practice of law. I worked at the firm I had interned at and another highly respected family law firm in Charlotte before opening Freedom Law | North Carolina. While I am grateful for my past opportunities and the experience I gained from my former positions, over the years I realized there is a disconnect between the traditional ways of practicing law and meeting today’s clients’ needs. If I were a client, I would not only want an attorney who is competent and able to handle my case, I would want an attorney that I could relate to and really feel like my story is important. That is what I hope to bring to my clients at Freedom Law | North Carolina. It is your life, your path, and your choice. I’m just here to help guide you through it.

Michael A. DeMayo is the founding and managing partner of DeMayo Law Offices, LLP (DLAW) and DeMayo Law Group, PLLC (exclusively focused on the Camp Lejeune Litigation). Since opening our Personal Injury, Consumer Protection, and Complex Mass Torts Law Practices over thirty years ago, his vision statement has been squarely focused on putting the needs and interests of our clients and team members first. He explains that he had a very simple and understandable vision for his plaintiffs’ law firm from day one, “Put our clients’ and team members’ interests first, and everything else will follow!” Mr. DeMayo understands that the world is a rapidly changing place and that technology coupled with social media drives both perception and “reality” for much of our society. Often justice and equality does not balance out for individuals when in competition against powerful corporate interests, and sometimes the only option for many is to turn to DLAW as the equalizer. DLAW’s role and responsibility is holding powerful industries and corporations accountable to individuals for the harm they cause. Our mission is to represent individuals and family members that have suffered serious catastrophic personal injuries and significant economic loss or have been killed as a result of the negligence and damage that it has caused. Mr. DeMayo reminds us that it’s a right that we all have to live free from harm and injury. Moreover, when big companies put “profits over people”, bad things happen! DLAW ensures that we hold those that cause the harm accountable because after all: “A right without a remedy is just a suggestion™!” Mr. DeMayo understands that everyone that comes to DLAW is a victim: individuals injured in serious automobile accidents or tractor trailer cases, catastrophic personal injuries, groups of people harmed by medical devices, dangerous and defective pharmaceutical products, chemical exposure cases, brain injury and wrongful death lawsuits, workers’ compensation claims, mass tort litigation, and more. Mr. DeMayo and DLAW have been recognized for their work in the Carolinas and across the Nation. Our unique team of dedicated attorneys, paralegals, and medical professionals have been consistently recognized as the leaders in Personal Injury and Consumer Law. Over the years, the DLAW team has grown to over 130 legal professionals. Our experienced team has helped over 132,000 individual clients and their families from across the United States recover over One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000.00) in total verdicts and settlements for their cases. Our main office is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, but we have additional locations in Hickory and Monroe, NC as well as Columbia, South Carolina. We plan to open expansion offices in Eastern North Carolina in the near future. Additionally, DLAW and DeMayo Law Group, PLLC maintains established co-counsel and collaborative relationships with over 50 national and regional law firms across the country allowing us to assist individuals with their Mass Torts, Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, and Camp Lejeune Cases in almost every jurisdiction across the country.
