Our Law Firm Has Been Serving Pitt County And All Of North Carolina Since 1981
We’ve all seen it, personal injury law firms plastering their ads all over the television, phone books and just about everywhere you look. The goal of most of these firms is to accept every case they can find and then settle them as quickly as possible for whatever the insurance company says they’ll pay. We call these “factory” firms because they treat their clients the same way insurance companies treat you – like a claim number instead of a human being. They want to work every client through their system as fast as possible, with very little involvement from an actual lawyer.
This is not us – in fact, we are quite the opposite.
Since 1981, attorney Charles Hardee has developed a statewide reputation of helping injured people and protecting the rights of injured victims from insurance companies. To continue this mission, Charles partnered with his son-in-laws, attorneys Brack Massey and Kyle Blodgett, to form the law firm of Hardee, Massey & Blodgett, LLP.

Maximizing Legal Efficacy Through Co-Counsel Agreements
While we are proud of the legal and informational resources we have cultivated over the years, certain cases call for a larger team approach. We eagerly reach out to other law firms or accept offers from other law firms when a co-counsel agreement would increase legal efficacy and maximize value for clients.
Each co-counsel agreement is unique and purpose-specific, but it all begins with an open discussion between parties. If you are interested in collaborating with our skilled and experienced attorneys, please contact us to discuss details. We look forward to hearing from you.
Giving And Receiving Client Referrals
Sometimes, the best way to serve a client is to connect them with a different attorney whose practice or approach better aligns with their needs. Many lawyers are understandably hesitant to risk losing business, but we know that if done correctly, referral partnerships can be advantageous for all parties involved.
When we believe that a potential client would benefit from working with another law firm that we know and trust, we are happy to say so. We also understand that referrals tend to be a two-way street, so any business we may lose in referring a client may come back to us through another law firm’s referral.
If your law firm offers a niche practice area within personal injury or is related to the needs of personal injury clients, we welcome you to contact us about establishing a mutual referral relationship.
