Edwards Kirby, LLP Leaders in Personal Injury

“Legendary” USA Today
“Exceptionally Talented” NY Times

Raleigh Personal Injury Lawyers

Serving All of North Carolina

Edwards Kirby is led by two of the most well-known and acclaimed litigators in America, former U.S. Senator John Edwards, and David Kirby. Both are considered among the top 100 plaintiffs’ attorneys in the country. They have spent the past 25 years fighting for justice on behalf of the injured, defenseless, and voiceless inside and outside of this great nation’s courtrooms.

If you have been seriously injured in a truck accident or other type of traffic accident, have lost a loved one due to another’s negligence, or have a child who has suffered a birth injury, we are here to help you. We handle a wide range of practice areas involving catastrophic personal injuries, wrongful death, employment law, eminent domain, and civil rights issues across North Carolina.

It takes a powerful firm to stand up against large insurance companies even with all the resources. Edwards Kirby is that firm. Our Raleigh personal injury attorneys have fought for our clients against the most challenging opponents, setting state records for the largest personal injury verdict, largest personal injury settlement, largest medical malpractice verdict, and the national record for the largest workplace violence verdict.

We only accept a small number of very serious cases. That allows us to give personal attention to each of our clients, and to apply the full force of our resources and skill to every case. Personal attention and client service are at the forefront of our concerns, as we know how important a caring approach can be during difficult times. We are here to help and support you.

Call us today at (919) 335-7005 to speak with a member of our team for your free consultation.
You don't pay unless we win.

Edwards Kirby in a Meeting

Our Firm’s History

Edwards Kirby was founded in 1993 by best friends David Kirby and John Edwards, who had been leading lawyers in their own respective firms. Since Edwards Kirby’s beginnings, it has taken up the cause of regular people faced with injustice, concentrating its practice on those who have suffered serious injury or wrongs through another’s negligence or misconduct. Our lawyers have won hard-fought victories in state and federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, and have been repeatedly recognized by their peers as being among the best lawyers in the country. For those seeking a proven advocate, we believe there is no better counsel than the nationally-acclaimed team at Edwards Kirby.
