Civil Litigation is a term of art that describes the process of managing a legal dispute that is civil, as opposed to criminal, in nature. A civil litigator is a trial lawyer that focuses their experience and training on matters that have monetary damages attached to them. The term litigation applies to a broad range of disputes and can be corporate or personal in nature.
Stroke Victim Resident of a Nursing Home that Was Raped by Co-Resident Receives Large Confidential Settlement. Mr. Johnson's client was driving a Dodge pick-up truck northeasterly on the on-ramp for traffic exiting off of I-485 and onto I-77 north in Charlotte.

Stroke Victim Resident of a Nursing Home that Was Raped by Co-Resident Receives Large Confidential Settlement.

Your name and reputation are extremely important to you. Depending on your profession, your reputation may be one of your most valuable assets. If someone makes a false and defamatory statement about you to others, it can seriously damage you at work and in your personal life. You can be physically and emotionally injured, and in today's world, possibly permanently.
Are you getting the run-around from your insurance company on a claim you believe they should have settled? This is not uncommon. Insurance companies maximize their profit margin by making more money in policy premiums than they are required to pay in settlement of insurance claims. All too often insurance companies have an unspoken practice of denying claims they receive, hoping those who are denied settlement will give up and go away.

I came about Rusty Dement from my good friend , who handled my cases , Rick Gammon.
As Mr. Gammon is ‘ retired’ to only focus on very big single cases , I respect him and the whole team of litigators.
In my time of need, it’s not about emotions in my case, but facts.
As I was told “ education will set you
free” , my education has led me to Russel Dement III.

Jim Johnson represented me in a dog bite case. He went above and beyond in working with me, bringing my case to a conclusion that exceeded my expectations. He also supported my desire to help stop others from being attacked by the dog. He was unfailingly kind and extremely professional. I strongly recommend Jim and would definitely hire him again if needed.

Rusty DeMent is a very bad attorney. He will not help you with your legal matters, he uses his young associates to take the process through the courts be careful find a better attorney than Rusty DeMent. You go to his office and it's very impressive but he is a horrible horrible attorney find a better one. He does not represent his clients well I know this from two occasions. There are much better attorneys out there than rusty DeMent. I should have done my research be for using Rusty DeMent to represent my family member, You've been warned

I have used Rusty on a divorce case and have seen him in the court room helping people out. I can tell you he is one of the kindest and understanding attorney I know. He is about helping you out and always gives the best information for you. He is very knowledgeable on all laws. His team is one of the best in Wake County. I would use him every time I need a attorney. He is very good at motor vehicle laws and DWI's.

The Dement Askew Law Firm represented me in my divorce more than 17 years ago and their patience and guidance was priceless. Most recently I retired after thirty years as a North Carolina State Trooper and I witnessed first hand their diligence in court. From this professional relationship has developed a true friendship. I cannot say you will develop the same friendship but I can guarantee you will develop the same trust and professional relationship many have experienced.

I want to thank Mr. Dement for helping me out with my DWI case. I was truly not very optimistic in my chances with my case, but on the day of my trial Mr. Dement vigorously argued in my favor that the officer did not have probable cause for my arrest. Mr. Dement was very detailed in his cross examination of the officer and posed great doubt that he did have probable cause for my arrest. Ultimately Mr. Dement was able to get my DWI charge dropped and I was responsible for his fees and the court costs. I truly appreciate his efforts in saving me from a DWI conviction and everything unfortunate that
