Services
We believe it is important to take time to talk with our clients, to be available and listen to the concerns of each client. While there are shared circumstances between our clients, each client brings a unique set of concerns and priorities. It's essential for us, as your attorney, to hear and understand these issues, not only during the outset of the matter but throughout the course of representation.
Lou is a life-long North Carolina resident, raised in Fayetteville. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his law degree from Campbell University. From the initial steps of his professional career, he has worked in the courtroom. He served as an assistant district attorney in Mecklenburg County.
Lindsey is a North Carolina resident, raised in Denver. She graduated from Lenoir Rhyne University and received her law degree from Charlotte School of Law. In Law School, Lindsey participated in the Self Serve Clinic for Pro Bono and developed a love of family law.

However, Lindsey's initial step in her legal career was with Shapiro & Ingle, focusing in real estate matters- foreclosures, real estate title, bankruptcy and representation of lender's rights in contested hearings.Lindsey traveled the state representing her clients' interests in hearings throughout the state.
Lindsey genuinely cares about who she is representing and I feel like she fought for me when I was not in a place where I could fight for myself. Lou helped me at the worst time of my life, and he was available at all times to help me through such a difficult time dealing with a Workers Comp case.
The legal professionals at Waple & Houk PLLC are here to help employees in Charlotte with the workers' compensation claims process. North Carolina has specific laws and statutes designed to protect employee rights in the instance of a workplace injury. Many of these laws are outlined in the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act (NCWCA).

Mr.Waple & Sarah did an outstanding job with my case. When I called Lou for advice on an on job injury, Lou walked me through every step. After that first call to his office I knew I was in good hands. Lou & his team worked hard and always kept me updated on everything. Thank you Lou & Sarah for doing an outstanding job on getting my Workman Comp case settled.

I was awarded spousal support from my ex who was represented by this attorney in 2018. She failed to submit the paperwork to my ex’s former employer in a timely manner and as of this date 7/1:21 I am still waiting to receive my first payment. She doesn’t return calls and ignores my numerous requests for help

I've been working with Lindsey (Houk) on a family law matter the last few months. Lindsey and the firms' amazing paralegal have guided me through every step of the legal process from the initial consult, to mediation, and to successful resolution! Lindsey advocated for my child's needs and represented me well. Attorney Houk is honest, realistic, compassionate, knowledgeable, professional and responsive.

This law office took a great burden off of me and got me I would have to say 3 times more on my settlement than any other law office I discussed my case with. It’s like working with a part of your family. I highly recommend this lawyer to everyone they are the best, if they had a 10 star rating I would give them a 10. Before you call another lawyer about a worker’s compensation claim or any type of claim CALL THIS OFFICE FIRST YOU WON’T REGRET IT.
I can’t say thank you enough,

Mr. Waple and his staff were very professional, attentive, thorough, effective and efficient while handling my case. Mr. Walple and his staff kept me informed and always followed up with me frequently. He always listened, paid attention to detail, and explained anything I had questions or concerns about. My case was handled in a timely manner with a positive outcome. I was referred to Mr. Waple and I would definitely recommend him!

I would definitely refer anybody who needs help with their workers compensation to Waple & Houk. Everyone you talk to will be understanding and will go through all your paperwork and go over any questions you may have. Mr. Waple was very dedicated to resolving my case for my benefit. I was talking to Mr. Waple months before I hired him. He didn't pressure me to hire him. When I decided to hire him to help me he took the bulls by their horns and handled business that best accommodated my needs and life. Very caring and straight forward. Will send the office Christmas cards every year for changing

€I can not thank Lindsey enough for representing me in one of the most stressful and toughest times of my life.
She stood by my side as my defense/divorce attorney and I’m forever grateful for her. She knows the law, was very prepared, and stayed cool, calm, and collective throughout the whole process. She never doubted me and stuck to the facts.
I highly recommend her to anyone “thinking” they may need a lawyer.
I assure you that you do not want to walk in that courtroom and face a judge alone no matter if you are 100% innocent and no matter your story/situation.
Thank you again Lindsey

Lou was absolutely Amazing!
I live in Greenville N.C and he is located out of Charlotte N.C. The distance was never a problem. I was so lucky to find him!
I originally was using a local firm in my area but I was not satisfied. I never got to talk with my previous attorney prior to mediation. My previous attorney tried to get .me to settle for 10,000. I did not accept so i hired Lou and Lou got me 90000 plus some depositions paid. That is almost 10 times as much then my previous attorney. Lou gave me his personal cell number and text or called me back if I had any questions. I would highly recommend
