About John

When you're injured by a doctor's mistake, a driver who is paying too much attention to the phone (and not enough to the road) or by a defective drug or a poorly made product, you need a passionate lawyer on your side. You want the experience to find the best solutions and the knowledge — and record — for success. At The Law Firm of John C. Hensley, Jr., P.C., that's what we do for you. For nearly a quarter century, we've been making sure injured North Carolinians get the compensation they deserve. We've committed our lives and our practice to fighting big hospitals, large insurance companies and giant corporations to make sure they are held accountable for their recklessness. If you've been injured because of someone else's negligence, we can help you take action.

Call us for an initial phone consultation at no cost to you. The majority of our cases are handled by contingency, which means we do not charge you until there is a recovery.
