About Karonnie

“My job in helping my clients is one of the best parts of my day. All your preparation, time, and effort being put forward to do something that is worthy gives you the satisfaction to go home, look yourself in the mirror, and smile at who is looking back at you! It is great coming into work each day knowing that you have people with the same goals for helping our clients.”

As an attorney with a caring heart for helping people who are facing the difficulties resulting from injuries, Karonnie Truzy’s professional goal is to give his 100% effort to all cases and to have clients who walk away gratefully appreciating how their cases have been handled. His practice focuses on cases involving traumatic injury from automobile accidents including commercial motor vehicles, Section 1983 Excessive Police Force, automobile negligence, premises and/or construction liability, nursing home liability, and wrongful death cases.

Karonnie received his Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science and Government from the University of South Carolina Upstate as a basketball player and then earned his Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University School of Law. While at Wake Forest he was a member and Captain of the American Association for Justice Trial Team, was active in the Black Law Students Association, was a member of the Order of Barristers, and was named a 2001 Outstanding Advocate. Karonnie and his wife Ebony have a daughter and twin sons. He enjoys spending his free time serving on the Elder Board of Oak Springs Missionary Baptist Church, grilling in competitions, and watching and playing basketball.

His admissions and memberships include the North Carolina State Bar, the North Carolina Bar Association, the Guilford County Bar Association, and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice, the American Association for Justice Truck Litigation Group, the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys, and the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. He additionally serves on the Board of Governors and in the First Chair of Diversity for the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. His recognition by the National Trial Lawyers as a Top 40 Under 40 attorney and by the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum has resulted in numerous written and published articles in the North Carolina Advocates for Justice Trial Magazine and the American Association for Justice Truck Litigation magazine along with various speaking engagements throughout the country through the American Association for Justice Truck Litigation Group. Most recently, North Carolina Lawyers Weekly has selected Karonnie for its inaugural “Power List” of attorneys in North Carolina.
