Lanier Law Group

What Lanier Law Group does

Lanier Law Group, P.A. is a North Carolina-based personal injury litigation firm founded in 1997 by Lisa Lanier and headquartered in Asheville. The firm operates as a Professional Association (P.A.) under North Carolina law, providing contingency-fee legal representation to individuals injured due to the negligence of others. It operates nine staffed offices across North Carolina (Asheville, Burlington, Charlotte, Durham, Fayetteville, Greensboro, Greenville, Raleigh, and Wilmington) supported by an in-house 24/7 call center and offers free initial consultations with weekend and on-location appointments available.

The firm's practice spans core personal injury (motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, catastrophic injury, wrongful death), medical malpractice, birth injuries, nursing home negligence, product liability, sexual abuse and assault litigation under the SAFE Child Act, workers' compensation, Social Security Disability claims, and veterans disability. Technology is limited to standard legal case management and client services software; there are no proprietary AI, API, or platform products. The firm employs over 70 lawyers and legal professionals and has secured notable case outcomes including a $12.5 million settlement for NC School of the Arts sexual abuse survivors (June 2024), $5.95 million for permanent brain failure, $4.8 million for disease exposure, $4.3 million for a commercial vehicle collision, and $3.1 million for a birth injury.

Lanier Law Group generates revenue on an outcome-based contingency fee model: clients pay no legal fees unless the firm wins. Demand generation is anchored by Lisa Lanier's recurring radio appearances on multiple North Carolina programs, complemented by an active blog, bilingual 'In Your Corner' email newsletter, downloadable resource packets, community outreach at homeless shelters, and presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. The firm is privately held, founder-controlled, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed. Customer base consists entirely of individual personal injury claimants across North Carolina, with no enterprise or institutional clients.
