What DeVore, Acton & Stafford, PA does

DeVore, Acton & Stafford, PA, operating under the consumer-facing brand DAS Law Group, is a 16-person plaintiff law firm headquartered at 438 Queens Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, organized as a North Carolina Professional Association. The firm represents individuals and businesses in North Carolina and South Carolina across a broad civil litigation practice, with core service lines in personal injury (including car, truck, motorcycle, and scooter accidents, as well as drunk driving, distracted driving, rear-end, and uninsured/underinsured motorist claims), medical malpractice, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and eminent domain and land condemnation (including inverse condemnation and utility easement matters). Secondary practices cover real estate and construction litigation, contract disputes, and mediation services. The firm markets its combined trial experience (100+ years) and an appellate footprint of 75+ cases in the North Carolina Court of Appeals, North Carolina Supreme Court, and Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, with documented outcomes including a $20M auto accident settlement, $10M paralysis settlement, $9M wrongful death verdict, and $2.1M construction wrongful death settlement.

The business model is overwhelmingly contingency-fee driven for personal injury work, with hourly or hybrid fee arrangements for civil litigation matters (real estate, construction, contract). Pricing is not publicly disclosed beyond a free initial consultation on injury cases. Go-to-market is sales-led and multi-channel: attorney referrals from across the region, organic search and website intake, prominent phone intake (704-742-2959), client testimonials, and a light social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. Distribution is direct via the Charlotte headquarters and named coverage locations across Gastonia, Huntersville, Shelby, and Matthews in NC, plus South Carolina.

Ownership is partner/family-controlled, with multiple DeVore family members among the named attorneys (Fred W. DeVore III, F. William (Will) DeVore IV) alongside Derek P. Adler. The firm operates as a professional association with no external private equity, venture, or institutional investment disclosed. Technology is described as litigation-support tooling to enable efficient case handling, but no specific AI, software platform, or proprietary technology capability is identified. The firm is actively operating with no M&A, funding, or leadership change events disclosed in the available data.
