What Maynard & Harris Attorneys At Law PLLC does

Maynard & Harris Attorneys At Law PLLC, now operating as the Law Offices of C. Douglas Maynard, Jr., PLLC (Maynard Law), is a Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based plaintiff law firm founded in 2001 and rebranded under the sole principal attorney's name in 2023. The firm concentrates on personal injury and workers' compensation representation for injured individuals across Forsyth, Davie, Yadkin, Stokes, and Davidson counties and throughout North Carolina. Service lines span auto collisions, motorcycle and tractor-trailer accidents, drunk driving and dram shop cases, wrongful death, premises liability/slip-and-fall, child/pedestrian/bicyclist injuries, insurance disputes (including UIM/UM), and mediation for workers' compensation matters. A bilingual paralegal supports a Spanish-language practice track.

The firm operates on a contingency fee model with no attorney fees unless the client recovers, complemented by a free initial consultation accessed via phone, website contact form, or attorney referral. Distribution is direct-to-consumer plus a peer-attorney referral network (notably including Delaware-based Kimmel Carter), with marketing supported by SEO-optimized website content, an active blog, and substantial legal-community positioning. Doug Maynard's career includes four years as an insurance adjuster prior to 30+ years of legal practice, a credentialed background reinforced by Super Lawyers (six consecutive years), Best Lawyers in America, Martindale-Hubbell AV, Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, ATAA membership, and a 2022 NCAJ Special Award; he has presented the NC insurance law update at NCAJ annually since 2008.

The firm is a micro-practice: one attorney (C. Douglas Maynard, Jr.) supported by two paralegals — Jeannie Chalkley (certified paralegal, 35 years' experience, with the firm since 2001, primarily handling workers' compensation) and Tammy Dean (17 years' experience, joined 2023, primarily handling personal injury and wrongful death). The firm is privately held and founder-owned with no outside funding, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed revenue. Notable case outcomes include a $10,000,000 wrongful death settlement (NC apartment fire, as lead co-counsel for two of four estates), a $544,872.50 motorcycle/UIM settlement for a retired Delaware state trooper injured by a drunk driver in Asheville, and a $250,000 auto accident settlement obtained through litigation after the initial claim was denied.
