Summary  of  Workers  Comp  Experience Practicing  attorney  in  North  Carolina  over  25  years.    Represented  plaintiffs  before  NCIC  for  the  past  8  years.    Participated  as  plaintiff/employee  representative  in  over  50  workers'  compensation  mediations.    I  have  handled  over  one  hundred  workers'  compensation  cases  for  plaintiff-employees,  including  several    dozen  hearings.    I  feel  I  have  the  ability  to  communicate  with  both  plaintiff  and  defense  attorneys,  as  well  as  insurance  representatives,  in  explaining  the  benefits  of  a  successful  mediation  result  versus  the  unpredictability  of  leaving  the  decision-making  in  the  hands  of  a  Deputy  Commissioner.    I  have  engaged  in  hundreds  of    civil  mediations  representing  a  party  and  thoroughly  understand  a  mediator's  perspective  on  a  case.    I  will  travel  to  the  following  counties:    Gaston,  Cleveland,  Rutherford,  Polk,  Iredell,  Lincoln,  McDowell,  Burke,  Catawba,  Alexander,  Watauga,  Wilkes,  Ashe,  Union,  Cabarrus,  Rowan,  Anson,  Richmond,  Moore,  Stanly,  Randolph,  Davie,  and  Forsyth.
