Law Firm of Robinson Bradshaw
Robinson Bradshaw has a long history of working with the North Carolina Justice Center on critical cases affecting people with low incomes in North Carolina. The firm recently served as counsel with the NCJC and CCLA in a class action filed against Lake Arbor, a large apartment complex in Mecklenburg County. Julian H. Wright, Jr., the Robinson Bradshaw attorney who worked on the case and was actively engaged in the litigation, was essential to our victory on the tenants’ behalf. Robinson Bradshaw has also served as lead counsel in another significant case, Hyatt v. Shalala, a class action filed on behalf of North Carolina’s disabled citizens against the Social Security Administration. Robinson Bradshaw prosecuted the case through its 20-year run in the federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, approximately 150,000 North Carolinians won new disability hearings under new standards, and the Social Security Administration revised a national regulation on disability. Due to their devotion, determination, and advocacy, the North Carolina Justice Center is proud to be in partnership with Robinson Bradshaw.
