William K. Goldfarb

Mr. Goldfarb was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 25, 1964. His father Carl, an attorney practicing in Charlotte at that time, inspired his son to always seek truth and justice for those who had no voice. With those principles in mind, Mr. Goldfarb began his formal education attending North Carolina State University where he studied Political Science on a gymnastics scholarship. After his undergraduate studies were completed, Mr. Goldfarb was accepted into the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University, graduating in 1991. While at Campbell, Mr. Goldfarb had an outstanding record and was the recipient of the American Juris Prudence Book Award in Torts. Mr. Goldfarb also served as both member of the Honor Court Review Board and as the Chief Justice of the Honor Court.

After his Juris Doctor, Mr. Goldfarb began practicing law in 1991 and founded his own firm on March 18, 1996, dedicating his practice to helping seriously injured people. Over the years, Mr. Goldfarb has been a leading member of the legal community serving as a founding member and past president of the Mecklenburg Trial Lawyers Association. Mr. Goldfarb is also an active member of the Union County Bar Association, North Carolina Bar Association, American Association for Justice, and the North Carolina Advocates for Justice. In the legal review publication, North Carolina Lawyers Weekly, Mr. Goldfarb has twice been featured for highly publicized cases in Volume 15, No. 25, in the September 9, 2002 edition article entitled, “Manager’s Failure to Stop Fight Exposed Company to Punitives” and Volume 18, No. 3, in the April 4, 2005 edition article entitled, “Motorist gets $975,000 Settlement For Injuries From DWI Accident.”

Through his practice, Mr. Goldfarb has significantly impacted personal injury law in North Carolina through the North Carolina Court of Appeals. The Appelate Court’s decisions in favor of Mr. Goldfarb’s argument in both Lora Robinson & Christy Robinson v. Tamela Shue(1) and Miller v. B.H.B. Enterprises, Inc., d/b/a/ Vinnie's Sardine Grille and Raw Bar(2)   forever changed North Carolina laws to reflect a more fair and equitable legal system for all.

Mr. Goldfarb has restricted his practice to helping people who have been injured by the negligence of others with areas of practice including personal injury, worker's compensation, and professional negligence.

Over the years, Mr. Goldfarb has sought to share his considerable experience and expertise in the legal field with fellow attorneys and the public. As an educator, Mr. Goldfarb has had the honor of serving as both a guest speaker and keynote speaker for several continuing legal education seminars in North Carolina, including the annual North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyers. Mr. Goldfarb also continues to educate the public through a series of radio interviews through the Monroe Broadcasting Company Inc, on 1190AM. These interviews cover a wide variety of legal issues important to the public spanning from developments in the General Assembly to matters involving Workers Compensation.

Mr. Goldfarb believes that justice starts within the community itself. Philanthropy is an extremely important part or Mr. Goldfarb’s legal practice, Turning Point, a non-profit group for turning our community away from domestic violence and the American Red Cross are just some of the benefactors of charitable gifts by Mr. Goldfarb’s firm. Most recently, a large number of firm staff, including Mr. Goldfarb, participated in and helped sponsor the Union County Earth Day and 5K Run, an event to help promote community awareness of environmental issues. Mr. Goldfarb is continually committed to giving back to the community in all aspects. His firm is truly a community sponsor and is always looking for ways to assist people in need beyond the courtroom.

Thankfully most people have never had to file a personal injury claim with an insurance company. However, many victims of serious personal injuries are often surprised at how they are treated by insurance companies. Many insurance companies have hundreds of people working for them attempting to reduce the value of the injured parties claim. Insurance companies often have legal teams working for them; shouldn’t you have a strong advocate looking out for your interests? Please don’t take on the insurance companies and the legal system alone. Find an experienced and caring team of legal professionals like Mr. Goldfarb and his staff to help guide you through such troubling times. Through his firm and years of experience, Mr. Goldfarb continually seeks to help improve our legal system and to ensure that justice is fairly rendered to those in need.
