Lennon, Camak & Bertics, PLLC

I'm very grateful for the outstanding work Neal and Michael did on my workers' comp case. They were extremely professional, always helpful, and made sure I understood every step of the process. Their dedication and communication made a difficult situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone needing workers' comp representation.

I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Michael Bertics of Lennon, Camak & Bertics, PLLC. He is, without question, the best disability attorney in North Carolina--and arguably the entire country. His intelligence, legal acumen, and unwavering commitment to his clients are unmatched. My Social Security Disability journey began in 2011. After repeated denials at every level--initial, reconsideration, and appeal--I contacted Attorney Bertics. He took on my complex case without hesitation. The process was long, difficult, and emotionally exhausting, but his professionalism and persistence never wavered. After my first hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, I was denied again. We appealed, and the case was remanded back to the same judge. Following that second hearing, Attorney Bertics wrote a post-hearing brief that, in my opinion as a former paralegal, was one of the most precise and compelling legal documents I've ever seen. He identified a critical legal error made by the judge and presented it so clearly there was no room for dispute. I had all but given up hope--until one day, completely unexpectedly, Attorney Bertics called to tell me I had received a fully favorable decision. I was stunned. His expertise had brought an end to a 10.5-year battle and secured my SSDI. After leaving my paralegal career, I became a registered nurse to put my early college medical education to use. Out of a sense of duty, I returned to work during COVID in a modified clinical role. Unfortunately, that decision caused me to lose both my SSDI and Medicare benefits. When my health significantly declined, I was forced to stop working again. While researching options, I discovered Expedited Reinstatement (EXR), but I was hesitant--convinced it would turn into another long, exhausting battle with an unlikely outcome. On a long shot, I reached out to Attorney Bertics. To my surprise, he responded after four years and spoke with me as though no time had passed. He remembered every detail about me and my case. He was kind, clear, and professional. He encouraged me to apply for EXR and assured me he'd support me if an appeal became necessary. I applied the next day--and was reinstated in just six weeks. Even Social Security staff were shocked by how fast the case moved. Once again, Attorney Bertics was right. His insight and guidance changed my life--again. If you are fortunate enough to have Attorney Bertics take your case, do not hesitate. He is brilliant, compassionate, and fiercely effective. I thank God for leading me to him and will forever be grateful. - FM

I worked with Mr. Camak and he was very helpful all throughout. He helped provide even better results than I was expecting at the end

I just want to share what an incredible experience we had with Lawyers Camak and Bertics. They did an outstanding job working within a difficult family dynamic to help us with our Father's COVID death claims. This was a highly complex and demanding case that they won for us. I have never experienced better client care and more personal attention from any other law firm before in my life. They are very forthright and upfront with you and they will fight for the best outcome for you. Their Paralegal Kathy is amazing and stayed in constant communication concerning the progress of our cases. You simply cannot do better than choosing their representation and they certainly have our family's deepest appreciation for all of their efforts on our behalf.

These guys are amazing! And so are their supportive team (shout out to Kathy Reynolds and truly every last team member as well, including the retired George Lennon!) Just the reassurance of having someone have your back when facing such difficulties as Workmen's Compensation and Social Security Disability is enough, but then to have them be so kind and understanding, and spill their own blood as well, is tremendous! It took a long time for my case to settle for a satisfactory result, and they supported me all along the way. I never felt like I was a burden with my questions and I felt they treated me as a family member they wanted to have the best possible outcome. I appreciated their honesty, tenacity, and transparency. Neal and Michael make a great team, and their partnership is quite unique and admirable. This firm is a kindred spirit to meet you where you are and pick you up and get you back on your feet again, all while navigating the dark and twisty path of red tape until finally reaching the light at the end of the tunnel. Ask for their help and you will surely get it, no false promises, just realistic support in defending you and helping in any way they can. And they will! M. Ellington
