Mr. Covington and his team did an outstanding job representing my wife and me after we were rear-ended at high speed by a drunk driver. The accident totaled our vehicle and left us both with significant injuries. From the very beginning, Mr. Covington and his team took control of every aspect of our claims, allowing us to focus on what mattered most, our recovery. Without naming the insurance company involved, I can say they were far from willing to pay what we rightfully deserved. Fortunately, the Covington Law team was relentless. They fought aggressively on our behalf, refused to let the insurance company take advantage of us, and ultimately secured the compensation we deserved. Throughout the entire process, their professionalism, communication, experience, and dedication gave us complete confidence that we were in excellent hands. If you are looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and aggressive attorney who will truly fight for your best interests, I highly recommend Mr. Covington and his entire team. Thank you, Covington Law, for standing up for us and delivering outstanding results!

I cannot thank Drew and The Covington Law Office enough for everything they did to help me with my car-accident case. Drew was professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the process. He worked hard on my behalf and helped bring my case to a successful resolution. Going through an accident and everything that follows can be stressful, but I was grateful to have an attorney and firm working for me who cared about the outcome of my case. I truly appreciate Drew’s guidance, dedication, and the work his entire firm put in on my behalf. I would absolutely recommend The Covington Law Office to anyone needing representation for a car-accident case.

I can't recommend Covington Law Office enough. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. The team maintained constant communication every step of the way, always keeping us informed and making sure we understood what was happening. What impressed me most was how they consistently went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They truly fought for my mom and worked tirelessly to ensure she received the compensation she deserved for her personal injury case. They didn't settle for less, they fought to get us top dollar based on everything she had been through, and we couldn't be more grateful for the outcome. Beyond the results, what really stood out was the genuine care and compassion they showed my mom during such a stressful time. We never felt like just another case. We felt supported, heard, and valued throughout the entire process. If you're looking for a law firm that is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly advocates for their clients, I highly recommend Covington Law. Thank you for taking such great care of my mom and delivering an outstanding experience.

Quick answers for Durham clients. Don’t see your question? Call (919) 283-2834.

Check your notice first. The Durham County Courthouse has a paid parking deck next door with accessible spaces on each level, and the City of Durham lists its garages and lots on Park Durham. The courthouse page lists accessibility details.

The North Carolina Judicial Branch posts Durham County local rules and forms. For questions about where to file, call the Durham County Courthouse at (919) 808-3000.

Use the North Carolina Judicial Branch’s Durham County page to open the court date search. If the date or courtroom is unclear, check your notice and call the courthouse at (919) 808-3000. For a criminal matter, keep the case number, listed charge, and next court date handy when you call us.

If you have them, gather the date and location, the crash report number, photos, and the names of the agencies or insurers involved. If an agency other than Durham Police responded, such as the Durham County Sheriff’s Office or the State Highway Patrol, note its name with the report number. You can still call if you’re waiting for a report or other documents.

Have the citation available when you call. Tell us the county and court date printed on it, the listed violation, and whether you hold a commercial driver’s license or drive for work. Many Durham County infractions and minor traffic offenses are set in Administrative Traffic Court on the courthouse’s third floor.

Yes. North Carolina law generally sets a three-year limitations period for many personal injury claims under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-52. The type of claim and other facts can change the deadline or when it starts to run. Ask an attorney to review the dates that apply to your situation.

Call (919) 283-2834 or use the consultation form. Tell the intake team what kind of matter you have and whether you have a deadline. Ask about appointment options and any consultation fee for your matter.
