Capitol District Law Offices concentrates its practice in the following areas:

Plaintiff's Employment Law

The firm is primarily a practice that represents employees, whether the representation means helping employees prosecute matters against their employers (present or former) or defending actions by employers against them.  When we prosecute actions against employers, it is most often for sexual or racial harassment, discrimination in promotion and termination, and wrongful discharge against public policy. We also handle at-will employment issues and problems with covenants not to compete. The firm frequently represents people who suffer retaliation on the job.

Executive Severance

Executives come to the firm for help negotiating their severance and departure from their jobs. Mr. Weaver is experienced in helping executives evaluate what has happened to cause them to be leaving their employment. In some cases, the evaluation suggests the need to file law suits to obtain proper remedies for what has occurred. In other cases, the evaluation suggests that negotiation is the preferred strategy, perhaps because of an ongoing job search of the client or for other reasons.

Personal Injury

In addition to employment law, the firm represents individuals who have suffered serious personal injuries, whether from auto accidents, medical malpractice, or accidents or other incidents on the job.

False Claims Act Cases

A number of individuals who have felt that they suffered retaliation on the job have experienced such harassment as a result of their having reported improper and illegal activities of their employer. Sometimes these individuals are found to have False Claims Act cases. These claims are suits brought on behalf of the United States when the employer has been submitting false claims for payment to the government. The conduct in such cases violates the federal law, 29 U.S.C. 3729, et seq., and Mr. Weaver is experienced in evaluating and handling such cases.

General Civil Litigation

The firm sometimes handles other matters. If we cannot help with your case, we will refer you to another qualified attorney at no cost.

Mediation

Mr. Weaver is a frequent mediator of disputes and has mediated hundreds of cases in North Carolina during the past fifteen years as a certified Mediator in the state and federal courts. Mr. Weaver serves also as an Arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association and the National Arbitration Forum.

In addition to his service as a neutral, Mr. Weaver is an Administrative Law Judge and Hearing Examiner for the North Carolina Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHA).

In 2008, Mr. Weaver was selected as an inaugural member of The North Carolina Academy of Superior Court Mediators. View his complete profile at the Academy's website.
