The day that my husband and I were looking for a lawyer in Salisbury, NC and “just happened” to see the name “Huffman,” was clearly a day of Divine Intervention! We needed an attorney for disability filing and did not know where to begin. We called the Huffman office and Mary answered the phone. Mary was not feeling well that day with a winter cold, yet she asked us to come over saying that she would be happy to answer our questions—which she patiently did! The rest is history. Attorney Huffman handled our case not only with the highest professionalism, but with expert knowledge of the “system” and with great compassion. His insight into the many facets of disabilities was obvious with his targeted questions and keen observations in his interviews with us. From the beginning, Attorney Huffman’s integrity and superior understanding of disability claims gave us confidence in his ability to handle our case in the best manner possible. Our disability claim was approved simply because of his proficient preparedness. Do NOT try to do this yourself: get the BEST help out there—Richard Huffman.

Mr. Huffman and his staff have been amazing to me and my family. For over 2 years, Mr. Huffman and his team, Mary and Michelle, gathered all the necessary information in preparing for my Social Security hearing. Mary and Michelle was always available to answer any questions I had through out this process. And, there were many questions. This was a very stressful process, but they always eased my mind. June 2019 was my hearing. The hearing was expected to last for hours, however, in only 15 minutes, the hearing was concluded. Mr. Huffman's guidance was invaluable. The decision was favorable on my behalf. This would not have happened without Mr. Huffman's expertise in this matter. I am forever grateful for what he and his staff has done for me and my family. Thank you Mr. Huffman, and Mary and Michelle!

My husband tried and failed to claim disability for several years when he was unable to work. We were referred to Mr. Huffman, and that was more than a blessing for our family. He and his staff walked us through what to expect and made sure we had everything we needed for the hearing. Mr. Huffman is also very caring and truly wanted to help our family. If you are looking for an attorney who knows his stuff and is a pleasure to work with, this is your guy!!

I found Mr. Huffman on this site when he replied to one of my questions. He represented me in a SSI/SSID hearing. He helped me win my case, taking a chance on me when I wasn't well prepared. He genuinely cares about his case and does everything in his power to get a favorable decision. Mr. Huffman and his secretary pretty much did everything for me, from pointing me in the right direction to helping get records I would of never thought I needed. He's professional and compassionate. I know 99.9 percent if he wasn't my attorney, I wouldn't of won my case. For that, I am very grateful. You can't go wrong hiring this attorney. I highly recommend him. He's excellent at his job!!

I referred many patients in my medical practice to Dick Huffman for workman's compensation and disability cases in the last 15-20 years. It became obvious that he cared for my patients, treating them like family, and fought hard to win their cases. I had 100% positive feedback from patients referred to him, and know that my patients referred friends and family to him as well. My accountant strongly recommended that I use Dick Huffman for my own business about 15 years ago. Dick has given me sage advice on multiple business decisions. Several years ago, he helped arbitrate a dispute with a national company that sold me a piece of lab equipment that did not perform as advertised. At the end of the arbitration, I owed the company nothing. Had things gone poorly, I would have owed over $60,000. He has helped me negotiate deals with banks, and business partners. He listens intently, considers the pros and cons of each option, then offers his advice. I make no major business decisions before discussing them with Dick. He has my respect, admiration, and appreciation, and I would give him my highest recommendation.

Richard "Dick" Huffman is everything you would hope for from a lawyer and more. His area is contract law, and I've needed to see him several times. I've taken my Mom as well. He really listens and cares. All law paperwork is perfect and quick. He's helped with POAs, wills and so on. As the oldest child in my family, I know I will need more help later. I feel 100% confident when I see Mr. Huffman and send family and friends to him. I am very thankful to have a lawyer I totally trust.

Mr. Huffman has been my worker's compensation lawyer for over 5 years. He did not leave me on my own when my initial pay was ordered and adjusted. Mr. Huffman has stood by my side every moment becoming my greatest advocate. He has filed numerous motions, when necessary, to assure I am treated fairly and receive the required medical treatment prescribed by my doctors. Mr Huffman has become a treasured friend and my most trusted ally. I am completely disabled and would not have been able to navigate the complicated insurance world if it were not for Mr. Huffman and his dedication to me as a person not just a client. He genuinely fights for you because he cares about you! He is beyond awesome!! Fran H.

We are in the construction business, and rely heavily on Huffman Law Firm for several aspects of our business including: contract creation and review, guidance on business decisions, and litigation when necessary. When we meet with Richard Huffman he treats us like we are his only client. He is very attentive and provides excellent suggestions. Although Mr. Huffman has a very soft approach with his clients don’t ever under estimate him in litigation. He is always extremely prepared, and has an excellent approach when dealing with judges. Mr. Huffman often knows the law particular to your case better than the judge hearing the case. Don’t go to court without Mr. Huffman. A person “who represents themselves has a fool for a lawyer”, and you a greater fool if you don’t have Richard Huffman represent you. He is simply the best in Rowan County.
