Profile

Catastrophic injury claims, complex medical malpractice suits, construction defect actions and claims of negligence against medical and legal professionals—these are the types of cases that clients trust to the lawyers of Yates, McLamb & Weyher, LLP.

Our attorneys are known throughout North Carolina as dedicated and skilled trial advocates who defend clients with passion and integrity. For nearly 25 years, we have concentrated our practice in civil litigation defense. Along the way, our lawyers have developed a wealth of experience defending cases of all kinds—medical malpractice, including birth injury; nursing home liability; construction defect, environmental and motor vehicle liability; legal malpractice; products liability and insurance coverage matters.

This year four of our 28 attorneys have been named to the 2008 North Carolina Super Lawyers® list: Barry Cobb, Michael Hurley, Dan McLamb and Barbara Weyher.

Barry Cobb A partner at Yates, McLamb & Weyher, Cobb defends physicians, hospitals and nursing homes in medical malpractice matters, and represents health-care providers before their licensing boards. He currently serves as the ethics co-chair and as a council member of the North Carolina Bar Association Litigation Section.

Michael Hurley A frequent speaker on legal issues at seminars and conferences, published author, and successful trial attorney, Hurley specializes in medical malpractice and nursing home liability defense litigation. Also a partner, Hurley is an avid sailor and former charter captain on the North Carolina coast.

Dan McLamb Voted one of North Carolina’s Legal Elite1 litigators in all surveys conducted by North Carolina Business magazine since 2001, McLamb has recently been named to the magazine’s “Litigation Hall of Fame.” He focuses on civil litigation, including the defense of medical malpractice and legal malpractice claims.

Barbara Weyher In addition to representing clients in matters regarding insurance coverage and professional liability, Ms. Weyher regularly mediates cases involving claims of personal injury, business disputes, premises liability and professional malpractice. After serving nine years as a councilor on the North Carolina State Bar, she was recently elected to serve as vice president of that organization.

"My Platinum profile ad has definitely paid off! My law firm is a boutique five-attorney law firm in San Francisco that had never advertised prior to this, except in Martindale-Hubbel. We have been a traditional insurance defense firm, and wanted to subtly let people know that we also do select plaintiff's cases. In the last quarter of 2006, we were retained in three significant plaintiff's cases, two of which are high-profile media cases. I also placed an ad in the Super Lawyers section of San Francisco magazine, to reach non- lawyers. Now, people at the gym, the coffee shop, the drycleaners tell me they had no idea what I do, and they will come to me when they need a lawyer. So, the ad also worked to reach non-lawyers in the community as well."
