Charlotte, NC personal injury attorney Robert A. Whitlow share the philosophy that guides his work as well as what he does when he’s not practicing law. He explains that his philosophy as an attorney is to truly get to know his clients, to understand their needs, and to determine how best to help them. He doesn’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach where one size fits all. Instead, he delves into what each person is struggling with, identifying the problems that may prevent them from being able to work and potentially qualify for disability benefits. From there, he crafts a path forward to assist them legally in whatever ways are available or possible.

Outside of practicing law, he is also a published author who has been writing for about 25 years. He has written 21 novels in the legal drama genre, with a southern focus, reflecting his own background, and four of those novels have been adapted into films. He says that writing allows him to exercise his creative side outside the office, while in his legal practice, he brings that same creativity to helping his clients. Wearing both hats, he explains, is something he enjoys deeply.
