I was first referred to Edward Connette by my brother in 2013. I was having issues with my insurance disability and required the help of a attorney in this area of expertise. Mr Connette was the most knowledgeable, effective, and caring lawyer i have met in years. With his help my disability payments were resumed. I have used Mr Connette each year since that first meeting to review disability insurance information sent to me. I would highly recommend Mr Connette and his firm.

I have known and worked on and off with Woody Connette for the past 12 years or more! I first became familiar with him while working together on a guardianship case for an elderly couple; in my capacity as a long term care social worker at one of Charlotte's premier retirement communities. Since then I have referred many clients who are from the upper echelon of Charlotte and they have all been very pleased with his professionalism and overall calm demeanor and knowledge! He is very detailed and efficient and I have recommended him to friends as well! You will be so pleased with his services and he will likely become a lifelong friend as well!
