Specialties
When you're hurt in a car accident or injured on the job, you deserve an attorney who actually fights for you and not just one who pushes paperwork. Mehta & McConnell, PLLC is a Charlotte-based law firm built around one idea: workers and injured people deserve the same firepower insurance companies have.
Both attorneys are NC State Bar board-certified workers' compensation specialists, one of the highest credentials a North Carolina attorney can earn, and together they bring over 40 years of combined experience. They've been on the defense side too, so they know exactly how insurance companies think and how to counter it.
We handle: car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, rideshare accidents, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death, workers' compensation, lost wages, construction accidents, warehouse and factory accidents, and occupational diseases. Serving Charlotte and surrounding communities in Mecklenburg, Union, and Cabarrus Counties.
Free consultations. No fees unless we win. You'll work directly with a board-certified attorney from day one, not a paralegal or case manager.

History
Established in 2021.
Mehta & McConnell, PLLC was founded in 2021 to represent people injured at work or due to someone else's negligence. Both attorneys started their careers on the other side, defending large corporations and insurance companies. That background gives the firm a unique advantage: they know exactly how insurers evaluate and fight claims, and they use that knowledge exclusively to help injured individuals.
Though the firm is relatively new, the attorneys bring over 40 years of combined legal experience. Every client works directly with their attorney from start to finish, never handed off to a case manager or paralegal. The firm is built to be modern, efficient, and personal, focused on getting clients the medical treatment they need and the best possible outcome when their case is resolved.
