Sumrell Sugg is pleased to announce a successful result in Powell v. City of Wilmington, No. COA25-283, recently decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Attorney Trey Ferguson represented the City of Wilmington in defending a negligence claim arising from an alleged sidewalk defect along the City’s Cross-City Trail.

Sumrell Sugg, P.A. is proud to announce a major constitutional victory secured by attorney Frederick (“Derrick”) Bailey III. This case, rooted in the heated constitutional disputes of the COVID-19 era, addressed a question courts across the country faced: how to balance individual constitutional rights with lawful government action during a public health emergency.
