Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A., a Durham-based firm serving clients across North Carolina's Triangle region, has been named to Durham Magazine's 'Best of Durham' list in the Personal Injury Law Firm category. The annual feature highlights local businesses and professionals that stand out in the community, offering readers a trusted guide to local resources, including law firms that represent injury victims and their families. For the firm, the recognition signals not only peer and community validation but also reinforces its role as a go-to advocate for individuals facing serious legal challenges.
The honor arrives as Kornbluth Ginsberg continues to expand its advocacy beyond personal injury into workers' compensation and employment law. The firm handles cases involving workplace harassment, discrimination, retaliation, severance, and related disputes. This broader practice reflects a strategic commitment to protecting individuals' rights in multiple arenas, from the roadside to the workplace. Attorney Michael A. Kornbluth, a key figure at the firm, said the recognition reflects the team's approach: 'It reflects the hard work of our team and the way we approach every case: by listening carefully, treating clients with respect and compassion, and working diligently to pursue the best possible outcome for them.'
That client-first philosophy is backed by a team with deep credentials. Within the past year, Michael A. Kornbluth and Joseph Hjelt earned certification as employment law specialists from the North Carolina State Bar, a designation that requires rigorous testing and peer review. Kornbluth has also been selected for Super Lawyers every year since 2014. Firm partner Kevin Ginsberg, who has 26 years of legal experience, has tried over 40 cases to jury trials and has also been named a Super Lawyer. Jesse Shapiro is a certified workers' compensation specialist and was named a Super Lawyer in 2026. This concentration of recognized expertise matters for clients because it means access to attorneys who have demonstrated mastery in their fields, potentially leading to stronger representation and better outcomes.
For Durham residents, the 'Best of Durham' designation serves as a signal of trustworthiness in a crowded legal market. Personal injury and workers' compensation cases often involve complex insurance negotiations, medical evidence, and statutory deadlines. A firm with specialized certifications and a track record of jury trials may be better positioned to secure favorable results, whether through settlement or litigation. The recognition also underscores the firm's local roots and its investment in the community. With offices in Durham and Sanford, Kornbluth Ginsberg represents individuals across the Triangle and throughout North Carolina, focusing on clear communication and compassionate service.
The firm's inclusion on the list comes at a time when access to quality legal representation remains critical for injured workers and victims of workplace misconduct. As North Carolina's economy grows, disputes over workers' rights and injury claims are likely to persist, making experienced counsel essential. Kornbluth Ginsberg's dual focus on personal injury and employment law allows it to address a range of client needs, from auto accidents to wrongful termination. The firm is located at 3400 Croasdaile Drive, Suite 300, Durham, NC 27705, and can be reached by phone at 919-401-4100 or through its website.
