Gene A. Riddle
Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers | When Justice Counts
For 40 years, Gene Riddle has been fighting for the rights of the injured. As the founder and Managing Partner of Riddle & Brantley, LLP, Gene has earned a reputation of excellence within the legal community and is a valued leader at our law firm. Under Gene's leadership, Riddle & Brantley has recovered over $850 million in compensation for clients since 2000 alone (see disclaimer).
Today, Gene believes honesty, integrity and willingness to work hard are the bedrock principles of a good attorney. That is what he and the other lawyers at Riddle & Brantley provide to their injured clients. Gene spends much of his time reviewing cases as well as instructing and supervising attorneys and paralegals. However, he also continues to directly handle cases as the lead attorney and he touches most of the personal injury cases that come into the firm.
Gene takes on cases that involve serious personal injury in car accidents, truck accidents, dog bites, premises liability, wrongful death and violations of Constitutional Rights. In every case, Gene’s objective is obtaining an outcome that his client believes is fair.
“The client’s goals are most important,” he says. “That has to be measured by what’s reasonable and what’s fair. Our guiding star is fairness. We’re about fairness. Justice counts.”
Gene has been recognized by many prestigious organizations and awards, including Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, The National Trial Lawyers Top 100, The Litigator Award, The National Association of Distinguished Counsel, The Power List in Personal Injury by NC Lawyers Weekly, Super Lawyers, and others. In 2025, Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers was named a "Best Family-Run Law Firm" by NC Lawyers Weekly.
