Going through a divorce is something no one prepares you for, especially when kids are involved. You don’t know what to do, what you can do or who to trust in such a vulnerable position. It’s your life that about to broken down into legal documents you don’t fully understand and you are putting it into the hands of an attorney you don’t even know. Ms. Houk was the first attorney I had reached out to and the last. After our initial phone call I felt empowered and educated around the tough road ahead. She listened to what I had to say and guided me down the path I wanted to go. The level of professionalism and compassion that she possessed was something I was not expecting during this process. She got to know me, my family and the situation to where it was like you were talking to a friend, not an attorney. Ms. Houk is extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the ways of family law. She is fierce when she needs to be and is fair. When it came time for mediation Ms. Houk and her team were extremely well prepared and focused on the things that mattered to me. I am overly happy with the outcome of my situation and I would not trust anyone else to have handled something so personal. The team over at Waple & Houk are nothing but world class.

My case was horrible due to the impossible insurance company and case management support / lack thereof! However Lou and his team made me feel heard/ important even in times I was frustrated and let go of my decorum. During this workers comp case , which was a very trick one because I was a traveling nurse at the time , I experienced a lot of hardships that Lou HIMSELF helped me navigate. I’ve dealt with attorneys and paralegals before & I can truly say though my paralegals were great , I spent more time talking to Lou than I did anyone else! He was able to secure me exactly what I needed in order to attempt to put my life back together! Though I have a long road ahead of me one thing is for sure ,I hope I never get injured again but if I do I’m definitely coming back to them because they are and have always been incredible to me! I totally recommend. Lou is very personable , relatable , calm & kind. His team is sweet, dedicated and patient.

My case was a workers comp case. I was having a horrible experience with the insurance company that was managing my care UNTIL I hired Lou. I have never been hurt on the job so I had no idea how to navigate through all of the hoops just to get the treatment I needed and I was extremely lucky in the fact that I found Lou. I don't think I can actually put into words how amazing both he, and his paralegal Sarah, actually are. They answered my questions ANY time I had one, they stayed on top of things and if I had any issues, they made sure they were fixed promptly. In my experience with Lou and Sarah, they became like family to me. They actually cared about how I was doing with treatment and I never felt like just another client or a number. My case eventually settled and Lou had only my best interests in mind during the process. Lou and Sarah are the best there is! Thank you so much to both of them!

“I can not thank Lindsey enough for representing me in one of the most stressful and toughest times of my life. She stood by my side as my defense/divorce attorney and I’m forever grateful for her. She knows the law, was very prepared, and stayed cool, calm, and collective throughout the whole process. She never doubted me and stuck to the facts. I highly recommend her to anyone “thinking” they may need a lawyer. I assure you that you do not want to walk in that courtroom and face a judge alone no matter if you are 100% innocent and no matter your story/situation. Thank you again Lindsey Houk for representing me. Thank you for your strong work ethic, your tenacious spirit, and most of all—caring so much for people.”

Mr. Lou is by far the most compassionate attorney I've ever encountered and Sarah was very helpful also if Mr.Lou wasn't available , this man fights for you like you're a family member and he'll never leave you hanging so you never have to wonder what's going on because he's with you every step of the way and explains everything with extreme clarity...he must eaten a lot of frosted flakes because he's Grrrrreat!!!! If you need a great workers comp attorney then look no further , I promise you will not be disappointed.I could go on and on about Mr.Lou but I'll just say , thanks Mr.Lou for your diligent fight for what you felt I deserve and may God continue to bless you and Sarah's family.

Lou was absolutely Amazing! I live in Greenville N.C and he is located out of Charlotte N.C. The distance was never a problem. I was so lucky to find him! I originally was using a local firm in my area but I was not satisfied. I never got to talk with my previous attorney prior to mediation. My previous attorney tried to get .me to settle for 10,000. I did not accept so i hired Lou and Lou got me 90000 plus some depositions paid. That is almost 10 times as much then my previous attorney. Lou gave me his personal cell number and text or called me back if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Lou Waple as your attorney. I would absolutely use him again! He will fight hard for you!

I would definitely refer anybody who needs help with their workers compensation to Waple & Houk. Everyone you talk to will be understanding and will go through all your paperwork and go over any questions you may have. Mr. Waple was very dedicated to resolving my case for my benefit. I was talking to Mr. Waple months before I hired him. He didn't pressure me to hire him. When I decided to hire him to help me he took the bulls by their horns and handled business that best accommodated my needs and life. Very caring and straight forward. Will send the office Christmas cards every year for changing my life. Thanks Lou and Sara for everything you did for me.

I contacted Lindsey from Waple & Houk shortly before my marriage ended. She gave me an extensive consultation and walked me through the steps of the separation and divorce. Lindsey was professional, tenacious and very informative when answering any questions. I felt very supported throughout the entire process. The staff at Waple & Houk, especially Sarah (paralegal), were easy to work with and knowledgeable. There was always a quick response time whether it be from Sarah or Lindsey herself. If you are thinking of using Waple & Houk take this as your sign to at least call for a consultation.

This law office took a great burden off of me and got me I would have to say 3 times more on my settlement than any other law office I discussed my case with. It’s like working with a part of your family. I highly recommend this lawyer to everyone they are the best, if they had a 10 star rating I would give them a 10. Before you call another lawyer about a worker’s compensation claim or any type of claim CALL THIS OFFICE FIRST YOU WON’T REGRET IT. I can’t say thank you enough, Harley Melton

Lou is the best in town. He actually cares about your case and will do anything to exceed your expectations. On the other hand he have great workers. Especially Sarah she was always kind and kept me updated about any new changes. I left car keys so she gave me a ride to pick them up. Something she didn’t have to do but didn’t hesitate when asked. I’m more than pleased with their services. I recommend using them if you are in need of a good lawyer

Mr. Waple and his staff were very professional, attentive, thorough, effective and efficient while handling my case. Mr. Walple and his staff kept me informed and always followed up with me frequently. He always listened, paid attention to detail, and explained anything I had questions or concerns about. My case was handled in a timely manner with a positive outcome. I was referred to Mr. Waple and I would definitely recommend him!

I've been working with Lindsey (Houk) on a family law matter the last few months. Lindsey and the firms' amazing paralegal have guided me through every step of the legal process from the initial consult, to mediation, and to successful resolution! Lindsey advocated for my child's needs and represented me well. Attorney Houk is honest, realistic, compassionate, knowledgeable, professional and responsive.

My experience with Waple and Houk was excellent. On my initial consultation with Lindsey Houk, she was informative and compassionate. Once I decided to retain the firm for services, she continued to be attentive and available any time I needed, including after hours. I appreciated the support I received and would recommend Lindsey Houk to anyone with family law needs.

Mr.Waple & Sarah did an outstanding job with my case. When I called Lou for advice on an on job injury, Lou walked me through every step. After that first call to his office I knew I was in good hands. Lou & his team worked hard and always kept me updated on everything. Thank you Lou & Sarah for doing an outstanding job on getting my Workman Comp case settled.

Lou helped me at the worst time of my life. He explained everything that would happen once I hired an attorney and he was available at all times to help me through such a difficult time dealing with a Workers Comp case. I am forever grateful and if I had a friend or loved one who needed legal advice he would be the first person that I would recommend.

Lindsey Houk and Laura will take care of you every step of the way. They truly care about you and your child’s best interest. Lindsey has represented me in the most honest and realistic way possible. She is supportive, direct and a moral representative. Finding Lindsey has been a blessing during the most chaotic and stressful experiences of my life.

Mr Lou and Assistant Sarah was a great experience and a great professional difference they care about the victim great guidance and advice and they do all there homework never missing a beat I will recommend them to everyone I know god bless this law firm team thank you for everything 10 Stars Carlos Wiley They are the Best!!!!!

I was awarded spousal support from my ex who was represented by this attorney in 2018. She failed to submit the paperwork to my ex’s former employer in a timely manner and as of this date 7/1:21 I am still waiting to receive my first payment. She doesn’t return calls and ignores my numerous requests for help

Great law firm. It felt like family because they made me feel like family. I would strongly recommend people to Waple & Houk. Lou Waple is a great lawyer. This was my first experience and Mr Waple was caring, concerning, and helping throughout the entire process.

Lou Waple was the best. I’ve never had to deal with a workman’s compensation claim before. Lou was there any time to answer my questions and concerns and made sure I was treated fairly. I highly recommend his services.

Extremely professionall in all aspects in handling my case. They answered all my questions. I felt very confident though out the whole time (even in these challenging times). I would highly recommend this team.

I wouldn’t take any lawyer over Ms. Lindsey Houk and the office staff very friendly and they get the job done on timely manner. Huge weight of my shoulders. They are worth it …

I work with Lindsey. She is always available and quick to respond to any questions. She is knowledgeable and has helped accomplish the goals set out for my family.

Divorce is hard enough, a rude staff and unkind receptionist is not worth the $375 an hour they charge. I recommend Dozier Miller over these meanies any day.

Atty. Lou was very professional and was honest from the start what to and not to expect. I would recommend Atty. Lou to anyone who needs help.

I received excellent customer service, I received 40k more than the insurance company offered me. I'm very satisfied with my settlement.

I had a great experience working with lou. I have already recommended him to everyone. Thank you again for doing what you do.

I recommend this law office to everyone, because they care and they will make sure you are well compensted for your injury.

Fantastic staff. Very friendly, knowledgeable. Exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend!
