Bio

Mr. Wood is the founder and sole-owner of the Law Office of D. Hardison Wood. Born and raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he earned his law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York, New York and received his BA from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland.

Prior to law school, Mr. Wood was a government-relations specialist at the Washington, DC based law firm of Shaw Pittman Potts & Trowbridge (now Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman), representing clients in the tobacco, high-tech and financial industries. In 1999 Mr. Wood transitioned to then start-up Priceline.com where he worked in the business and systems development groups. Mr. Wood eventually settled down in the New York City area with his wife and family, working as an analyst at a distressed debt hedge fund, where he continued to work through law school.

With the advice and backing of his mentors, Mr. Wood returned home to North Carolina after graduation and founded the Law Office of D. Hardison Wood. Within a short period of time, the firm successfully resolved a multi-million dollar catastrophic injury products liability case on the eve of trial. The firm has gone on to earn a reputation for legal excellence, and has received numerous accolades for its trial abilities. The firm services personal injury victims from small car accidents to catastrophic personal injuries.

In addition to civil litigation, Mr. Wood also represents small to medium-sized businesses in the RTP area. These engagements include: successful dispositions of employee discrimination suits, contract and lease review and negotiation, wage and hour act defense, partnership disputes, regulatory compliance, representation before the NC DOL, insurance coverage disputes, lien resolution, non-compete review and enforcement, and company acquisitions. Mr. Wood enjoys assisting local RTP businesses as it gives him a chance for creative legal problem solving, usually avoiding the need for litigation. As a former start-up entrepreneur himself, Mr. Wood knows well that the legal needs of small to medium sized businesses are often not met, nor catered to, by larger law firms.

Mr. Wood is also the author and co-editor of Chapters 24 and 30 of the North Carolina Prima Facie Torts Manual, 6th edition (2014) as well as Measuring Value in Mediation, 21 Ohio St. J. on Disp. Resol. 383 (2006).
