Kornbluth Ginsberg Law Group, P.A., a Durham-based firm specializing in personal injury, workers' compensation, and employment law, 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. This recognition is particularly significant for HR vendors and professionals as it underscores the importance of specialized legal expertise in employment matters, which can directly impact how organizations manage workplace disputes, compliance, and risk mitigation.
The recognition matters beyond a single award: it signals the firm's sustained commitment to individuals and workers across the North Carolina Triangle. "We are honored to be included among Durham's recognized businesses and deeply grateful to the community for this acknowledgment," said attorney Michael A. Kornbluth. "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." For HR vendors, this emphasis on compassionate and thorough legal service highlights the growing demand for solutions that support employee rights and employer responsibilities, especially in areas like harassment prevention and discrimination claims.
The firm's advocacy extends beyond personal injury and workers' compensation to employment law cases involving workplace harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and severance disputes. That breadth is supported by attorneys with notable credentials. Within the past year, Kornbluth and attorney Joseph Hjelt earned certification as employment law specialists from the North Carolina State Bar. Kornbluth has also been selected for Super Lawyers every year since 2014. These credentials are a testament to the firm's expertise, which HR vendors can leverage as a benchmark for the level of legal acumen needed in employment-related products and services.
Firm partner Kevin Ginsberg, who has 26 years of legal experience, has tried over 40 cases to jury trials and has been named a Super Lawyer. Jesse Shapiro is a certified workers' compensation specialist and was named a Super Lawyer in 2026. These credentials underscore the firm's ability to handle complex cases and secure strong results for clients. For the HR industry, this depth of experience signals the importance of partnering with or developing tools that address intricate legal challenges, from workers' compensation to severance negotiations.
