Karl primarily focuses on assisting individuals (and groups of individuals in class actions) enforce their rights against credit reporting companies, collection agencies, debt collectors, and other large companies in claims arising under the North Carolina Debt Collection Act, North Carolina Collection Agency Act, Federal Fair Debt Collection Act, Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

He also represents individual employees in recovering unpaid wages and penalties in state and federal wage and hour claims as well as other employment issues, including Fair Labor Standards Act and North Carolina Wage and Hour Act compliance.

Karl practices in state and federal courts in North Carolina, in arbitrations, and before state and federal administrative agencies, including the Department of Labor. Karl gains the most satisfaction in the time he spends building relationships and solving the problems of his clients, through litigation or alternate methods. While in law school, Karl was one of two students in his class to complete over 450 hours of pro bono service. He continues his commitment to public service by volunteering at, among others, the Wake County Food Bank, as a Guardian ad Litem, and through the Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Pro Bono program.

When not practicing law, Karl can generally be found in the woods or lounging on a beach with his wife, Angela, daughter, Claire, and dog, Max. Karl and his family love sailing, hiking and camping, travelling, fishing, listening to live music, and are active members of Journey Community Church.
