James Scott Farrin Attorney Elizabeth Ligon Earns Prestigious Board Certification in Workers' Compensation Law

Ligon brings the firm's total of NC State Bar Board Certified Specialists in workers' comp to 10.

DURHAM, N.C., March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin announced that attorney Elizabeth Ligon has been designated a North Carolina State Bar Board Certified Specialist in workers' compensation law, a distinguished achievement that highlights her knowledge and experience representing injured workers.

NC State Bar Board Certification is an indication that the lawyer has intentionally focused their legal practice to improve the proficiency and quality of their legal services and to stay current in the specialty field. A lawyer who is certified as a specialist by the North Carolina State Bar Board of Legal Specialization has satisfied a number of rigorous standards to achieve this rare honor.

Fewer than 4% of attorneys licensed to practice in North Carolina are NC State Bar Board Certified Specialists, and less than 1% hold this designation for workers' comp.*

Ligon brings a powerful perspective to workers' compensation law. In addition to this new designation, Ligon spent over a decade as a workers' compensation defense attorney before transitioning to advocate for injured workers.

"Elizabeth's experience litigating complex workers' compensation disputes on behalf of employers and insurance carriers helps her build strong cases for injured workers," said James S. Farrin, President of the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin. "NC State Bar Board Certification combined with her 'other side' experience makes her a formidable advocate for our clients."
