Robert “Robby” Jessup, a partner at the Howard Stallings Law Firm, represents plaintiffs in serious injury, wrongful death, and insurance bad faith cases.

With a particular passion for representing crime victims, Robby has helped survivors of shootings, violent assaults and childhood sexual abuse begin to rebuild their lives through the civil justice system.  Due to such advocacy, Robby has been featured on Sundance’s True Crime Series, It Couldn’t Happen Here, and the accompanying podcast, along with having a number of cases covered in national and local news.

The Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum inducted Robby for winning large recoveries for his clients. US News and World Report recognized him as one of the Best Lawyers in America, and he has also been named to SuperLawyers.

Living his entire life in North Carolina, Robby graduated cum laude from UNC-Chapel Hill for both undergraduate (B.A., Journalism and Religious Studies) and law school.  Robby is dedicated to helping fellow North Carolinians in need, and this dedication is the driving force of his law practice.

Robby is admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, all Federal District Courts within the State of North Carolina, and all North Carolina State Courts (including the North Carolina Court of Appeals & Supreme Court).
