Whenever someone asks me where I am from, I respond that I grew up in southeastern North Carolina on dirt road. Folks from the nearby town, Whiteville, which isn’t much bigger, used to say they had to pipe the sunshine into where I lived.. By growing up in a small rural township with economic hardships, I learned so many lessons about the power of community working together to lift one another up—particularly in times of need. In my professional experience, I find that people often seek out a lawyer when they are experiencing some form of suffering and searching for a solution. I believe compassion is the necessary foundation an attorney needs in order to become part of the solution. The power of compassion is a guiding principle in my life and has led me to my professional journey today.. After attending Wake Forest University and earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology, I decided to attend law school after shadowing my uncle in his law firm for several summers. He had a thriving Social Security Disability practice which I admired and felt comfortable working in that area of the law. Although I had originally intended to work as a District Attorney, I discovered that was not my path. Instead, I accepted the challenge of leading a growing firm’s Social Security Disability practice where I remained at the helm for over 17 years. I feel privileged to have been able to help so many people navigate a very complex appeal process and secure the benefits they had earned.. Now, I am answering a call to continue helping people navigate other difficult and complex areas of the law known as Elder Law. I believe my knowledge, skills, values, and experiences will enable me to help seniors and their families find solutions for some of the most difficult times of life.. When not working, I enjoy exploring our beautiful state and taking photographs of nature and family. I also enjoy singing with my church choir, playing my trumpet and hanging out with my daughter, Ella, and our dog, Tilly.

When William (Bill) Peaslee opened his office nearly 20 years ago, he wanted an office where clients could feel comfortable returning with any legal concern. Our areas of practice include, but are not limited to:. Most people have gone all their lives without having to hire an attorney. Visiting an attorney for the first time can be an anxious experience. We treat our clients the way we would expect to be treated; we provide frank, honest assessments of our clients’ problems and explain to them the options they may have for resolution. By establishing a level of trust, our clients know unequivocally that their attorney is on their side.. We invite you to visit us for a consultation so that we may know how we can better serve you.

When I play the gratitude game with my kids, I always list my educational opportunities near the top. Early in life, I learned that often, good things come from difficult experiences. College was like that. I was able to attend The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill because of a scholarship from the N. C. Veteran's Administration. This opportunity would not have been possible except for my father's lifelong disability from service in the U. S. Army Air Corps. I've always been a person serious about life. As an undergraduate studying psychology and religious studies, I enjoyed exploring some of the big, unanswered questions from my childhood: Is there a purpose and meaning to life? If so, how do we find it? Does suffering pay off? What happens after we die? After receiving my B. A. in psychology from UNC, I obtained a Master of Social Work from the  Southern Baptist Theological Seminar in Louisville, Kentucky. After graduating, I practiced clinical social work for five years before entering law school at Campbell University. I enjoyed practicing law in Wake County before my thirteen-year career as a court manager in state government. Most recently at the N. C. Administrative Office of the Courts, I worked as the Senior Manager of Court Programs where I supported court programs across the state: family courts, custody mediation, drug courts, domestic violence, and alternative dispute resolution. Like all of us, the formal hats I wear (social worker, lawyer, court administrator) and informal hats (wife, mother, divorceé, sister, friend, daughter) are integrated into all that I do. One reason I decided to return to the practice of family and elder law at this point in my life is so that I can wear the various hats I've collected over the years to help families grow and evolve through some of the tough transitions in life.

We usually start our firm bios with a little tidbit about the member and move on from there building a narrative.. We’re breaking the mold with Julianne B. Rothert.. We have to start with this: Julianne loves family law – she is completely, utterly, dedicated to every aspect of it and has been since law school.. What does it mean when Julianne loves something? This . . .. Julianne went to Clemson. She loves everything Clemson, especially the football team. How much? Enough to be in labor the night before a Clemson game (note: It was not a playoff game, or even against the top 25, just the regular, old ‘Saturday Clemson beat down of an almost defenseless opponent’ game) and still go to the game. Which she sat all the way through. We think she also probably sat through Dabo’s news conference as well but she won’t confirm or deny that.. Only then did she go to the hospital and give birth. She gives some, grudgingly, credit to her daughter for waiting so patiently.. That then is what Julianne brings to family law.. Here’s what you don’t get – Julianne will never “tell you what you want to hear. I’m not the person to come to if you want to be told only what you want to hear, I’m the person to come to if you want to get it straight. Ask me anything. I’m here for you.”. That's out of the way; here’s the rest.. Julianne started out as an accounting major at, well, you know where. After graduation she went straight to Campbell University School of Law where she not only excelled, she found her love of family law.. Julianne was certified as a specialist in family law by the North Carolina State Bar in 2008. In 2011 she was certified as a family financial mediator as well. She frequently serves as a mediator in family law cases, by now you should know how she feels about that. She’s also a Parenting Coordinator, which as you may know, takes the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon.

My practice is focused on divorce and family law related matters in Wake County.  I approach each case with the goal of helping my client reach a satisfactory resolution in the most efficient and least stressful manner possible.  Whether it is an uncontested divorce, drafting a prenuptial agreement or a separation agreement, negotiating, mediating, or litigating, that goal remains the same.  Many of the cases I handle settle.  Settlement is by far the most efficient and least stressful way to resolve legal matters.  As I tell clients, we can only control our side of the case and, therefore, when settlement is possible, I will work equally hard to litigate their case.

Lisa brings a wealth of Family Law experience to Triangle Smart Divorce. She began her law career in 1989 and has focused almost exclusively on the many complexities and intricacies of Family Law as a member of the New Jersey, North Carolina, and the United States Supreme Court Bars.. Lisa is tenacious. Her tenacity is well earned. After she graduated, cum laude, from Lafayette College, she attended Cornell Law School where – she will happily confirm this – she trudged to classes uphill both ways through knee-deep snow. This will come as no surprise to anyone who has ever visited Ithaca, New York.. We could write about Lisa’s experience with every aspect of Family Law from divorce to child custody to property division to support and alimony to paternity suits and prenuptial agreements. And, we could write about her philosophy – one, of course, deeply shared by Triangle Smart Divorce – that court is the last resort. Though she has extensive litigation experience. We could write about her tireless efforts as a Parenting Coordinator.. Instead, we’re just going to point to her fervent belief that the best film of the last twenty years is Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Somehow, that says it all.. When not imparting more wisdom to Jenny, Lisa is guiding her two children in their young adulthood. Luke is at VMI on a lacrosse scholarship, and his sister, Kylie is starting her Masters Program at UNC. Lisa and her husband, Dave, also have two indifferent cats and a black lab called Thor, short for Thurgood.. Two more things: Lisa is a teammate of Jenny’s on the Bad News Barristers, the seven-time champions of the Wake County Bar Softball League. They were also teammates on a local softball team, The Gimps, until Jenny decided she was too gimpy to play in two leagues. If she couldn’t be an attorney, Lisa’s dream – and this may say as much about her as her favorite movie – would be to be a singer, despite the fact she absolutely cannot carry a tune. A fact that would not stop her for a minute.

Lindsey Granados is an experienced criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor in Wake County (Raleigh), North Carolina, handling all criminal and traffic matters, misdemeanor, felonies and providing zealous advocacy for her clients at every stage of the representation.

Let’s get this out of the way right now – I’m a jock, a nerd, and a lawyer. None of that is mutually exclusive.. I have been involved in competitions great and small for most of my life. Softball, math bowl, 80’s trivia, and bicycling (in a way). I like competition. I love games. I get my fill of them . . . on my time. Like everyone who plays any game, I like to win. Like anyone who plays any game, I don’t like losing.. Competition is great, in the proper venue. Family Law is emphatically not the proper venue. Family law is about resolving, fixing, healing, being reasonable, and moving on.. I devote my practice to working with clients in family law matters, including premarital agreements, domestic partnership agreements, separation and property settlement agreements, qualified domestic relations orders, appeals, and litigation involving equitable distribution, alimony, child support, and child custody. I understand the financial and emotional vulnerabilities of my clients, and I use my experience with alternative dispute resolution to resolve many disputes without litigation. Said another way, "We stop smart people from getting screwed over in the divorce process.". I am the stepmother to a teenager. I personally know the struggles of blended families and how challenging ongoing custody and financial issues can be. In addition to my personal experiences, I have more than twenty years of family law experience. I have seen a lot and dealt with an array of family issues. I understand what you are going through.. When I’m not helping clients take things off our clients' plates and shouldering some of the stress for them, you can find me in all kinds of places, like the softball diamond, my garage gym, the local bookstore, sampling wine, traveling, and, yes, still kicking butt in 80’s trivia contests.

Jackie Bedard's estate and long-term care planning practice is focused on guiding clients through the complicated, often confusing, maze of balancing family protection, long-term care planning, wealth preservation, and cherished family values in the planning process.. Jackie determined early on that traditional estate planning has primarily focused on what happens upon death, but a far more pressing concern for many families today is—what happens if you don’t die suddenly, but instead need long term care for several months or years?  A comprehensive estate and long-term care plan should address both of these concerns..

If there is one thing that helps me maximize the results for clients, it is the valuable experience I gained on the "other" side while working as a defense lawyer for the insurance companies. Defending and going to trial on the very same types of cases I now handle provided unique insight into the thought processes of insurance adjusters, their bosses (the real decisionmakers), and the attorneys they hire to try to minimize or defeat your claim.. I handle wrongful death and most types of serious personal injury cases throughout North Carolina, but I am also licensed in Florida, where I continue to handle select cases. In 2013,  I earned national board certification in civil trial law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and I earned re-certification in 2019. I have obtained an "AV Preeminent" rating from confidential reviews by my peers and judges. This is the highest rating a lawyer can have under the Martindale-Hubbell rating system and it is based on a lawyer's proven legal ability and ethics.

I have lived and worked in North Carolina almost my whole life, minus a short adventure to Norfolk, Virginia while my husband was on active duty in the Navy, and consider myself a Carolina girl through and through. I am a proud double Tarheel with both a Bachelor’s and a J.D. from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.. While at UNC, I had the opportunity to work in the Domestic Violence Legal Clinic. This work was the single most meaningful thing I did throughout my collective time at Carolina. As part of my clinic work, I received the Certificate of Merrit for Trauma-Informed Lawyering.. I have seen the impact divorce and child custody can have on families. I have seen what it is like when things break cleanly, but also what happens when the end of a relationship thrusts your world into chaos. Now, I use those experiences and my expertise in the legal field to find the best possible solutions for you and your family.. As your attorney, my only goal is to be there for you to help restore order to your life and put you back in control. There is no one-size-fits-all solution because there is no one-size-fits-all family. This team-based approach includes exploring all your options for resolution both in and out of a courtroom.. I want every client who walks into my office to know that I am in your corner. No matter how it started or where it is going, we are here for this next chapter in your story.. Outside of work, you can find me reading fantasy novels, supporting performing arts, trying my hand at creative writing, and spoiling my nieces and nephews in hopes of achieving the coveted title of “world’s best aunt.”
