Mary Lawrence Ellis
Beaver Courie Law Firm
I spent seven years at the Hoke County District Attorney’s Office, where my primary focus was on prosecuting serious felony cases. These cases ranged from domestic violence and drug trafficking to felony assault, child sexual assault, child abuse, rape, and murder. I have a wealth of trial experience and have devoted my career to resolving high-conflict cases. My commitment, thorough preparation, and empathy are clearly reflected in my work.
I am a native of Hoke County and maintain strong connections within my community. I graduated from Meredith College with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and obtained my Law Degree from Campbell University Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law in 2017. I was admitted to the North Carolina State Bar in the same year. After completing my education, I returned to my hometown of Raeford, North Carolina.
After years of advocating for victims of crimes, I have shifted my practice to focus on family law. I manage complex cases with a high level of skill and support clients through challenging situations. I understand the importance of providing clear and honest advice. My domestic practice covers a wide range of family law matters, including absolute divorce, child custody, alimony, separation agreements, and equitable distribution. I approach each case with compassion and a high level of skill, ensuring that clients receive the necessary support during such pivotal times in their lives.
I live in Raeford with my husband, Haydon, and our son. When not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family and our two dogs. Additionally, I love going to the beach and competing in fishing tournaments with my family.
