Roberts & Stevens, P.A. is pleased to announce that firm partner Jacqueline D. Grant is the new president-elect of the North Carolina Bar Association. The NCBA is a statewide organization composed of more than 20,000 lawyers, paralegals and law students. She was elected by acclamation on Saturday, June 24, at the 2017 NCBA Annual Meeting in Asheville. A lifelong Asheville resident, Grant is a partner and litigator with Roberts & Stevens, where she has practiced her entire career.
“I can’t think of a lawyer more deserving of this position than Jackie Grant,” said Roberts & Stevens partner Wyatt Stevens. “Jackie is a model for the rest of the bar to follow. She practices law with a level head, exceptional competence, and the highest ethical standards. She gets outstanding results for her clients and has made a positive difference in our community. We are incredibly proud to have Jackie as a member of our firm.”
Grant attended A.C. Reynolds High School in Asheville, graduated magna cum laude from Western Carolina University in 1992, and received her law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law in 1995.
When Grant is officially installed as the 124th president of the NCBA in 2018 she will be the first female attorney from Asheville to serve in that role.
