Garland G. Graham Named 2014 Citizen Lawyer by the North Carolina Bar Association

The North Carolina Bar Association will recognize Garland G. Graham, a partner with Schell Bray, as a recipient of the 2014 Citizen Lawyer Award. The award presentation will take place at the NCBA’s annual meeting, scheduled for June in Wilmington.

The NCBA established the Citizen Lawyer Award in 2007 to recognize attorneys who provide outstanding public service for their communities. As a recipient, Graham joins a select group of distinguished leaders in the North Carolina legal community. Recipients have included elected and appointed government officials, coaches, mentors, and voluntary leaders of non-profit, civic and community organizations.

Ms. Graham’s community activities include her founding in 2006 of the Red Dog Farm Animal Rescue Network, a North Carolina nonprofit rescue network that is dedicated to the rehabilitation, fostering and adoption of abused and neglected animals of all sizes, including farm animals. The organization is a 501(c)(3) public charity and has taken in over 1,700 animals to date.
