Biography

Ms. McCray loves the practice of law and enjoys helping people. She was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina and attended South Carolina College (the University of South Carolina's honors college) receiving undergraduate degrees in English and Psychology. Ms. McCray graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in Columbia, South Carolina. During law school, she clerked for Judge C. Tolbert Goolsby at S.C. Court of Appeals and interned one summer in Raleigh for the North Carolina Family Policy Council where she gained intimate knowledge of the legislative process in North Carolina. During her third year, she clerked for the well respected law firm of Sweeny, Wingate & Barrow, P.A. After law school graduation, she married Michael McCray and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina and practiced family law, criminal law, parental rights cases, estates and civil litigation. She also supervised Wake County’s Wills and Estates Division for the Clerk of Superior Court and gained valuable insight into Estate Administration, Special Proceedings and operations of the Clerk’s office. In 2006, Ms. McCray and her husband, Michael, moved to Franklin County, NC, and they love being part of this great community. Ms. McCray is licensed to practice law in North Carolina and South Carolina and is a member of the North Carolina Bar Association, South Carolina Bar Association, and the 9th Judicial District. Ms. McCray lives on a small farm with her husband in Louisburg, North Carolina.
