About

My commitment is to treat every client with compassion and respect; to be a good listener, and to work as hard as I can to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients.  I learned good old fashioned values growing up in a small town in Granville County, NC, and I strive to be a person of integrity with a character for being honest and hard working. By way of background, I graduated from South Granville High School and attended NC State University followed by East Carolina, where I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice. I attended law school at Campbell University and was commissioned as a JAG officer with the U.S. Navy Reserve.  I attended Officer's Indoctrination School in Newport, Rhode Island, followed by Naval Justice School after receiving my Jurisdoctorate in 1991.  After graduating from Naval Justice School, I boarded the guided Missile Cruiser USS Chosin in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. I was then stationed at Naval Legal Service Office Yokosuka, Japan for three years where I served as a defense attorney and provided legal assistance.  In 1994 I joined the distinguished trial lawyer Mr. Norman Kellum as a personal injury attorney with the Kellum Law Firm where I have practiced ever since.  Our personal injury practice covers the entire east coast including the triangle and its surrounding areas.  It has been and will continue to be my pleasure to serve the injured and fight for the compensation they need and deserve!  WE'RE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!

Both my husband and I want to thank you for all of your hard work in handling the insurance claim for my vehicle accident and procuring a full settlement. I’m sure that comes from knowing what you are doing! – top notch professionalism! Norman is fortunate to have you on his team. It was a pleasure to meet you and to have you represent me. When I was in the hospital during my initial surgery, my husband told me that he would be meeting with Norman Kellum to see about his firm representing me in bringing an insurance claim. To know that the firm would indeed be on our side was a relief, as we knew my hospital and treatment bills would be sizeable. Then to meet you in person after I could travel to New Bern gave me even greater reassurance that all the legal work would be taken care of in a professional manner with my interest put first. In short, we believed in you and your team. We really appreciate all that you have done for us and will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who might have need of your legal services. You have no idea what a blessing you have been to both of us. Again, thank you for your services…a very satisfied client!

They were very professional, compared to firms I have delt with in the past, they were easy to work with and made the whole process smooth. Very professional as well.
