Corrie R. Seagroves

Twenty years in the making, Corrie Seagroves finally joined the Triangle Smart Divorce Team after a wide-ranging, somewhat eclectic career as an attorney from the Balkans to the Triangle (and a few places in between).

Corrie’s travels started at UNC, where she graduated with Highest Honors and a degree in Political Science and Government. She continued to Vanderbilt University Law, where she achieved the Order of the Coif. Then, she went to Upstate New York at Ft. Drum (home of the famed 10th Mountain Division), where she started a career as an Army JAG officer. Next up was Bosnia-Herzegovina during the United Nations intervention, where she served as a Senior Defense Counsel. Then, to Fort Gordon in Georgia, where she not only litigated complex military cases throughout the Southeast but also trained and supervised other attorneys and paralegals.

After all that, Corrie returned to the Triangle and dove into what can only be described as a tour of some of the most complex and demanding areas of the law, from medical malpractice to civil litigation and criminal complaints. It was demanding, tough work that exposed her to a wide range of legal issues and techniques while honing her long-term career goals.

Those became clear after Corrie was named the Lead Litigation Attorney of a large family law firm, taking responsibility for all litigation and litigating attorneys. That kind of intense, everyday exposure to litigation led her to two unshakable conclusions: she loves going to court and she enjoys working directly with clients.

“There is something unique about family law,” Corrie says, “where clients come to you in real difficulty, and you get to work with and help them through the worst of times and see it all work out in real time. I don’t think there’s another area of the law so challenging and so rewarding at once.”

Corrie knew Triangle Smart Divorce’s founder, Jenny Bradley, for twenty years, before TSD was even a distant twinkle in Jenny’s eyes. But somehow, they knew they would always work together. Both are thrilled it’s finally happening – for reasons beyond the obvious.

Corrie because she is excited to work with our Team. Jenny because Corrie brings a deep knowledge of executive compensation packages, deferred compensation, and closely held business valuations to our firm.

The fact that Corrie bleeds Carolina Blue and helps even out allegiances in an office that has been slowly tilting towards the Wolfpack had, we are told, “nothing to do with anything.”

When Corrie is not helping our clients, she lives on a 14-acre farm with her husband where she gardens and helps manage her – and she cannot stress this enough – small vineyard. She and her husband travel and fly fish – two activities that are not mutually exclusive. Aside from cheering for the Tar Heels and Hurricanes, she is also a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan.
