Of Counsel
Rob Everett, Jr. joined our firm as counsel in March 2010, continuing our affiliation with members of a family that traces its legal heritage back over more than a century. Rob's own relationship with the firm began the summer of 2006, when he clerked at the firm for six weeks following his first year at the UNC School of Law. During law school Rob also clerked for two other firms in Raleigh and served "externships" with Judge Wanda Bryant of the North Carolina Court of Appeals and with the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
Following his admission to the bar in 2008, Rob practiced commercial litigation and real property law with another Raleigh firm for more than a year before leaving active law practice to oversee his family's property development and management business. Currently, Rob is chief executive officer for Triple E Apartment Management ("TEAM"), Inc., which operates apartment complexes in Durham, Wilmington, and Fayetteville, North Carolina.
In addition to serving as counsel to the firm, Rob is active in
the Wake County Bar Association and a local Inn of Court. He volunteers
his legal services pro bono. He also provides legal representation
for the charitable trust established by his grandmother, the late
Kathrine R. Everett.
Rob finds many ways outside of the profession to be involved in the community. He is president of the Durham Academy Alumni Council and, in that capacity, an ex officio member of the school's Board of Trustees. He is also a deacon of the First Presbyterian Church of Durham.
Before studying law Rob taught English and history to private school students for thirteen years, primarily in Los Angeles. Some of his favorite memories of Los Angeles are of teaching alongside his wife Elizabeth, who is now a college counselor at Durham Academy. Currently Rob and Elizabeth "co-teach" their son Henry and daughter Cate.
