Kelly, Richard W.

Lea Keller joins Mike Lewis Attorneys and is excited about working in the pre-litigation department. She has several years of experience focusing on personal injury claims. She graduated Wake Forest University School of Law. While attending law school she clerked at a local firm where she assisted in complex medical malpractice cases and learned about negotiation, mediation, and settlements. While in practice, Lea has worked on a wide range of cases, including complex class action litigation, but she chooses to focus on personal injury work.

Lea is a dean’s list graduate of High Point University with a Bachelor of Science degree in International Business. She then attended Wake Forest University School of Law on the advice of her grandmother and with hopes that it would open many doors for her future. While attending law school, it became clear to Lea that she loved the law and she has been passionate about it ever since.

Serving her clients is Lea’s number one goal. She believes that empathizing with her clients and earning their trust is one of the fundamental building blocks of the lawyer and client relationship. Always a loyal advocate for her client, she focuses on open and honest communications in pursuing the claim in the client’s best interest.

Thomasville, North Carolina is Lea’s home base. She and her husband have lived there for three years and recently became parents to a beautiful 9 month old daughter. Both Lea and her husband spend a lot of time entertaining with family and friends as they have a flair for food. They love watching the food networks and thinking about the next dish. The Kellers always look forward to the month of September — the start of football season! Put it all together and it’s a lot of fun – family, friends, food, and football. In the midst of all the fun, Lea still finds time to help others by volunteering for local community events.
