Sandy Lee
Managing Attorney, Greenville
Having lived most of my life in eastern NC, I have seen firsthand how needed LANC services are to rural communities. I am proud to work with advocates, both in Greenville and statewide, that understand the needs of our rural communities and who fight daily to bring justice to those communities
