A desire to help others stand up for their rights drove Sarah Ellerbe to pursue a legal career.

Sarah joined Lucas, Denning & Ellerbe 13 years ago after completing her bachelor’s degree in music performance from Salem College and her J.D. at the Campbell University School of Law. As one of the firm’s partners and leading attorneys, she oversees workers’ compensation, personal injury and social security disability cases.

In addition to her work at the firm, Sarah has worked as a professor at Johnston Community College and in the College Paralegal Program.

Sarah grew up in Lake Wales, Florida, and has been a resident of Johnston County for the past 14 years. Outside of the office you’ll find her enjoying one of her many hobbies including snow skiing, exercising, spending time with her husband and daughter and playing the harp.

Sarah is an active member in her community having served as president of the Smithfield Jaycees, a volunteer for Meals on Wheels and a member of the First Baptist Church of Clayton.
