Get to know Attorney Karlie Hudson.
I genuinely love working with my clients. I consider it an honor to be trusted to counsel individuals as they navigate difficult circumstances, plan for the future, or work to accomplish business goals. Being an advocate for my clients is a privilege I never take lightly.
I know your legal matter is of utmost importance to you. However, many people often avoid handling their legal issues because it can feel overwhelming and stressful. I am committed to making sure my clients never feel that way. I want each client to feel comfortable, empowered, and knowledgeable about the best solutions to their legal matter.
A little more about me . . .

I had the distinct honor of starting my legal career as a law clerk at the North Carolina Court of Appeals. I clerked for Judge Robert N. Hunter, Jr. and I consider my clerkship to be one of the best experiences of my life. As a clerk I learned about the practice of law from the perspective of an appellate judge - an experience which continues to influence my advocacy as an attorney.
After my clerkship, I worked as an associate attorney at a premier Johnston County firm where I was immersed in civil litigation, complex business transactions, and estate planning.
My next experience was at a large Am Law 200 firm in downtown Raleigh where I counseled businesses and insurance companies, primarily in workers’ compensation matters.
Before starting my legal career, I was an elementary school teacher. I taught English as a Second Language in Sampson County Public Schools.
