Meet Lucie Peoples
Lucie Peoples is a litigation partner with McAngus Goudelock & Courie and her practice is based in the firm's Asheville, NC office. Lucie received her JD from Mercer Law School in 2011 and has been a member of NCADA since 2014. Thanks, Lucie, for sharing for a little bit about herself with us!
How has membership in NCADA benefited your professional life? While every case is unique, most issues aren’t. Having the ability to reach out to another member for advice or feedback has been clutch.
What is the biggest career challenge you’ve had to overcome? Juggling how to be a mom and attorney, something I am still overcoming! Ultimately, I give myself a lot of grace, surround myself with positive influences and role models, and try to enjoy the present. Striking an effective balance is key, but that is different for everyone. Finding your own balance is the key (or so I am told!)
What is your favorite legal movie or TV show and why? West Wing, hands down. I absolutely adore this show for so many reasons, even despite some of the (painful) legal inaccuracies. I love the sense of purpose that all the characters possess—small group of people who can change the world, the idealized version of government portrayed, the inspiring monologues, and the fast paced-dialogue.
Fun fact that people probably don’t know about you? I am on the back cover of the Backstreet Boys’ Never Gone album. Check it out!
