A Professional Career Built on Public Service

Leigh worked as a public-interest attorney for over 17 years, including serving as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Georgia, a guardian ad litem for seniors in Mecklenburg County, and a staff attorney at Charlotte's Council for Children's Rights.
