My paternal grandfather taught me to work hard at whatever I do and provide well for my wife and children. I'm thankful for my legal education at NCCU School of Law and I'm proud to carry the legacy of service and advocacy wherever I am."

With this appointment, Kingsberry joins the growing ranks of Legal Eagles leading and serving communities across the region and the nation.
