Lucia has dedicated her career to helping people and companies navigate the complex world of litigation.

Lucia started the practice of law in 1989 at the well-regarded firm of Faulkner & Boyce, PC in the town of New London, Connecticut. While at Faulkner & Boyce, Lucia honed her skills as a trial lawyer and conducted depositions, mediations, arbitrations, and jury trials in cases from car wrecks with minor injuries to complex products litigation matters. 

In 1996, Lucia joined her former colleague and formed a partnership that focused on injury matters and branched out into employment matters and other general litigation matters representing individuals and business entities.

In 2009, after 20 years of practice, Lucia decided to leave the practice of law and pursue teaching and other interests. 

After moving to the Outer Banks in 2018, Lucia joined Rose Harrison Gilreath & Powers in 2020 as a legal assistant in the litigation department. Having returned to the law, Lucia decided to pursue licensure as an attorney in North Carolina and was admitted to practice on November 18, 2022.

Not only does Lucia bring her valuable litigation experience to our firm, but she also speaks Spanish and offers members of our Latino community the ability to discuss their issues in their native language.
