The Grievance Resolution Board serves within the Division of Adult Correction in the Department of Public Safety. The Board consists of five members appointed by the Governor to serve four-year terms. Three of the members must be attorneys chosen from a list of 10 individuals recommended by the Council of the North Carolina State Bar.

“I am honored and humbled to accept this appointment to the North Carolina Grievance Board from Governor Cooper. It’s my great pleasure to serve on a board whose mission and members I have long respected and admired,” says Attorney H. Gerald Beaver.

The purpose of the Grievance Resolution Board is to provide North Carolina inmates the opportunity to settle their grievances through either informal communication with authorities at offending facilities, or when a formal complaint is necessary, to reduce tension and create stability for formal complaints. The five-member board has authority over all inmate grievances filed through the Administrative Remedy Procedure.

Attorney Beaver began serving the Grievance Resolution Board in January 2018.

The firm was originally founded by Jerry Beaver over 40 years ago and has built and maintained a reputation for excellence in the areas of criminal defense, traffic and DWI defense, serious personal injury and other complex civil litigation. It is an “A rated” firm by Martindale Hubbell, displaying “the highest possible rating in both legal ability and ethical standards” and has been chosen for U.S. News and World Report Magazine’s “Best Law Firms” classification for the past four years.

On the new corporate name and brand, nationally honored and founding partner Jerry Beaver said “the additional names and the brand Beaver Courie is not new to the people of Cumberland, Hoke and Moore Counties. It is our community’s support of this firm and these lawyers that makes this growth and rebranding an obvious decision. Our firm has and continues to be devoted to providing the best legal representation and client services. This is an ideal way to recognize unique performance and our future. David [Courie] has built a local and statewide reputation for his ability as a trial attorney and problem solver, particularly in criminal defense. As a result, he has developed a sizable and loyal client base over the past 17 years which continues to grow. Similarly, Mark Hearp and Hal Broadfoot have proven themselves in the firm and throughout the community as “go to” attorneys in criminal defense and personal injury, respectively. This rebranding reconfirms Beaver Courie’s presence and staying power in the practice of law and in this community for years to come. We are growing and will continue to do so with proven, local attorneys devoted to getting our clients results.”

Senior Partner David Courie explains, “Our firm is fortunate to enjoy a great history and a brilliant future. This good fortune and planning continues with this expansion. Although it’s the high profile cases that make the news, movies and papers, we spend most of our days fighting for our hardworking clients from here in Fayetteville, Raeford, Pinehurst, Fort Bragg, Spring Lake and Hope Mills. Our clients are our neighbors, our friends, and our military. These are the people that foster and ensure our growth and future. We never lose sight of that.”

Beaver Courie has brought on two additional lawyers recently and a number of new legal support staff with additional growth planned for the immediate future.

Beaver Courie has over 120 combined years of legal experience available to help clients in need of legal help. Their attorneys regularly practice criminal defense, traffic and DWI law, personal injury and other complex civil litigation in all levels of State and Federal court throughout the region.

Beaver Courie’s expanding corporate name and branding has been done in partnership with 219 Group. 219 Group is a full service marketing and advertising agency located in Fayetteville North Carolina. 219 Group has been involved every step of the way with website, logo, clothing and paper product creation.
