About Attorney Awards

Biography

Gray Ellis is the founder and managing partner of Ellis Family Law and has successfully represented individuals and families in their most important legal matters for more than 20 years. He is also Board Certified by the North Carolina Board of Legal Specialization – a distinction held by less than 2% of all family law practitioners in the state – and has been recognized for excellence in the practice of law by numerous independent attorney rating services.

In addition to his training and experience, Gray believes his effectiveness on behalf of clients is due in part to his personal experience as a parent who has gone through a separation.

“Perspective is very powerful in the practice of law, and especially in issues involving divorce, child custody, support, and end of life planning. I feel my background makes me a more effective advocate on behalf of our clients and provides an extra layer of determination and understanding about exactly what it is they are going through when they hire our firm.” – Gray Ellis

Gray is also a believer in giving back to both the legal profession and broader communities served by the practice. He is a Board Member of Meals on Wheels Durham and created the Feed the Need Gala, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and funding to fight nutritional challenges among our elderly population.

In his free time, Gray enjoys tennis, golf, traveling and watching ACC sporting events.

    Gray is effective and logical in his cases. He is also reasonable and very easy to work with in otherwise very difficult situations.

    Very well respected attorney by not only his family law colleagues but the legal community in general. Someone I never hesitate to refer cases to in the Triangle or to call when seeking advice on a particular issue.
