About Andrew S
Andrew S Bullard built his legal foundation at two Michigan schools. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Michigan in 2007 and went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Michigan State University College of Law in 2010. Those academic years framed his interest in public-service oriented practice and in the kinds of community-facing law that would later shape his career.
After law school he returned east and established his practice base in North Carolina. He is licensed to practice in the state. In 2015 he joined Bagwell Holt Smith P.A. as an associate attorney. That position placed him in a small-firm environment where client contact and practical casework are regular parts of the day. Earlier entries on his professional timeline include memberships that began as early as 2014, indicating an early and steady involvement in the local bar community.
Bullard’s professional affiliations reflect the areas of law he takes on. He has been a member of the Durham County Bar Association since 2014 and belongs to the Durham-Orange Estate Planning Council. He serves as a guardian ad litem through the Legal Aid Society of the Orange County Bar Association. He is also accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, holding Veterans Affairs accreditation that enables him to assist veterans with benefits-related matters.
These roles suggest a practice that touches estate planning, guardianship and veteran benefits. In the courtroom and in administrative settings he handles matters that often require both procedural care and clear communication with clients. Colleagues describe him as steady and practical; clients encounter a lawyer who emphasizes clarity about options and next steps. He works across documents and hearings, drafting estate plans, representing guardianship interests and pursuing veterans’ claims where applicable.
At Bagwell Holt Smith P.A. he continues to work as an associate attorney. He maintains active memberships in local bar and estate planning organizations and performs guardian ad litem work through the Legal Aid Society. His credentials include Veterans Affairs accreditation. His current practice focuses on estate planning, guardianship matters and veterans' benefits.
