About Elizabeth A
Elizabeth A Wood built a legal career that moves from hands-on immigration work to running her own practice. She began formal legal studies in 2011 and earned her J.D. from Concord Law School in 2015. Early experience as an immigration paralegal informed much of her subsequent work.
Her first recorded legal role after law school was operating the Law Office of Elizabeth A. Wood in 2015. She spent the next year at The Carolina Law Group, where she handled client matters and learned the pace of a small firm. In 2018 she founded The E A Wood Law Office and has served as owner and lawyer since then. Before attending law school she worked as an immigration paralegal for Victoria L. Block in 2006, a position that gave her direct exposure to client intake, paperwork and courtroom filings.
Wood is licensed to practice in both North Carolina and California. She holds membership in the North Carolina State Bar beginning in 2017 and has been listed with the North Carolina Bar Association since 2015. She joined the American Immigration Lawyers Association in 2011, reflecting an early and continuing interest in immigration matters. In 2019 she was admitted to the roll of Lawyers and Counsellors of the Supreme Court of the United States, allowing her to appear before the high court.
Outside routine bar memberships, Wood has served on nonprofit boards. From 2016 to 2019 she sat on the board of Interfaith Refugee Ministry. She also served on the Coastal Womens Forum board from 2006 until 2019. These roles overlapped with her legal training and early practice years and connected her to community organizations that frequently work with immigrants and refugee populations.
Her career path shows steady progression from support work to private practice ownership. Tasks she has handled include client representation, case preparation and filing, and the administrative duties of running a small firm. Her dual-state licensure allows her to advise clients with ties to both North Carolina and California.
Wood maintains professional ties through bar associations and legal groups and continues to accept matters through The E A Wood Law Office. She currently handles immigration-related legal matters and other practice issues arising from her licensure in North Carolina and California.
