About Verna Carol
Verna Carol Bash-Flowers built a career that crosses law, urban planning and corporate operations. She began in the liberal arts. She earned a B.A. from Rutgers University in 1977, majoring in Spanish and taking a minor in psychology. She followed that with a Master of Urban Planning from New York University in 1979. A decade later she added a J.D. from Quinnipiac University School of Law in 1990.
After law school she moved into private practice and into roles that combined legal and operational responsibilities. Records show she worked as a self-employed lawyer in the early 1990s and again later in the 2000s. Those periods of independent practice bookend stretches of contract and corporate work that shaped her day-to-day practice.
In the mid-2000s she took on document-intensive assignments. In 2006 she served as a temporary document review lawyer at Moore & Van Allen, then worked on document review for Family Dollar Stores, Inc. The next year she shifted into lease administration for Family Dollar Stores, handling the practical details that link property arrangements to a company's legal obligations. Those roles emphasized close work with records, filings and commercial leases rather than courtroom advocacy.
Her admissions reflect a range of federal and state practice permissions. She is admitted to practice in Connecticut and North Carolina and is authorized to appear before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Second and Fourth U.S. Courts of Appeals. That mix of state and appellate admissions complements her transactional and review-oriented practice.
Beyond the office she has taken part in local civic groups. She served as an ambassador for the Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce from 2009 to 2011 and was a member of the Gaston County Breakfast Rotary in 2009 and 2010. Those activities show a willingness to participate in community organizations where business and civic networks intersect.
Since 2009 she has listed herself as a self-employed lawyer operating from an office at Marietta Business Park. Her work over the years has included long stretches of document review and lease administration, together with the kinds of legal services an independent practitioner provides across the jurisdictions in which she is admitted. She currently practices as a self-employed lawyer handling document review, lease administration and related legal matters in her admitted jurisdictions.
