“Interacting with clients, helping solve problems, and leading clients through their difficult journey brings me immense joy and personal satisfaction. Working at CR Legal Team provides flexibility to use my judgment to find ways to help people. The leadership and employees of CR Legal Team challenge me every day to be a better person, lawyer, husband, and father.”
With his belief that helping clients gives him back ten-fold what he himself gives to clients, Dré Fleury knows he has contributed a small but significant amount of love and positive influence on the world. He litigated plaintiff personal injury cases for four years before joining CR Legal Team in July of 2007. Originally from Southern Pines, NC, Dré earned his Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Washington and Lee University and his Juris Doctor from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law. He has also completed the Charlotte’s Queens University McColl School of Business Harvard Management Development Program.
Dré and his wife Grace have two daughters, Elizabeth and Amelia, and two sons, André and Charles. Dré is passionate about spending time with his family, helping others, attending church, playing soccer, riding bikes, running, hiking, spending time in the mountains and at the beach, surfing, snorkeling, free-diving, spearfishing, fishing, and following politics.
His Bar admissions and memberships include the North Carolina State Bar, the North Carolina Bar Association, the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, and the Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys. He is also a member of the American Association for Justice (AAJ) and its Truck Litigation, Motor-Vehicle Negligence and Bus Litigation Practice Groups. Dré also serves as the Treasurer for the Bus Litigation Group of AAJ. Dré has gained admission to the U.S. Federal District Courts for the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of North Carolina, the Southern District of Illinois, and the Middle District of Tennessee. His dedication to helping others has earned him memberships in the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum and The National Trial Lawyers: Top 40 Under 40, and has also inspired him to become a CDL licensed truck driver.
