Meet Carollyn Sierra
Carollyn joins Tharrington Smith as an associate, bringing a strong foundation in family law developed through hands-on experience during law school. She completed two semesters with the Gailor Family Law Litigation Clinic, assisting in the representation of indigent clients who otherwise couldn’t afford legal services. Carollyn also interned at Dobson Law Firm, gaining valuable insights while working closely with the firm’s family law attorney. Additionally, she spent her 1L summer clerking at Hutchens Law Firm in Fayetteville, NC, further honing her legal skills.
Bilingual in English and Spanish, Carollyn brings both linguistic and cultural depth to her work. Outside of the office, she enjoys reading, exploring Raleigh’s coffee shops, and spending quality time with her family.
