Miranda R. McCoy, Attorney at Law

Miranda Renee McCoy has been practicing law since 1995. Since then, she has engaged in various areas of practice, which has made her adept at learning new skills, dealing with numerous types of personalities, and most importantly, able to handle multi-tasked positions under pressure. Immediately prior to forming her solo practice, Ms. McCoy was the primary bankruptcy attorney for the Law Firm of Hutchens, Senter and Britton, one of the largest foreclosure and bankruptcy law firms in the State. She performed the job of two attorneys while the firm’s other bankruptcy attorney was on recalled status with the U.S. Army. In her position as bankruptcy attorney, she managed the firm’s bankruptcy department; including being ultimately responsible for more than 1,000 active cases each month and supervising 15 staff members.

During Ms. McCoy’s tenure with Hutchens, Senter and Britton, the number of cases referred to the bankruptcy department each month almost doubled, increasing from an average of 285 per month to an average of 450 per month. Ms. McCoy successfully oversaw an increase in staff to handle the increased caseload. She implemented a more streamlined and efficient motions practice which expedited results for the firm’s clients and increased the number of favorable outcomes for those clients. Those clients included Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Inc. Ms. McCoy frequently dealt with the processors and managers of these national corporations, ensuring that their questions were answered in a timely manner and that their needs were met without delay.

Prior to her bankruptcy position, she operated her own part-time practice from June, 2000 to November, 2001. From October, 1996 to June, 2000, Ms. McCoy served as the in-house general counsel for a local government agency which served the behavioral healthcare needs for four counties. This agency employed 400 people and served more than 7,000 clients. Ms. McCoy was responsible for employment law matters, over 200 annual contracts with vendors and healthcare providers, and representing the agency’s concerns and entitlements via administrative law matters with the State.

Miranda has been the co-chair of the North Carolina Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Division Military Task Force since 2003. During this time she has helped Fort Bragg’s Army Community Service’s Holiday Hearts drive by helping get donations of gifts for Soldier’s children on the installation.
