My name is Adam Elkins. I was born in 1991 and raised in Montgomery County by my parents Mike and Angela Elkins, along with my brother and sister Aaron and Katie Elkins. I graduated from West Montgomery High School in 2009 and went on to obtain my Bachelor of Arts from North Carolina State University in 2013. I obtained my law degree from Campbell University in 2016. I moved to Albemarle in 2019, where I currently reside with my wife Morgan.
I began my career in private practice in Montgomery County and handled a variety of criminal and civil cases. My practice included appearing for indigent clients in criminal cases, as well as, representing clients in child custody, divorce and other civil cases. In January of 2019, I became a prosecutor in the 28th prosecutorial district under District Attorney T. Lynn Clodfelter, which consists of Stanly and Montgomery counties. In 2022 I was promoted to Chief Assistant District Attorney by Mr. Clodfelter. In this role, I supervise the prosecutors and staff in the office and manage day-to-day functions. As an assistant district attorney, I handle a variety of cases from theft to drug trafficking. Most importantly, I prosecute sexual assault crimes committed against children or adults in Stanly County. I routinely meet with victims and advocate on their behalf to seek justice in their cases.
