Jon R. Moore

Jon Moore grew up in the Kansas City, Missouri area where he earned his Eagle Scout badge and graduated as valedictorian of his high school class of 600. He attended college at Northwestern University, outside of Chicago. Following college, Jon got accepted to Georgetown University Law School but elected to defer his acceptance for a year. During that year, Jon returned to his hometown and taught English and Debate at a local high school. Jon continued to pursue his interest in teaching while at law school, by teaching a practical law class to students at a high school in Washington, DC.

After graduation from law school, Jon moved to Springfield, Missouri where his fiancée, Laura was working as a reporter at a local TV station. Jon worked at a small law firm in Springfield, and this experience led Jon to realize the joys of working for a small law firm and working for individuals, rather than corporations or insurance companies.

Jon has been recognized by North Carolina Super Lawyers® magazine every year from 2012 through 2023. He currently serves as Vice President of Legislative Affairs for the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, and has previously served as the Vice President of Legal Affairs, Chair of the Auto Torts, Premises Liability section, and Chair of the Products Liability section. Jon is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), an organization limited to attorneys with at least 10 civil jury trials, and served as Membership Chair for the Western North Carolina chapter.
