Family and Divorce Law

6401 Carmel Rd, Suite 102, Charlotte, NC 28226

I grew up in the suburbs of Memphis Tennessee, and like many people here in Charlotte, I relocated to North Carolina after completing my graduate studies. In law school I spent my time studying and working at my internships. Unlike most of my classmates, I attended law school after completing a postgraduate degree and entering the workforce. My postgraduate studies were focused in criminology and criminal justice, in which I largely focused on studying the generational transmission of domestic violence. I had every intention of then pursuing a career in law enforcement after law school, and spent my law school years working at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I also interned at a well-established family law firm before receiving my law license. Following law school I decided to practice law for a period of time before planning on returning to the Bureau. It was during this time that I decided to commit to the practice of law. I worked at the firm I had interned at and another highly respected family law firm in Charlotte before opening Freedom Law | North Carolina. While I am grateful for my past opportunities and the experience I gained from my former positions, over the years I realized there is a disconnect between the traditional ways of practicing law and meeting today’s clients’ needs. If I were a client, I would not only want an attorney who is competent and able to handle my case, I would want an attorney that I could relate to and really feel like my story is important. That is what I hope to bring to my clients at Freedom Law | North Carolina. It is your life, your path, and your choice. I’m just here to help guide you through it.

Taurus Becton focuses on workers’ compensation law. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill School of Law, he worked for one of the largest insurance defense firms in North Carolina, primarily representing employers in workers’ compensation cases. This experience has given him a keen appreciation for workers’ compensation law from both sides of the table. Taurus has handled hundreds of workers’ compensation claims, has tried many cases before the North Carolina Industrial Commission, and has taken several cases to the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Even as a defense attorney, Taurus remained aware of and sensitive to the concerns and unique position of a plaintiff. He ultimately determined that representing injured workers who are in need of legal representation would be the most rewarding way to practice law.
