Taurus Becton

Distinguished Lawyer

Civil Litigation

4030 Wake Forest Rd #300, Raleigh, NC 27609, USA

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.

Distinguished Lawyer

Criminal Defense Law

150 Fayetteville St #450, Raleigh, NC 27601, USA

Kimberly Moore is an assistant federal defender in Raleigh, North Carolina, with the Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Eastern District of North Carolina. She is listed among the assistant federal defenders assigned to the Raleigh office, which is located at 150 Fayetteville Street, Suite 450. The office provides legal assistance to people facing criminal charges in federal court who cannot afford a lawyer. Its representation is based on appointments by the federal district court under the Criminal Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. section 3006A. Established in 1986, the office serves the Eastern District of North Carolina rather than operating as a private law firm. Raleigh is the organization’s main office. Its geographic coverage encompasses 44 counties, extending from Wake County to the North Carolina coast and accounting for nearly half of the state. The organization also maintains satellite offices in Greenville, Wilmington, New Bern and Elizabeth City, with both staffed and unstaffed locations. Moore’s Raleigh colleagues include attorneys in trial, appellate, and research-and-writing roles. The Raleigh staff also includes mitigation specialists, paralegals, investigators and case-management personnel. These positions form part of the broader office in which Moore is listed as an assistant federal defender; the office’s stated purpose is representation of individuals facing federal criminal charges who lack the means to hire counsel.
