About Tara

Small town values. Big time results. Passionately defending southeastern North Carolina clients.

I genuinely enjoy practicing law, meeting my clients, and doing my best to solve their problems. Each day brings a new face and a new challenge, and I am honored that I get to spend my days in my beloved hometown advocating for my neighbors. My focus is on traffic law and criminal defense in Bladen, Brunswick, and Columbus Counties and traffic law in Robeson County. I am committed to learning something new every day, and I can honestly say that so far in my legal practice, I have done so.

Review Tara Gore

Landmark case in NC

Posted by

My dad was charged with 2nd degree murder. Tara went above and beyond to make sure every detail was presented in the case and represented us in a way that words will never be able to express. She was available to answer questions my family and I had way past “office hours” and was always approachable. Tara has knowledge of the law and made sure no detail was overlooked and no stone went unturned!! My dad was ultimately granted immunity from all charges and we were finally able to pick up the pieces and move forward thanks to Tara!! Thank You Tara for being a part of helping to get our lives back on track!! I HIGHLY recommend Tara for any legal needs you may have

AMAZING lawyer

Posted by

Tara had an amazing response time when I reached out regarding a speeding ticket. Without missing a beat, Tara reviewed my case, reached out to the county where the ticket occurred and provided options to me. Tara always picked up the phone when I called, responded to emails and assisted to make the process seamless. Best experience I have ever had with a lawyer! Will only use Tara Gore as my attorney from now on! Highly recommend!!

Speeding Ticket

Posted by

Our paralegal Zilla did a fantastic job of communicating and keeping us informed. This was important since we are more than 2 hours away. Working with Mr. Gore was truly a blessing, he was able to get my daughter's speeding ticket reduced substantially! I certainly recommend him.

Attorney Tara Gore is one of the brightest lawyers I've had the pleasure of being associated with. She is fearless, practical, and well respected throughout the state legal community.
