Landmark case in NC

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

AMAZING lawyer

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!!

Truly A BLESSING!

I received a Speeding Ticket on I95 and hired Ms. Gore to handle it for me. I was advised by others that a Lawyer can do nothing about it. Well let me tell you....not only was it dismissed......but Paralegal Zilla and Ms. Gore are the sweetest and most professional people you will lever meet! Ms. Gore is persistent and will not stop till justice is done! Oh and the price? I am still AMAZED how reasonable! I recommend them HIGHLY! On a 0-10 scale....Ms. Gore and Zilla are a 12! Thank you so much Ladies and God Bless y'all....Gene:)

Speeding Ticket

Attorney Gore and the staff were great to deal with. Handled everything quickly and followed up promptly. Extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Speeding Ticket

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.
