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 and Laura moved to Charlotte in 2002 when Laura accepted a position as a reporter at a Charlotte TV station. It was at that time that Jon began his legal career in North Carolina. Jon has been recognized by North Carolina Super Lawyers® magazine every year from 2012 through 2023. He currently serves in the capacity of Vice President of Legislative Affairs for the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, and has previously served as Vice-President of Legal Affairs, Chair of the Auto Torts and 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.
Jon and Laura have their hands full chasing their two children around to a variety of youth sporting events. In the spare time he can find, Jon enjoys reading, exercising and cooking.
