Bill Moore has been a certified mediator for nearly two decades. He has been active in complex commercial litigation for more than 40 years, trying and settling cases and appeals for individuals, couples, families, representing shareholders, in derivative and class actions, advising "Mom & Pop's" businesses, multi-national corporations, employees, managers, employers, commercial landlords, residential tenants; homeowners, buyers, sellers, owners associations and non-profit boards.
From Magistrate's Court to the North Carolina Supreme Court; in counties stretching from the Outer Banks to the Appalachian Trail; from the United States District Courts for Western, Middle, and Eastern Districts of North Carolina, to the Fourth and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. Mr. Moore has likely been "in the shoes" of the attorneys in one case or another, and has represented your side of the conflict on more than one occasion - his experience and neutrality allows all sides to speak candidly, to maximize the time and effort needed to decide how to resolve the lawsuit, whether by settlement negotiation or jury trial.
With broad experience in dealing with individuals and corporate entities caught up in the maze of litigation, my aim is to create a supportive environment where adverse parties can safely process the facts and circumstances believed to be known (or freshly discovered), to more keenly assess all claims and defenses in an interactive settlement dialogue fostering compromise and collaboration based on clarity and respect.

Testimonials
"Bill Moore served as Party Selected Mediator in some of the most complicated and convoluted disputes of my 30+ year career as a litigator. Bill was able to manage the parties' emotions and got them to focus on the issues and find rational solutions during the mediated settlement process. He works hard and thinks outside the box to help the parties resolve their disputes. I highly recommend Bill Moore for anyone in need of mediation services. "
Aaron "Doc" Bradshaw, Colleague
“Bill Moore's 44 years in the courtroom as a successful trial lawyer afford him a unique and vivid insight into a wide array of issues and problems that should be addressed at mediated settlement conferences.
In addition, his long experience as a certified Superior Court Mediator since 2006 gives him an exceptional understanding of the dynamics of mediation in any kind of Superior Court civil lawsuit.
I urge and highly recommend that you seriously consider letting him help you settle your case.”

FAQs
How does mediation work?
Mediation involves a neutral third party, the mediator, who assists in facilitating communication between conflicting parties to reach mutually agreed-upon solutions
What are the benefits of mediation?
Mediation offers a quicker, more cost-effective, and less adversarial way to resolve disputes, allowing parties to have more control over the outcome
Is mediation legally binding?
A settlement reached at Mediation must be reduced to a written agreement physically signed by the parties and their lawyers, which forms a legally binding contract, and such a case is reported back to the court by the Mediator as having been settled, which is sufficient to remove the matter from the court docket subject to the required filing of a dismissal with prejudice of the pending litigation, and which settlement, if upheld, can then be enforced by the courts as to its terms.
