Angela has developed a burgeoning appellate practice across several areas of civil, administrative, and regulatory practice. Because of her expertise, trial counsel routinely refer matters to Angela for handling throughout the appellate process. They also enlist her services to consult or collaborate in positioning and preserving key appellate issues at trial and in developing innovative procedural, briefing, and oral argument strategies for appeals. She is frequently called upon to prepare amicus curiae briefs for industry groups in important cases passing through our appellate courts. Active in the North Carolina Bar Association, Angela serves on its Appellate Rules Committee and Judicial Independence Committee, and is a past Chair of its Appellate Practice Section.

As a litigator, Angela is a member of Young Moore’s Transportation and Logistics team and advises and represents motor carriers, brokers (3PLs), intermediaries, and shippers in a variety of matters, including those implicating federal preemption defenses under the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAAA). She has also assisted insurance companies servicing the trucking industry in resolving occupational compensation and occupational accident insurance claims and has extensive experience in representing employers and insurers in transportation and other industries through all stages of worker’s compensation claims litigation before the North Carolina Industrial Commission and appellate courts.
