Sloan Goforth Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Statesville

Sloan Goforth Bio
As an attorney, my goal is to use my education and experience to provide each of my clients with excellent legal representation and to help resolve personal and business issues that happen in life.  Many times, the need for an attorney is due to a stressful or negative experience.  Having my own firm allows me to dedicate my time to your individual needs and protecting your rights.. I practice and have experience in several areas of law including: traffic, criminal, family, divorce, custody, personal injury, disability, as well as wills, trusts and estate planning.  Whether you are going through a divorce, have been injured on the job or need some assistance with planning for your future, we are here to help.. I grew up in Kings Mountain, NC where I participated in many sports and activities.  I received a scholarship from Appalachian State University to become a high school history teacher.  I graduated from Appalachian State University in 2002 and worked as a high school teacher at Hunter Huss High School in Gastonia, North Carolina.   My education and experience as a teacher allows me best serve my clients in trials and negotiations.  Many times judges and juries depend on the attorney to teach the law and present complex factual scenarios in an understandable manner.  I rely on my training and experience as a former teacher to present each case in a way that helps to educate the judge or jury.. After teaching in Gastonia, North Carolina, I decided to attend law school.  I graduated from the University Of South Carolina School Of Law in the spring of 2008.  My family and I relocated to my wife’s hometown of Statesville, North Carolina, where I enjoy many aspects of community involvement.  It is important to me to give back to the community I live in; therefore, I volunteer on many different boards including: United Way of Iredell County Board of Directors and Executive Committee, YMCA of Statesville – Local Board of Directors, Mitchell Community College Endowment Board, and the Civil Service Board.. I am a member of the Greater Statesville Rotary Club where I am a Paul Harris Member.   I attend church at First Presbyterian Church of Statesville and enjoy spending time with my children and family.  I am an avid Appalachian State University football fan and spend many Saturday afternoons in Boone, NC watching the team play.
