A Law Firm With Deep Roots In North Carolina
At DeLoatch & Hinton, PLLC, we can trace our roots back to the turn of the 20th century. In that time, we have helped countless clients with their legal needs and have earned a strong reputation in Edgecombe County and the surrounding areas of northeast North Carolina. From our office in Tarboro, we represent clients in a range of legal areas that include real estate, business, municipalities law, estate planning, estate administration and advocacy for our clients in the local community.
Mission: To share the love of Christ by providing superior dependable legal services to our clients.
Our Vision: To be the “go-to” transactional law firm in our region, maintaining sufficient staff and resources to serve our clients’ needs, while engaging the community to grow God’s Kingdom through friendship, service, and financial contributions.
Our Values: “But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously – take God seriously.” Micah 6:8 (The Message Bible)
Therefore, we will strive to
- be kind to everyone;
- be loyal advocates for our clients, families and community;
- communicate clearly and honestly;
- offer simple solutions when possible but pursue complex frameworks when necessary; and
- be a family-friendly employer to our staff and host to our clients.
