Biography

Angela Farag Craddock is a partner at Young Moore, focusing her practice on helping businesses and institutional clients navigate civil litigation, state administrative litigation, and appeals. She leads the firm’s Appellate Practice and is a member of the Transportation and Logistics, Workers’ Compensation, and Insurance Regulation Practice groups. She also helped to spearhead formation of Young Moore’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee as its inaugural Chair and has been a key contributor to recruiting efforts throughout her tenure with the firm.

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 has served on its Appellate Rules Committee and was recently elected to serve as Chair of its Appellate Practice Section for the 2023-2024 term.

As a litigator, Angela is a member of Young Moore’s Transportation and Logistics team and advises and represents clients in matters involving trucking accidents and litigation. She has 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.

Angela was voted into Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite Appellate Practice Hall of Fame in 2023 and is recognized in Best Lawyers in America® and North Carolina Super Lawyers. She is also a recipient of the Westfield Golden Gavel Award in recognition of her outstanding achievement in appellate advocacy.

Angela lives in Wake Forest with her husband, Tyler. In her spare time she is a passionate Tar Heel fan, a country music enthusiast, and enjoys singing, guitar, and film.
