As a Stanly County native, Gene A. Riddle’s North Carolina roots run deep. He grew up in Aberdeen where his father was a longtime superintendent of Moore County Schools. Riddle credits his father for encouraging him to become a lawyer.

Today, he is the founder of Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, representing plaintiffs in a variety of matters including personal injury, workers’ compensation and Social Security disability. This year marks the firm’s 40th anniversary.

Riddle believes successful personal injury lawyers must possess “a strong desire to seek justice for clients and a belief that people who can’t afford a lawyer should have access to justice,” he says.

Practicing alongside his daughter, Alex, Riddle takes pride in his firm’s growth and development.

“I am proud to see my daughter take a leadership role,” he says. “With our new name, Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, we will continue our legacy of excellent client service for many years to come.”
