Cumberland County Board of Commissioners recognizes attorneys

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

Cumberland County attorney RICK MOOREFIELD and District Attorney BILLY WEST were recently recognized by the Cumberland County Board of Commissioners and presented with clocks at a local meeting.

 

Moorefield, the former president of the North Carolina Association of County Attorneys, was named Outstanding County Attorney of the year in 2019 by his peers. He currently serves as the president of the National Association of County Civil Attorneys and is a member of the National Association of Counties Board of Directors.

 

Moorefield’s clock was given to him to recognize those positions. 

 

West served as an assistant district attorney for a decade before his election to Cumberland County District Attorney in 2010. He was elected to serve as president of the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, and from there, was appointed to serve as N.C.’s representative for the National District Attorneys Association. In July of this year, West was sworn in as the organization’s president.

 

West received a clock to recognize his service in that role.
