The votes just keep on coming! This year we had more than 1,200 local residents submit a printed or online ballot as part of our annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Voting took place throughout the month of July and after we tabulated nearly 100,000 votes during August, we’re proud to present this 50-page magazine to you today. From the best accountant to the best wrecker service, the results inside are a celebration of the people, places and things that make our area great. We are always tinkering with the
Advertiser Index
categories to keep this contest up-todate and relavant. This year we added internet provider, printer and a few others and also eliminated some, as well. If there are categories you think we should add or subtract for next year, contact special sections coordinator Jeanne Brown at 252-407-9927 or jmbrown@rmtelegram.com. One of the other changes we made this year is to go from a “First-Second-Third” contest format to a “Winner” with three “Finalists.” This helps to eliminate ties and also provides you with an extra finalist in

t is an honor for Joe Hester to be chosen as the Readers’ Choice Best Attorney once again for 2014. We here at Hester, Moore & Tucker, PLLC have been in the business of helping people of the Twin Counties negotiate the criminal justice system for more than 35 years. Joe Hester began practicing law in 1977 as an Assistant Solicitor (now Assistant District Attorney) in the Seventh Judicial District serving Nash, Edgecombe and Wilson Counties. He joined the law firm of Moore, Diedrick, Whitaker & Carlisle in 1979 and later became a partner in the reorganized firm of Moore, Diedrick, Carlisle & Hester. He left the firm in 1999 and together with Thomas J. Moore II formed the partnership Hester & Moore, PLLC. The senior partners continue to practice to this day with Damian L. Tucker as Hester, Moore & Tucker, PLLC. Joe’s practice has consisted of criminal defense in the Seventh Judicial District in both the District and Superior Courts. He has handled thousands of cases, both felonies and misdemeanors. Joe is known by many of his peers as one of the most experienced DWI trial attorneys in the district.
