“We Stand Up For You®, so you can Stand Up for those you love."

- Christopher H. Roberts

I feel very fortunate to work for a firm that truly provides me the opportunity to serve my clients. Every client has his or her own story, and CR Legal Team encourages all its employees to take the time to listen to their clients, to understand who they are, and to treat them like family. I serve every client with the same respect and attention I would give to my brother or sister, my father or mother, or my son or daughter.

Bio

Tyler Nabors is a litigation attorney who assists his clients in achieving their goals through clearly understanding who they are, truly listening to their unique stories, and successfully avoiding a “one-size-fits-all” approach in determining their individual needs. His efforts to help his clients find peace and reach their goals are enhanced by his determination to touch the lives of those he has the opportunity to serve and by his passion for learning about new areas of law in personal injury, insurance, wills and estate litigation, bad faith litigation, and long-term disability with a focus on ERISA litigation.

Tyler studied Comparative Politics at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland; graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro; received his Master’s degree in Advanced Legislative Systems from North Carolina State University; and obtained his Juris Doctor from the Campbell University School of Law. While in law school, he spent two years as editor of the Campbell Law Review and served as a member of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America Trial Team and as vice president of the Campbell Law School Student Government.

He and his wife Sarah have two children, Ashe and Mabry, and he enjoys spending time with his family, coaching his son’s soccer team, and serving as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of his children’s school. Having been born and raised in the mountains of North Carolina, Tyler further enjoys being outdoors, hiking, snow skiing, camping, and trail running. He has also climbed to the summit of Mount Rainier and has twice rafted the Grand Canyon.

The Personal Injury Lawyers

Who'd Rather You Never Need Them

Kimberly and I met in 1992 as kindred spirits, both drawn to the idea of building something larger than ourselves—an extension of our family committed to serving others. We married in 1994, while I was practicing law, and Kimberly worked in healthcare consulting. We thought we understood how the legal system worked. Then September 19, 1995 changed everything.

It’s the worst possible situation to be in after a serious injury. I’m sitting across from a guy who’s supposed to be one of the better traumatic brain injury lawyers, but I’m realizing he doesn’t understand what Kimberly and I are going through!

I got hit by a tractor-trailer just two months before. My wife Kimberly—nineteen weeks pregnant with our first child—has had to watch me deal with personality changes, possible lifelong symptoms, and terrifying fears of our family's future.

What makes it all worse is the fact that I am a lawyer with years of experience, and yet even I can’t get the kind of representation we desperately need. It’s a scary situation.

I grew up in Charlotte. My mother was a teacher, my father a manager working with blue-collar contractors. My parents instilled in me a simple principle: stand up for people who can’t stand up for themselves. Becoming an Eagle Scout reinforced it.

Kimberly grew up in Rockingham, a small North Carolina community. Her parents, a nurse and a salesman, also instilled the importance of community service. Sunday mornings singing in youth prison ministry, working with rehabilitation centers, partnering with local organizations – all part of Kimberly’s youth and what shaped her heart.

My brain injury accident showed us that even being on the inside of the legal profession didn’t protect us from getting poor representation. Our lawyer didn’t really serve us well because he couldn’t put himself in our shoes.

After my personal injury, I knew exactly what kind of lawyer I wanted to be:

someone who truly understands what clients are going through because I've been there myself. Kimberly joined me, bringing her healthcare background and passion for wellness. We built our practice around a simple idea—we don't just handle your case, we understand your whole journey, and we prepare you for it.

Today we’ve been in business for 35 years and we’ve recovered billions of dollars for our clients, but more importantly, we’ve advanced our services to what we call “whole person legal care.” We don’t just fight for financial recovery—we address the physical, emotional, and mental needs that make up a whole person. We prepare people before accidents happen through safety education. We stand beside them during their recovery. And we help them figure out where to go when their time with us is done.

What drives us is knowing that if you know better, you have to do better. Through our Roberts Center, we give away thousands of bicycle helmets, teach CPR, provide scholarships, and run safety programs in schools because we’d rather prevent accidents happening to your family than litigate them.
