About Kara
Kara North built a practice out of courtrooms and client rooms. She trained in business before she turned to law. She earned a J.D. from the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in 2010 and holds a B.S. in Business Management from Utah Valley University.
Her legal career began immediately after law school. In 2010 she joined Alverson Taylor Mortensen & Sanders as an associate. The following year she moved to Fillmore Spencer LLC, where she continued handling civil matters and gaining trial experience. Those early years gave her regular time in state courts and a grounding in litigation strategy.
By 2022 North had moved into partnership roles. She served as a partner at Johnson Livingston and later that year took on the title of managing partner and trial lawyer at Moxie Law Group. Colleagues describe her as someone who spends a lot of time preparing cases for trial and testing legal theories in court. Her practice has involved hands-on work at every stage of litigation, from pleadings to jury selection.
North is admitted to practice in both Utah and Nevada. She has been active in bar and trial lawyer organizations. She led the Central Utah Bar Association as president from 2020 to 2021. In 2022 she became chair of the Women’s Caucus of the Utah Association for Justice and holds membership in the Nevada Association for Justice. Those roles have put her in regular contact with other plaintiff-side attorneys and court personnel across state lines.
Her work centers on contested civil matters and courtroom advocacy. She has handled cases that require depositions, motion practice, and jury trials. Clients and other lawyers see her as comfortable in adversarial settings and persistent about following up on evidence and witness preparation. She spends significant time on trial planning and exhibits, and on building narratives that juries can understand.
Outside the courtroom, North has contributed to local bar programming and continuing legal education events. She has overseen committee work and helped organize panels on practice management and trial skills. Those efforts reflect a preference for practical, practice-oriented education rather than theory alone.
She continues to lead Moxie Law Group as managing partner and trial lawyer. Her current practice concentrates on civil litigation and courtroom representation in Utah and Nevada.
