Andrea Moore

Andrea is a life-long advocate for children and families. The daughter of a teacher and an engineer, she was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the South Carolina Honors College at the University of South Carolina. She went on to attend the University of South Carolina School of Law, where she served as Associate Student Works Editor for the South Carolina Law Review and was a member of the Order of Wig and Robe. After graduation in 1999, she had the honor of clerking for the Honorable E.C. Burnett III, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina, before entering private practice in 2001.

Andrea practiced in a wide range of fields on both sides of the bar for several years before finding her calling in child advocacy work in 2008. From 2013-2018 she served as Executive Director of a nonprofit family resource center. She returned to law practice in 2019 and dedicated her career to working with and for the benefit of children. She is excited to join Thompson Dove Law Group and expand her work with children and families in new ways.

Andrea believes that investing in the wellbeing of children is the most important work we can do and she is proud to serve on the Boards of two community organizations that reflect and live out her values: the United Way of the Piedmont and the Mary Black Foundation. She is a long-time member of Tyger River Presbyterian Church, where she has served as Stewardship Elder and Christian Education Elder and currently teaches Preschool Sunday School. Andrea is married to David Rice, and together they have six now-grown children, a mixture of adopted, biological, and step, and six pets.
