Practice Areas

Legal issues usually arise at the worst possible time.  We understand that you have other priorities, and that you need someone who can take care of your legal problem with the least possible disruption to you and your family.  We can help you with your legal needs – and if we can’t help you, we will refer you to an attorney who can.  Our firm will charge you a fair rate, and will guide you through the entire process.  This page explains our firm’s practice areas so you can learn more about your legal issues.  Let The Moore Law Offices lend you a hand with your case.

Business Organizations and Transactions—Legal issues and pitfalls abound at every stage of a business’s existence, from the initial start-up to dissolution or sale of the company.  It is important to have expert legal counsel assist you right from the beginning, when you are deciding on a business form (corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or another business entity), as well as further down the road.  At The Moore Law Offices, an experienced business lawyer will help you deal with the almost endless variety of legal matters that will, sooner or later, arise when you do business.  From buy-sell agreements, joint ventures, and liability issues to mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and business successions, you need intelligent advice that will promote your success.  We can tell you not only what the law requires, but also how you can seize opportunities and avoid problems in your business. 

Family Law—Family law matters can be emotionally draining, particularly when children are involved.  Divorce, custody, and support all concern the most basic human relationships: husband and wife and parent and child.  When a family law issue occurs, it is important to remember that these are legal relationships, as well as emotional bonds.  You have rights and responsibilities in those relationships that will be protected or enforced by the court.  You must not let yourself be blinded by the emotions involved so that you neglect the many difficult legal issues that will arise in a family law case.  If you are facing a divorce, child custody or visitation, support, or another family-related legal issue, you need expert legal assistance to protect your rights.  The Moore Law Offices can make sure that you are not taken advantage of during the proceedings.

Insurance—Insurance pervades most areas of our lives.  From the cars we drive to our very lives, there seems to be a policy available for almost everything.  Insurance policies are contracts, and the problems that can arise with contracts can also occur in insurance.  There may be a coverage question of whether the policy applies to a certain situation, or whether the policyholder holder or the insurer is liable for losses in a given case.  An insured may allege that the insurance company or its representative acted in bad faith when denying a claim, or may claim that the policy was misrepresented at the time of purchase.  At The Moore Law Offices we are conversant with all aspects of insurance law, and we can help resolve your concerns.

Litigation—To ensure the best possible results for the client, an attorney needs to be willing to take a case all the way to trial.  Many lawyers avoid the courtroom, but at The Moore Law Offices, we thrive on trying lawsuits.  We have built a reputation for credibility in the courts and in the legal profession, and that reputation aids our success.  Our civil litigation work has encompassed motion practice, bench and jury trials, and even appeals where necessary.  Our thorough preparation and understanding of all of the facts is essential to our trial work, and that effort yields real results for our clients.  We do not take cases with the idea that we will settle – we take cases with litigation in mind, and we try cases to win.

Personal Injury—If you or someone you love has been injured, you know how complicated life suddenly becomes.  At The Moore Law Offices, our goal is to make at least one part of your recovery as easy as possible.  When you are injured through the carelessness or recklessness of another, maybe through a car crash or other accident, the law says that the responsible party owes you financial compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and other hardships.  Your family may also have a right to compensation.  We can guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation.  Whether you are hurt by a car accident, a slip and fall or a defective product, remember – you are owed this money.  At this difficult time, you need to focus on your physical and mental recovery – let us take care of your legal recovery. 

Probate/Estate Planning and Administration—It may be hard to think about how your family would deal with your affairs and finances after you pass away, but it is essential to do so.  Estate planning allows you to impact the future by directing how you would like your property and assets distributed upon your death.  Clients may chose to do this by having us help with preparing a will or establishing one of many kinds of trusts.  Without proper planning, your estate could go to the government or to people who you did not choose.  At The Moore Law Offices, we can assist you in making informed decisions about your estate and determine if you need a will.  For existing estates, you and your family may have to go through the probate system, which allows the courts to oversee the distribution of a loved one’s assets.  The probate process is easier on all involved if the correct planning has been done in advance.  Let us help you with that process.

Real Estate—Real estate is a major investment, and can cause major headaches.  If you are selling a house or buying a house or a business property, we can help.  Our firm can draft or review purchase agreements and closing documents to smooth your transaction.  We can confirm that there is good title to the property and verify that there are no disputes about ownership or boundaries.  Our attorneys can make sure that any transaction complies with local and state property and environmental rules so that there are no unwelcome surprises as the deal moves forward.  We also help clients with construction defects, commercial leases, and property disclosure and condition issues.  Contact us for experienced real estate assistance.
