Michael J. Moore, Partner
Mike has been practicing in Georgia since 2011 and has extensive experience as a civil litigator, specializing in defending individuals and corporations involved in cases of motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, construction defects, and many other general torts. He has earned a reputation as a formidable advocate who thrives in the courtroom, consistently delivering wins for his individual and insurance clients in complex and contentious cases. Mike’s ability to distill intricate coverage issues into clear, persuasive strategies has made him a sought-after counsel for insurers facing everything from routine claims to multimillion-dollar disputes. He has tried numerous cases to verdict for juries throughout the Atlanta area and has had a great deal of success in both motions and appellate practice on behalf of his clients.
What sets Mike apart, however, is his unwavering commitment to building trusting relationships with his clients and emphasizing accessibility in an industry where such qualities are often overlooked. Unlike many other attorneys, he believes that being available to discuss a case is non-negotiable—whether it’s a quick phone call or a detailed strategy session. Although it sounds simple, his clients know they can count on him to personally pick up the phone or respond promptly to their messages, a rarity that has cemented his reputation as a dependable partner and advocate. This dedication to open, reliable communication, paired with his litigation and trial prowess, ensures that insurers not only benefit from his legal acumen but also feel genuinely supported throughout the process.
