Amazing, professional, compassionate, simply great

Mr. Moore helped me get my son back after a nasty separation with my partner. He was professional, well prepared and knowledgeable throughout the course. I will definitely refer him.

I had the good fortune of watching him on trial and learning from him during daily calendar calls. He has the ability to captivate an audience in a way few lawyers are capable.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Ben is a fantastic attorney. He's passionate, smart, with spot-on instincts. One of his best assets is how well he understands people -- he knows what makes judges, juries and prosecutors tick, and will use that to his clients' advantage. You can see all of that come together when he's on trial. He's a VERY good trial attorney. I always made sure to check it out when he was on trial, because it was always special. As a former co-worker, I know Ben's work well, and I have nothing but respect for it. He gets my strongest possible endorsement."

"As a Federal Public Defender, I am constantly in Court fighting the most powerful government in the world, which charges and prosecutes individuals with meager resources. If I ever was in a bind against such heavy artillery, I would want someone like Ben Moore by my side and as my mouthpiece. This is the guy you want if you want to fight for your freedom or mitigate wrongdoing."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
