Knowledgeable and Professional

Ms. Moon is currently handling a case for me. I was served with court papers, at my office, completely out of the blue for contempt. Ms. Moon immediately put me at ease on my first office visit. She wanted every last detail I could give her about the incident. During the time that we were waiting... to go to court, she has kept me informed of every movement she has made on the case. Ms. Moon, as well as her assistant Ronni, were always accessible to me anytime I needed them. All phone calls and emails were always answered. Ms. Moon represented me in court last week and did an excellent job. Because of the complexity of the case, we are still waiting for a ruling from the Judge. Ms. Moon has continued to study all cases that are pertinent to my case and has forwarded them to the Judge. She spent a whole day with me preparing for my case and stayed after hours at her office to make sure I was comfortable and informed of the court proceedings. Ms. Moon came highly recommended to me and I did my research before I hired her. I was impressed with her resume of experience and the cases she had tried in the past. No matter what the outcome of my court experience, I felt that Ms. Moon gave 100% to my case. When I was with her I felt that I was the only client she had. I would recommend her with no hesitation......

Criminal Defense/ Felony , Superb Lawyer

Barbara Moon is without a doubt the most dependable, hard working, professional attorney you could hire . She represented me in a criminal case and went to bat fighting for me as soon as I obtained her services. I was never in the dark, she always returned my calls and I felt important. She truly ca...red about me and my well being from the very beginning. I could breathe after I knew I had her on my side. If anyone is ever in a situation where legal defense is needed , there is an encyclopedia of experience and a pit bull of trial lawyer available in Ms Moon.

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 10

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Barbara on various cases for many years, especially in cases outside Atlanta where local knowledge of the judicial system is something I just do not have but need to have the best chance to get the best result possible for my client. She always comes through. She has an uncanny knack for talking prosecutors into deals which most of us could not possibly achieve. Finally, she is loyal to her clients in ways that many criminal defense lawyers are not. I highly recommend Ms. Moon if you are in big trouble!"

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
