About Colin

Learn Colin’s areas of practice.

I consider myself a proud citizen of Athens, Georgia, though I am originally from Chesapeake, Virginia. I graduated from The College of William and Mary in 1995, and then pursued a career playing guitar in a heavy-metal band in New York. After a year, my band-mate and I moved to Georgia, where our band played and recorded in the Athens music scene for several years. I ran a small recording studio and produced all genres of music for various bands. I loved recording, but I wanted a new challenge, so in 2002 I moved to Los Angeles to attend law school. I planned to study music-related law, but I was immediately drawn to the trial and litigation aspects of the legal profession. I interned both at a medical malpractice defense firm, and at the LA County District Attorney’s Office. I graduated from Southwestern University School of Law in 2005, passed the California Bar Exam, and moved right back to Athens.

After passing the Georgia Bar Exam, I worked as a prosecutor in the Athens-Clarke County Solicitor’s office. My legal cases focused on DUI and domestic violence. After three years as a prosecutor, I left the Solicitor’s Office and joined an insurance-defense firm in Athens where my primary assignment was defending car-wreck cases for insurance companies. At this time, I also began to build my own criminal defense practice. After five years at that firm, I decided to go into business for myself. I opened Moriarty Law, PC in January of 2015 to help people who had been injured or arrested.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Susanna, and my daughter, Lennon. I still play guitar when I can, but not quite as loudly.

Please contact me if you feel I’m the right attorney for you.

Knowledgeable, Professional, Competent and Personable.
I was injured in a car wreck in November and called Collin a few days after my crash. I did not want the hassle of fighting insurance companies and the hospital as I am trying to recover from my severe injuries. Collins showed concern for my well being. His first concern was that I get the medical help I needed. I did not have to be concerned with fighting the insurance companies or hospital. Collin took care of all the legal process and I did not have to lift a finger. Collin is knowledgeable and Competent in his profession. A genuine good guy. I so appreciate all your hard work and will be highly recommending you to anyone who is in need of a great attorney. Thank you

Posting my unsolicited letter of thanks I sent to Colin after our case had concluded.
Colin, Thank you for the very capable work you did on behalf of myself, my siblings, and most of all, my dear Dad. You are a quintessential professional with both the technical and human relations skills needed for this case. I had full confidence in you from the time of our initial meeting, and as the case went along, appreciated your thorough and timely updates, as well as the negotiations you performed in resolving it in the resulting settlement. I have spoken with Jon since you contacted me in late June and thanked him, so will take this opportunity to tell you I am very happy Jon referred me to you, and am grateful for everything you did individually and as a team. Please do keep us updated on the criminal case as information becomes available. With my warm regards, Anonymous

Couldn't have asked for a better attorney
Mr. Moriarty went above and beyond to help me in my case. I owe him a great deal of thanks and praise. He treated me like a person and not just another case. He was compassionate and caring and I could tell he put forth a full effort. I would recommend him to anyone seeking counsel.
