Michael Stephen Moody

I was arrested in 2010 for three crimes for which i was innocent of. My original lawyer at the time whom I will leave unnamed performed sub-par at best. This first lawyer gave me a great song and dance right up until he recieved full payment from me. It was then extremely difficult to reach him. He a...lso miss-informed me of the law, and tried to talk me into taking a plea bargin even though I was innocent of the charges. He was trying to make his job as easy as possible with no regard for my future. The charges were eventually drop against me; however, I still ended up with a police record due to Georgia law. My original defense lawyer said that it would be nearly "impossible to exspunge , and that he could not help me ". In March of 2012, I started searching for a lawyer that could possibly help me with having my police record exspunged. I hired another attorney whom I will leave unnamed that I thought could be of help to me. I made another poor hiring decesion that cost me money and caused me undue worry. I then decieded to let this person go. After speaking with Attorney Moody, I hired him. He was the first lawyer to fully exsplain the law and how it applies to my situation. He then went to work on my case and presented my situation to the the District Attorney. I have since been granted my request for exspungment. Unlike my first two defense lawyers, this lawyer is motovated. He is very bright and hard working. He is a true credit to the legal profession as well as to current and future clients.

It is with great honor and satisfaction that I write a review of the handling of my case matter by Mr. Moody. I was facing a very serious, career altering charge of Aggravated Battery stemming from a domestic assault situation wherein I was forced to protect my life. I had petitioned many well known... Savannah lawyers to accept my case without success. Their denial was based on the fact that my case had not been convicted after 2 years of the initial charges; petitioning the DA to dismiss my charges and placing myself on the radar was similar to Russian Roulette. I had given up hope and had almost accepted the position of the other lawyers and risked homelessness not being able to re-enter the field of Education; for which I have 12 years of stellar experience. I made contact with Mr. Moody; he fully listened to my case. The initial consultation lasted over an hour compared to the 5 minutes provided by the other lawyer without who lacked conviction and spineless. Mr. Moody outlined a plan for petitioning my case with the DA. He fully explained his plan and kept me informed throughout the process updates by phone, and email correspondence. In the end he was successfully in not only getting my charges dismissed but he also was success in having my case expunged. I am forever grateful for his expertise, conviction, kindness and hard work. My life is now back on track after a 2 year stand still. Mr. Moody’s work was second to none and his rates were the least expensive of all the attorney’s that I had contacted. He believed in my case as much as I did. He was more interested in my exoneration rather than accepting my case as a paycheck. I owe him my life and I am forever grateful for being blessed that God allowed Mr. Moody to take on my case. He has the heart of a lion and gentleness of a lamb. R.Walker
