This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant legal mind

After years of abusive litigation, I finally found Attorney John Vernon Moore. Unlike my previous lawyers, he acted immediately—filing motions that protected me and exposed my ex’s dishonest schemes. Thanks to his skill and dedication, we won both contempt motions, and my ex’s attempt to reduce child... support was denied. Attorney Moore and his team fought for me with passion and integrity, delivering justice for my children and me. Because of Attorney Moore, I can finally breathe knowing my ex will think twice before attempting frivolous litigation again. He is the most honest, brilliant, and committed family law attorney I have ever worked with.

My experience with John Moore

For anyone on the fence about retaining John—don’t hesitate. John Moore and his paralegal Marianna guided me through the divorce process, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Every step was clearly laid out, and they were always on top of everything—I don’t think I ever had to ask for an update once. Joh...n was my biggest advocate throughout the entire journey, and I truly couldn’t have done it without him. If you want a team that’s professional, responsive, and truly in your corner, this is who you want by your side.

Five Stars

I can't say enough good things about John Vernon More. Going through a divorce is never easy, but having John on my side made all the difference. He fought hard for me every step of the way and got me the best possible outcome—including custody and alimony, which I didn’t think was even possible at o...ne point. He's incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients. I always felt like I was in good hands. If you're looking for a divorce attorney who will go above and beyond for you, John is the one you want. I'm beyond grateful for everything he did for me.
