About William
Biography
After graduating Law School, I served as an Assistant District Attorney in Houston, Texas, for 3 1/2 years where I learned how to try lawsuits. I prosecuted everything from misdemeanors to murders. Leaving the DA's office, I went into private practice handling most everything that came in the door.
In 1989, I was certified in two areas by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization-- Family Law and Civil Trial Law. I'm very proud of these certifications. The qualifications are restrictive and the exams were difficult. I've maintained these certifications by being re-certified every 5 years.
My proudest accomplishments are as a husband for 40 years to my best friend, father to three children and grandfather to three wonderful little girls.
Dedicated to our clients, committed to our people, professional to all.

Child Custody Case
We had a difficult and unusual child custody case which we had talked to several different lawyers before Mr Moore. The lawyers before were not as positive as Mr Moore, they did not think we could win our case of termination of my daughters father and didn't even want to persue that avenue. Mr Moor...
