Jody Moore is a founding partner of Moore Hutchins Moore, LLP (formerly Johnson Moore) and a Ventura County native who has spent 25 years doing one thing: fighting for California's most vulnerable elders.
Born and raised in Ventura County, Jody built her career on the belief that every person in a nursing home, residential care facility, or long-term care setting deserves dignity, safety, and someone willing to fight fiercely on their behalf. That belief has never changed. The firm she leads today — Moore Hutchins Moore — is its fullest expression.
Jody has tried some of California's most complex elder abuse and neglect cases, taking on the systemic understaffing, chronic underfunding, and corporate indifference that put vulnerable people at risk. Her trial record has earned her recognition as both San Francisco and Ventura County Trial Lawyer of the Year, and she was honored with the Ventura County Women Trial Lawyers Legacy Award for her contributions to women in the legal profession. She lectures nationally on long-term care litigation and is regarded by peers as a leading voice on trial strategy and case framing — not only within elder abuse, but across plaintiff's practice broadly.
At Moore Hutchins Moore, Jody leads a team of three named partners whose careers, like hers, have been dedicated to this singular mission. The firm she founded reflects everything she has learned over 25 years about what it means to represent a family at their most vulnerable moment: litigate the case vigorously, keep the clients informed and make sure they know their case is being handled as the unique case that it is, and pursue full accountability.
Pursuing Justice. Protecting the Vulnerable.

The Best of the Best
We were so blessed to have found Jody and her team at Johnson-Moore. We spoke with 2 other attorneys before her, and right away we could tell her knowledge in Elder law sets her apart from the rest. She gave great advice and didn't push us to go one way or another, and ultimately let us make the deci...

Looking for a great attorney
Our son developed a pressure wound from his hospitalization. He is in a conservatorship, and we took the pictures to our attorneys for help and advice.

Mother
The perfect professional team to work my son's case. I fully trusted the team to bring the case before the judge. I would recommend the firm for a family who has been in crisis because a loved one was hurt, abuse and neglected.

21 Year Old Client
I found Johnson Moore in 2017 after my Father's passing due to malpractice. At the time I was only 21 years old, not knowing what to do, or how to even go about things.
