Lenell Nussbaum

Criminal defense lawyer | Mar 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Adam is the wisest and most ferociously compassionate lawyer I know. I had the honor of being co-counsel with him on serious felony cases with excellent results for the clients. He knows the law, he knows the system, and he knows people best of all. If I were charged with a crime, I would want Adam on my side."

Federal crime lawyer | May 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Adam Moore is the type of lawyer I hope one day to become--incredibly zealous for his clients, highly-skilled in the courtroom, and a true leader who is able to rally the defense team together and laser focus on the client's needs. I am a better attorney from having had the great opportunity to work with him and endorse his without reservation."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jan 10

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Adam Moore is the Dean of the Criminal Defense Bar in Central Washington. He has won many tough cases over the years. I once overheard a corrections officer say that if he got into any trouble Adam Moore would be the first lawyer he would call. When my firm has a conflict I often refer cases to Adam's office."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
