also known as J. Mark Moore, Mark Moore
I've spent more than twenty-five years litigating class actions and other complex matters. After an early career stint as an associate and then a partner at an LA-based national law firm where I represented the interests of major corporations in class actions, I switched sides in 2005 and started representing consumers and employees. I've been a partner at several boutique clas action firms and presently handle class actions and other mattters as Of Counsel with Gallo LLP and in my role as the principal attorney for the Law Offices of J. Mark Moore.
Most of the "consumer" cases I litigate involve claims of consumer fraud, unfair competition, false advertising, or breach of contract. I've also handled class actions and individual cases on behalf of workers seeking unpaid or underpaid wages, or alleging wrongful termination or retaliation. I sometimes assist low-wage workers from immigrant communities or other legally under-served communities who have difficulty finding experiencced attorneys willing to help them with their smaller wage or employment claims. Everybody with valid claims needs a good lawyer, even if they can't afford one.
I don't shrink from battle. I've successfully litigated against huge companies with huge "BigLaw" law firms. Judges in state and federal courts in California have appointed me class counsel many times, sometimes leading to multi-million dollar settlements. Among the big companies I've faced off with are Microsoft, Countrywide Bank, Coldwell Banker, Washington Mutual, Bear Stearns, Toyota, CVS and Toys R Us. I've also represented whistleblowers in "qui tam" cases (sometimes called "False Claims Act" cases) involving fraud on the government.
I obtained my undergraduate degree in Business Economics, with honors, from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1992, and my J.D. in 1995 from the UCLA School of Law. I'm licensed to practice in California and I practice throughout the state. .
When I'm not practicing law, I'm usually spending time with my family and my dog, sometimes in exotic places around the world.

Born To Be A Lawyer
I worked for a Fortune 500’s top 10 company for years. Because of my proficiency , I was pushed to work long hours, without any regard to labor laws.

Great Attorney
I was referred to a law firm that Mark was at. He was assigned to my case, which I honestly didn't know if I could do anything about it. After we met, he went out on his own and continued to work with me. I was a whistleblower and Mark felt we had a case. He was very kind and assured me we could d...

An Excellent Lawyer
I was a class action client (lead plaintiff) of Mark’s a few years ago. He’s dedicated, hard working, loves to take on major corporations (a major plus in this type of work), and is truly knowledgeable about consumer class actions. I’d recommend him to anyone needing a class action lawyer.
