Tom Moore

First and foremost, Tom Moore is a trial lawyer. He has more than 30 years of experience in litigation before state and federal juries, judges and arbitration panels around the country.

His record includes trial victories for such entities as The New York Times and Marubeni Corporation, as well as on behalf of individuals and smaller business entities. He also has represented Boards, companies and individuals in numerous federal and state investigations, including before the SEC, state Attorneys General, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and several U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, with great success.

Tom is trusted not only by his clients, but by his peers. As a former Director of Doar, Inc., one of the nation’s preeminent litigation support firms, he is often retained to provide jury selection and trial strategy advice to other trial attorneys. The state Appellate Court also has appointed him a Referee in serious attorney disciplinary matters, as well as naming him, for over a decade, to its Character and Fitness Committee.

Tom earned his BA with Highest Honors from the University of California, Davis, and his law degree and a master’s in public policy from the University of California, Berkeley. After clerking in federal district court, he joined the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, to forward his goal of becoming an accomplished trial attorney. After only a few years there, he was the first person in his Bureau ever to be promoted by Robert Morgenthau to be Senior Counsel.

Tom next joined the prestigious Proskauer law firm, where he was a lead attorney on a highly varied array of complex commercial cases and internal investigations. Proskauer elevated him to partner after only six years. After a rewarding twenty years with that firm, Tom decided to fulfill a long-held goal of opening his own practice, which allows him greater flexibility in the cases he chooses to take and the billing arrangements he can offer in appropriate cases.

In his more than 30 years of litigation experience, Tom has handled an astonishingly broad array of cases. He has consulted on many more, including in his former role as Head of Underwriting for one of the country’s largest litigation finance companies.

In part because Tom is a decade-long member of the Court’s Character and Fitness Committee, and a Court-appointed Referee in Attorney Disciplinary Hearings, he is often retained in matters of alleged attorney malfeasance, including malpractice, criminal violations and other misconduct by attorneys. Tom also has been a lecturer in numerous attorney Continuing Legal Education courses.

Tom will fight assiduously for your rights. He has the experience and toughness your matter requires, and will deliver efficient and responsive service as he works to achieve the best results possible for you.
