A Proven Track Record of Success
Mr. Moore is an experienced and aggressive complex litigator, having litigated class actions and other high stakes cases in state and federal courts for more than twenty five years. He is the sole member of the Law Offices of J. Mark Moore and is also Of Counsel to Gallo LLP.
After obtaining his J.D. in 1995 from the UCLA School of Law, Mr. Moore spent his early career as an associate, and then a partner, at a national law firm where he defended major corporations in class actions alleging unfair and unlawful business and insurance practices, wage and hour claims and securities claims in California and other states.
In 2006, Mr. Moore began representing consumers, borrowers and workers in class actions. He has been a partner in a number of boutique class action firms and, in addition to his solo practice, is presently Of Counsel to Gallo LLP.
He sometimes represents hourly clients in business litigation matters on behalf of plaintiffs or defendants.
Class action cases in which Mr. Moore served as lead or co-lead counsel for since 2006 have resulted in cash recoveries in excess of $100 million, not including other forms of relief.
Mr. Moore is experienced in all aspects of litigation including appeals. He has litigated matters on behalf of individuals and companies, including significant business litigation disputes, and has pursued False Claims Act (“qui tam”) cases on behalf of whistleblowers with knowledge of fraud on the government. One such case, which he filed on behalf of a California online charter school teacher, led to a seven-figure settlement, a substantial whistleblower award and other relief benefiting the schools' students and the State.
Mr. Moore obtained his B.A. in Business Economics, with honors, from UC Santa Barbara in 1992, and his J.D. in 1995 from the UCLA School of Law. He is licensed in California and admitted to practice before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and all of California's federal district courts.
When not practicing law, Mr. Moore enjoys spending time with his family and traveling to exotic places.

Have you been scammed or misled by a so-called "tax relief" company? Did you pay large fees based on promises of tax debt reductions?
I'm investigating the practice of some of these companies and having free consultations with customers who think they were wronged and believe they should get a refund.
