Arizona Department of Child Safety Over-the-Top Removals to Foster Care
The Arizona Legislature has, in effect, put the Department of Child Safety on probation, allowing it to continue to function for another four years instead of the customary eight The decision is a healthy recognition that DCS, both in its current form and when it was a division of the Department of Economic Security, often does enormous harm to the children it is meant to help.
But recognition is just step one. Lawmakers need to understand what created this mess and how to fix it. The root of the problem is a fanatical drive to tear apart families that has plagued the state for decades. . . .
Mr. Moore is professional and wicked intelligent. He not only knows the laws and the Justice System but he navigated us through the process effortlessly. He has a good morale personal foundation and he fought for us and found us Justice. He communicated clearly and ensured we understood our rights and the process. The outcome of our case was more then we had expected and we are eternally grateful.

Excellency
Michael was compassionate and honest when dealing with us and our case. He is driven and relentless in his pursuit for Justice. He kept us informed along the process and the outcome of the case was more then satisfactory, it was life changing. He communicated clearly and guided us through what could have been a harrowing experience. We felt listened to and respected through out the process. I would highly recommend Mr. Moore.

Outstanding gentleman!
With just a short description of my situation he had insightful direction and resource contacts to speed me on my way. After he overwhelmed me with help, he said he was swamped and could not take my case, but gave me the name and number of a trusted colleague. I took his advice and within 24 hours I have gotten significant results.

Outstanding, and knowledgeable attorney
Michael helped me with a discrimination and civil rights issue. He listened to every thing I had to say and then gave me some great advice. His free advice saved my position. Later, I hired him and he gave me more great advice. His knowledge and strategy was invaluable and allowed me to leave on my own favorable terms and timeline. I recommend Michael without reservation.

Specific and straight to the point
I appreciated the free advice that he gave me in moving forward with my case. He recommended another attorney as he is swamped right now which I really appreciated.

Outstanding
I am in need of a Civil Rights attorney and called many places. Mr. Moore took a lot of time on the phone asking detailed questions then let me know his opinion, free of charge. Other attorney’s charge in the ball park of $250.00 for a one hour consultation then tell you they can’t help you but Mr. Moore did not charge me. If it turns out this situation gets worse, he is the lawyer I will call for help.

Very helpful good attorney!
Attorney Michael Moore is a excellent attorney honest and trustworthy. He says what he means and he does what he says. Attorney Moore listened to me carefully and did not make me feel rushed during my free consultation with him . He went well beyond what I expected of him and I am grateful to him for his help. I would refer him to anyone looking for a good attorney. I wish I could clone him. He is an attorney with a heart.

Honorable Human & Very Special Man!!
Great!! Counsel and Friend…….Extremely supportive and knowledgeable……..My first meeting with Michael was just in talking and discussing community matters.

During this time, I have experienced, his compassion, knowledge, professionalism, and complete understanding of the legal profession via it’s legal theory, the law or the politics of the system. Michael is a wonderful human and it’s an honor to call him my attorney and friend! I absolutely Love him 🙂

Fantastic Consulting
I really appreciate Mike’s ability to delve straight into the heart of any matter. When I first contacted him, I was dealing with an ongoing workplace discrimination relating to my disability. It only took minutes for Mike to assess and fully comprehend my situation. He walked me through what I should be doing step by step, and ultimately saved my job.
He works fast, asks the right questions and has a very thorough understanding of his field in practice.
I would absolutely recommend Michael Moore.

An instant answer to a unique situation
I phoned Michael and when no one answered I hung up and right away received a return phone call asking if I needed him. I explained my unique situation of being a private contractor with a prominent organization. He took the time to listen to me and respond to my concerns. Thank you Michael for your legal consultation over the phone when I had nothing to give to you in return other than my verbal thanks. I knew right away to do what he suggested. I am confident that the information Michael gave me is exactly the action required to get the satisfaction I am looking for.

This was a federal litigation case Mike’s research into this was relentless and the outcome in our favor. I found Mr. Moore in his representation of me to be honest, trustworthy, responsive, informative, timely, thorough in his research, professional, caring and personable. In short our attorney/client relationship was very rewarding with an otherwise difficult situation.

A 5 Gold Star
I can’t not begin to express in words what a beautiful person you are. The help you provide people in need is not even described in words. You not only have helped myself but also my family. Your knowledge and professionalism is untouchable and hard for others to match. The rating that you have is top notch and I can clearly see why you are above anyone else. I think many can learn from you and I truly believe you are an excellent role model for others to follow. Thank you again Mr. Moore.

Experienced, Timely, and Trustworthy
I was very appreciative of Mr. Moore’s attention to detail when asking him to review an agreement for me that i had to sign. He was very responsive and timely in getting back to me and made some excellent changes that put my mind at ease. He’ll be my first call if I ever need an employment attorney again.
Posted by Denise March 19, 2015
Kind enough to respond
I’ve contacted several lawyers….only three responded. One, basically emailed with his fee scale. Mr. Moore advised me to contact EEOC, which I have done. At least he replied! Thank you Mr. Moore!

The perfect example of an attorney
I’ve worked with Mike over several years. He has always been a professional. He is thorough, knowledgeable and personable. He has a very strong mind and approaches cases with sniper like precision: not wandering in and shot gunning or fishing around till something falls his way. He is aggressive and makes things happen. I would recommend him without reservation (except to my adversary).

The brightest and hardest working lawyer that you will ever come in contact with
I initially came to know Michael Garth Moore when I worked with him in a secretarial/legal assistant/paralegal capacity. Mike and I worked together directly for 8+ years, and for numerous years beyond that at an independent contractor if he needed my help. I have seen Mike represent his clients with a passion I had not seen, and have not seen, since. He wants to get to know YOU, he cares about YOU, if you call he will talk to you, not in brief, not “on the clock” minute by minute. Mike practices by the book however is always thinking outside the box. Many years ago Mike represented a young boy who was severely injured in a 3 wheel ATV accident. Not only did Mike provide excellent representation to him and his family for the losses they suffered, but he served on the canvass committee to outlaw 3 wheel ATVs because the imbalanced design. He traveled to Washington D.C. to have his voice heard as an advocate, not just to “serve” on the committee in name. To date only 4 wheel ATV’s are in production and Mike and other committee members certainly were relevant in bringing about this change. I could site numerous other cases of similar circumstances, but wanted to provide one example. Mike did represent me in a serious skiing accident case as well, and offered the same professional representation he does with all his clients, but also took my case very personally and would take your case personally as well. I am fortunate to have not only worked with Mike but to have his continued friendship.

Trustworthy
During my initial consultation with Mike, he immediately struck me as a genuine, caring person. It was evident to me that he has an extensive understanding of the law and a wealth of experience. Coupled with his expertise and knowledge of complex organizational structures, I knew immediately that his skills would ultimately contribute to the positive outcome of my employment case. From the start, his judgment and insightful evaluation of the facts assured me that I would be in good hands.
Mike quickly developed a plan of action, he kept me informed every step of the way and was always willing to answer my questions in a timely manner. With an abundance of information to sort through, Mike worked tirelessly to review documents, interview witnesses and research my case, all while facilitating a relationship of “teamwork” where my contributions were valued and respected.
While navigating through what proved to be one of the most difficult experiences in my lifetime, I trusted Mike every step of way. I am forever grateful for the work he has done on my behalf. Mike is simply the best and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honorable, thorough and trustworthy attorney.

Federal Appeals Court/ Federal District Court
After two years of litigation we won in a major Federal Appeals Court decision which will set a precedence all over the country. Michael Garth Moore diiligently worked for justice and truly believed that our case had merit. Without a doubt his knowledge, persistance and willingness to work hand in hand with us proved to be the recipe for success.

Really listens…
Mr Moore with his years of experience not only has networking to attend to the details but also is able to see the big picture. He truly is interested in your results and not ” running the meter”. As a retired senior military officer the highest comlement we can give is to say “I would go to war with this guy” and I sure would.
