Attorney Larry Moran concentrates his practice assisting the victims of serious, catastrophic and fatal injuries. As a plaintiff's lawyer he has won millions of dollars in trial verdicts and settlements for countless seriously injured victims and their families across the region.
He also handles the defense of serious criminal matters on a selective basis.

The Board also requires the lawyer to submit references from peers and judges, and to pass a written examination that tests his or her knowledge of civil or criminal trial law - or, in Mr. Moran's case, both.
