A meticulous approach from beginning to end
John Moore graduated from the George Washington University Law School with honors in 2012. Since he joined Davis Rothwell, he obtained summary judgment of a retailer in a product liability action and dismissal of subcontractors in construction-related accidents. He enjoys aggressively defending against complaints when liability is questionable, and swiftly settling cases for a reasonable amount when liability is adverse.
Before joining the firm, John worked as a claims reviewer for the Garden City Group and as an inner-city teacher through the Teach for America program. During law school, John took externships with judges in King County Superior Court and the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.
John investigates the facts thoroughly at the beginning of a case to avoid surprises later on. Clients and carriers thank him most for providing them with a thorough analysis and complete understanding of the facts so they may make informed decisions.
Outside of work, John enjoys dining out with his wife, rooting for the Seattle Seahawks, and playing lawn sports such as bocce ball and ladder golf.
