bio
Michael H. Moody Law, P.A. (“MMLPA”) was formed by Michael H. Moody. Before starting MHMLPA, Michael worked for seven years as a cross-border collections and litigation attorney with the international law firm of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., and, before that, for four years as a bankruptcy and reorganization attorney with the excellent law firm of Berger Singerman LLP.
Michael made the decision to form MHMLPA because he believed that with the newest law firm technologies it was possible to provide the best big law quality legal work to clients at a fraction of the fixed overhead expenses of the big law firms. MHMLPA may be new, bit it is neither small nor typical. MHMLPA enjoys several advantages over other law firms.
The Michael H. Moody Law Advantage
Michael H. Moody Law is a Tallahassee, Florida firm built around direct attorney access and BigLaw-caliber representation without the BigLaw overhead. Every client works directly with Michael H. Moody — a former Greenberg Traurig and Berger Singerman attorney — on every matter, supported by case manager and legal assistant Monica Shannon.
The firm handles bankruptcy (Chapter 7, Chapter 13, Chapter 11, and Subchapter V), asset protection, estate planning, and commercial litigation for individuals, families, and businesses across Florida, with Chapter 11 engagements in Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.
