Matthew
T. Moore became an associate of Alters Law Firm in 2009 after clerking
at the firm during his last two years of law school. He graduated
summa cum laude from Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard
Broad Law Center in May 2009. Among other achievements while at
Nova, he was editor-in-chief of Nova Law Review, the school’s
first evening student to attain that position, and was the recipient of
the Student Bar Association’s Award for Academic Excellence. Mr.
Moore concentrates on appellate and federal practice, as well as
litigation support for the firm’s various divisions.
Mr. Moore took a rather uncommon path to the practice of law.
After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from Trinity College
(Hartford, CT) in 1985, he produced television commercials in his
hometown of Boston for several years before moving to Los Angeles where
he spent 12 years as an executive in filmed and multi-media
entertainment production, marketing and distribution. While
working in the entertainment industry, he became particularly versed in
entertainment production and distribution contracts, international
sales, consumer marketing, and integrating emerging technologies into
traditional forms of distribution. Although he had never planned
a career in the law, after eye witnessing a vicious hate crime on a
friend he was deeply disturbed by that friend’s struggle to obtain
justice in the aftermath of the attack. The experience inspired
him to “take stock,” and the move to South Florida and enrollment in
law school soon followed. Mr. Moore hopes that his law degree and
work at the firm will help others who have been wronged obtain justice.
Mr. Moore’s article, Long-Term Plans for LGBT Floridians: Special Concerns and Suggestions to Avoid Legal and Family Interference, was published in the Fall 2009 edition of Nova Law Review. (34 Nova L. Rev. 255 (2009)).
