referrals anywhere. It has received accolades from presidents of the

New York Personal Injury Attorney
Kramer, Dillof, Livingston & Moore

New York, NY 10007
Phone: (212) 267-4177
Practice Areas of Thomas A. Moore:
Automotive Accidents
Gross Negligence
Medical Malpractice
Personal Injury
Railroad Accidents
Security Fraud
http://www.innercircle.org/attorneys/attorney_profile.php?member=60
?In Moore?s 14 years as KDLM?s senior partner, large awards have
gained him a reputation as the most successful trial attorney in the
U.S., as well as the National Law Journal?s Lawyer of the Year honor,
not just once, but twice. To date, Tom has had more than 76 verdicts
in excess of $1 million, and has settled hundreds of cases for
multiple millions of dollars each.?
?Moore?s success offsets, but does not mitigate, the obvious sadness
of the cases he tries. The large awards are personally satisfying for
what they bring to plaintiffs ? the justice they deserve. The fact
that he is able to win nine times out of 10 is more than significant.
Defendants typically win four out of five cases.?
?He lectures frequently for various lawyers? groups and other
professional organizations all across the country. Along with his
wife and partner, Judy Livingston, he is also a member of the Inner
Circle of Advocates (an elite group of the top 100 trial attorneys in
the country), a fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers,
a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and a member of the
International Society of Barristers. He has been cited by New York
magazine as one of the best lawyers in New York.?

?Judy Livingston has long been one of the most successful plaintiff?s
attorneys in the U.S. Reserved, methodical and precise, Livingston
defies the image of the traditional successful trial attorney.
Along with a near-perfect record of more than 100 settlements,
Livingston earned a place as the youngest and first female attorney to
gain entry to the most exclusive bar association in the U.S.: the
Inner Circle of Advocates. Limited to the top 100 plaintiff?s trial
lawyers in the country, the Inner Circle has long been regarded as the
penultimate "old boy?s network" of lawyers who consistently win huge
awards for their plaintiff clients.?
?She was also cited by New York magazine as one of the best lawyers in
New York and named in March 1998 as one of "The 50 most influential
women lawyers in America."

Trial Lawyers Association; she is a member of the International
