If you need a lawyer for a complex business or real estate dispute in the Los Angeles area, you’ve come to the right place.

My name is Walter Whitman Moore. I have over 40 years of experience representing clients in business and real estate litigation. I am an experienced trial lawyer. I mention that because not every litigation attorney has tried a case.

Over the years, I have developed my own cutting-edge computer applications to litigate efficiently and keep my overhead low. As a result, my hourly rate is just $650. If you do not realize what a bargain that is, shop around for lawyers with comparable credentials and experience:

• Graduated with honors from Princeton and Georgetown Law
• Editor, The Georgetown Law Journal
• Former Legal Research and Writing Instructor, Georgetown Law
• Former Associate, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
• Over 40 years successfully handling litigation and arbitration matters
• Licensed to practice law in California and Texas
• California Real Estate Broker License
• Developed dozens of AI and database apps to maximize efficiency

You should not hire a lawyer just because his or her hourly rate is lower. Conversely, don't assume that a lawyer who charges more or works at a big firm is more likely to win your case. I have single-handedly beaten some of the biggest law firms in L.A. Although some cases require an army of lawyers, most cases come down to one or two lawyers at the counsel table, not 80 or 800 lawyers back in the office, working on other matters.

I suggest that you look for an experienced trial lawyer—not just a litigation attorney—with excellent credentials, a track record of success in cases like yours, and the ability to connect with people. Credentials matter because the law is complicated. Experience matters because you shouldn't have to pay for a lawyer to move up the learning curve. And personality matters because a trial lawyer has to persuade judges and juries, not just know the law.

Talk to several lawyers before deciding whom to hire. If a lawyer leaves you "cold," consider whether a judge or jury might feel the same way.
