Mr. Moriarty is a very nice, professional lawyer. Everything was done in a timely manner and in my best interests. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case and I highly recommend this lawyer! It appears to me that the person who left a bad review for Mr. Moriarty was not focusing on Mr. Moriarty's legal expertise and qualifications. He is a great lawyer.
