The Build

A Site as Credible as the Credentials

Moore Law Center is led by an attorney who has sat as a Cobb County magistrate judge, prosecuted as a Cobb County assistant district attorney, and now defends the accused. That rare three-sided perspective is the firm's biggest advantage, and the old website never told it. We rebuilt the site to lead with the credentials, the attorneys, and the counties they serve, then wired it for local search.

The Challenge

A Powerful Story, Generically Told

Gerald Moore's background is the kind of credential most criminal-defense firms can only wish for: a former Cobb County magistrate judge and former assistant district attorney who now defends clients, plus an AV Preeminent peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell. The reviews back it up, with clients describing dismissed cases, reduced charges, and flexible payment plans. The old website did not reflect any of it.

It leaned on stock courtroom photography, buried the firm's two attorneys, listed no individual bios, and offered no county-level pages for the Cobb County and metro Atlanta communities the firm actually serves. For a practice that wins on credibility and local knowledge, the site gave searchers and search engines almost nothing to grab onto.

  • Generic stock courtroom imagery, no real attorney photos
  • No individual attorney bio pages
  • Former judge and prosecutor credentials underplayed
  • AV Preeminent rating not surfaced
  • No county service-area pages for metro Atlanta
  • Thin practice-area structure for criminal defense
  • Real client results buried instead of led with
  • Little structured data for local and AI search
The Solution

A Credibility-First Foundation

We rebuilt Moore Law Center from the ground up around the one thing competitors cannot copy: the attorneys and their record. Every page reinforces credibility and points toward one action, a free and confidential consultation.

The Bench Advantage, Front and Center

The new home page leads with "Built on Both Sides of the Bench" and the three-perspectives story, judge, prosecutor, and defender, so the firm's rarest advantage is the first thing a visitor sees instead of stock photography.

Real Attorney Bio Pages

Dedicated pages for Gerald E. Moore, a former Cobb magistrate judge and assistant DA with an AV Preeminent rating, and Reid M. Kennedy, a Cobb County native and Spanish-proficient defense attorney, with verified, public credentials.

Full Practice-Area Hub

A complete services hub covering DUI and DWI defense, felony and misdemeanor charges, drug offenses, bond hearings, and probation revocations, each on its own page targeting how people actually search in a crisis.

County Service-Area Pages

Nine county landing pages, including Cobb, Cherokee, Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Douglas, Paulding, Fayette, and Bartow, so the firm shows up for the metro Atlanta communities it serves, not just its home zip code.

"Attorney Moore was a godsend. He took a very serious situation that I got myself into and completely had it dismissed. He is so approachable and very easy to work with. I get a second chance now because of this wonderful attorney."
