We Worked Inside the Cobb County Court System.
Gerald Moore did not just study the Cobb County court system. He worked inside it. As a former Cobb County magistrate judge, he presided over bond hearings, preliminary hearings, and warrant applications in the very courts where your case will be heard. As a former Cobb County assistant district attorney, he prosecuted criminal cases in Cobb County State Court. Now, as the senior defense attorney at Moore Law Center, he uses that insider knowledge to defend clients facing every type of criminal charge across Cobb County.
Our office is located at 191 Roswell St NE, Suite 100, Marietta, GA 30060. Steps from the Cobb County courthouse complex. We are not commuting in from Atlanta. We are here.

Why Local Experience Matters in Cobb County
Many criminal defense firms advertise that they "serve" Cobb County. They drive in from Atlanta for court dates and drive back. Gerald Moore did not drive in. He worked inside the system.
He sat on the Cobb County Magistrate Court bench. He prosecuted cases in Cobb County State Court. He knows the judges. He knows the prosecutors. He knows how plea negotiations work in this specific courthouse. That is not a marketing claim. It is a verifiable career history.
