During the Coronavirus Pandemic, The Moore Law Group experienced a surge in women seeking legal advice and counsel after experiencing illness, death, job loss and divorce. There was a noticeable pattern amongst most women: they simply didn’t know whether they had their affairs in order and didn’t know where to begin. Attorney Moore quickly identified a meaningful solution to helping more women practice self-care and take charge of their lives during the pandemic. Attorney Moore created a series of E-Books and legal forms designed to help women get organized, focused and prepared for life’s unexpected events. Attorney Moore’s “Girl, Get Your Affairs In Order” series is designed to help women of and at every station access the tools needed to get their life’s business on track.
