Mr. Moore is an experienced and aggressive complex litigator, having litigated class actions and other high stakes cases in state and federal courts for more than twenty five years. He is the sole member of the Law Offices of J. Mark Moore and is also Of Counsel to Gallo LLP. After obtaining his J.D. in 1995 from the UCLA School of Law, Mr. Moore spent his early career as an associate, and then a partner, at a national law firm where he defended major corporations in class actions alleging unfair and unlawful business and insurance practices, wage and hour claims and securities claims in California and other states.

Mr. Movagar co-founded M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers with the goal of championing and defending the interests of individuals who have been physically injured or killed as a result of the negligence of another party. M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers elected to practice within this area of the law because personal injury victims are often the most vulnerable people who need legal representation the most. These victims have just undergone a serious injury and are not in a position to bring a personal injury claim and/or pursue a lawsuit. Also, because most people are unfamiliar with their rights in connection with a personal injury claim, the other side may take advantage of them by either denying their claim or offering to pay them much less than their claim is worth. This is where M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers steps into the case to ensure all of their clients’ rights are protected and that all clients get just and full compensation. Mr. Movagar presently represents wrongful death heirs and Plaintiff’s throughout the state of California that have been injured in every conceivable type of accident involving the negligence of another party. These include, but are not limited to, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, boating accidents, trucking accidents, premises liability cases, and animal attacks. Mr. Movagar works tirelessly to ensure each and every client gets just compensation and all necessary medical treatment so that they are made whole from the losses they sustained as result of the accident. Mr. Movagar has proudly recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients and has been recognized by numerous publications, such as National Trial Lawyers, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Super Lawyers magazine and the Los Angeles Magazine, for the results he has obtained on behalf of his clients. On five separate years, Mr. Movagar has been selected as a “Rising Star” on the Southern California Super Lawyers list – an award given to less than 2.5% of practicing attorneys. In 2016, Mr. Movagar was recognized as a Super Lawyer by the California Super Lawyers Magazine. Mr. Movagar has also been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Magazine as a top 100 trial lawyer in the country, and is also a proud member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum (which is a distinction for attorneys who have recovered $2 million or more on a single case). Prior to co-founding M&Y Personal Injury Lawyers, Mr. Movagar worked at an elite law firm in west Los Angeles. While there, Mr. Movagar represented Hilton Hotels Worldwide, Inc. (the world’s largest hotel company), Apartment Investment and Management Company (one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of apartment communities), Anschutz Entertainment Group (one of the leading sports and entertainment presenters in the world and the owner of the Staples Center), and Union Carbide Corporation (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company). Mr. Movagar received his Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School in downtown Los Angeles in 2004 and graduated Cum Laude with Order of the Coif Honors. While at Loyola Law School, Mr. Movagar was an Editor on the Entertainment Law Review and volunteered at the Disability Rights Legal Center, an organization that champions the civil rights of people with disabilities through advocacy, education and litigation. While in law school, Mr. Movagar also served as an extern at the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. In 2004, Mr. Movagar received the Commercial Law Student of the Year Award from the Los Angeles County Bar Association.

At The Law Offices of Scott A. Miller, APC, our lawyers believe that when you work hard for your employer, then you should receive a day's pay, including your base wage and overtime. In other words, a day's work for a day's pay! It's that simple. You probably have heard the same words at some time in your life. Now, you have come to the right website if you are not receiving what you are owed. We can only promise that if we take your case and you don't give up, you will receive aggressive legal counsel who cares and who understands what is going on. DO I HAVE A CASE? If any of the following questions apply to your working situation, then you may have a strong case for seeking financial recovery Are you told to work off-the-clock? Are you aware that you may not be receiving proper overtime pay if your employer does not use an electric time clock? Do you receive commission pay, and work over eight hours per day or over 40 hours per week? Do you receive a combination of hourly wages and a commission, but also work overtime? Do you have automatic deductions taken from your paycheck that you did not give written consent to? Did you have to purchase specific shoes or other safety equipment? If you work for commission and work overtime, do you get overtime pay for the commission, just as you would on an hourly wage? Does your employer provide you with a completely DUTY FREE REST BREAK during your work shift? Do you have to buy your own tools? Do you have to use your own vehicle for your job without being compensated for mileage? Do you work a four day, 10 hour a day workweek? Do you have to purchase your own uniform?

Does your paycheck stub indicate your regular hours worked, your hourly wage, the overtime wage, the number of overtime hours, commission, bonus and all deductions? Do you have to use your own cellphone for work without receiving reimbursement? Does your meal break begin by the 5th hour? If you work 10 or more hours, do you receive a second meal break? If you have an employer that employs over 50 employees that have the same issues as you, would you be interested in helping all of the employees through a class action lawsuit? Are you concerned about other possible labor code violations that you want to discuss?

Tom Bulger has been a member of the firm (then known as Silvern Law Offices, PC) 1996 when he moved to Colorado here from Philadelphia, where he had worked for a large personal injury law firm. He is a graduate of Canisius College (honors in History, and International Affairs) and Rutgers University School of Law (1993). He has worked as a clerk for a United States District Court Judge and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in its criminal and Organized Crime Divisions. He has been successful as sole trial counsel and also before appellate courts. His record in jury trial includes verdicts for our clients of $640,000.00 (motorcycle accident), $160,000.00 (auto accident); and over $500,000 (slip and fall on ice in the mountains). Recently his appellate advocacy on appeal preserved a $470,000.00 judgment that he had won in Adams County in a slip and fall case. He has also obtained millions of dollars in quiet, confidential settlement for our clients, and has received a rating of 4.4 of 5 from the Martindale-Hubble peer review process (Distinguished) and 4.8 of 5 (Preeminent) based on client surveys. Tom has handled cases all over Colorado, from trials in the Denver Metro area (Denver, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Boulder, Lakewood, Littleton, Thorton and Broomfield) to the mountains. He is currently the managing member of the firm. In addition to his background in personal injury law, he has developed a strong employee benefit practice which focuses on long term disability, short term disability, medical (and other insurance benefits), and ERISA cases (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974).

I started my career representing injured workers and accident victims. I love performing extraordinary legal work for extraordinary working people and helping folks of all walks of life. When I started Strong law Offices in 1999, I wanted a firm that prides itself in being "working lawyers for working people". I have dedicated myself to creating a legal team that is dedicated, hard working, and driven to succeed in life, work and happiness. I have tried, argued and arbitrated claims and cases from the smallest of towns to the largest of cities. I have received recoveries for employees from all professions, trades, and jobs. I have dealt with injuries ranging from catastrophic, complex, and complete to minor, major and massive. I have worked and dealt with health care providers, experts, defense attorneys, large companies, insurance carriers and all other obstacles or roadblocks placed by opposing parties or carriers to interfere, infringe or infuriate the rights of injured workers or accident victims. I have lobbied for new laws and defended good laws from the efforts of insurance carriers and large business interests to defeat the rights of the poor, the tired and the weak. My life and my law practice are dedicated to the service of helping injured workers and accident victims and will utilize any legal means necessary to protect and preserve those victims' rights to get help and get better from their injury.
