CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:     AVVO LEGAL REFERRAL

 

Virginia A. Moore is the principal in the Law Offices of Virginia A. Moore where she offers legal assistance in the areas of oil and gas law, commercial real estate, farm and ranch law and general business matters.

 

Virginia began her legal career with Conoco, Inc. in Houston where she practiced oil and gas law, with a separate emphasis in environmental law.  In the 1980’s, she moved with her husband to Dallas and joined the downtown Dallas law firm of Geary, Stahl & Spencer, P.C., where she practiced commercial real estate and general business law.  Within a few years, Virginia formed her own law firm which grew to include six lawyers and related staff. 

 

Virginia later served as in-house legal counsel to one of her large clients active in commercial real estate development in several states.  Virginia took a sabbatical from the active practice of law in the late 1990’s to develop real estate with her husband, Chris Howell.  After Chris took early retirement from Citigroup in 2004, the couple traveled the United States in a Monaco Bus as full-time RV’ers.

 

In late 2005, Virginia and her husband decided to settle back down near their newly married daughter who had purchased a home in northern Flower Mound.  She and her husband now make their home in the Southern Denton County of Copper Canyon.

 

Virginia graduated from the University of Houston with an undergraduate degree in Education.  After spending five years teaching, she returned to earn a law degree from the same school, graduating cum laude, a semester early in December 1978.

 

Virginia is Board Certified in Oil, Gas and Mineral Law by the State Bar of Texas.  She is rated  AV® Preeminent™ (5.0 out of 5.0), by Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™.  She is a member of the State Bar of Texas and has been a speaker and presenter at bar association and law school events.  Among other memberships, she is a member of the College of the State Bar, an honorary society of lawyers who are among the best trained attorneys in Texas.
