Overview
Matthew D. Moyer is a senior associate at Clifford Law Offices, where he represents individuals and families in wrongful death, catastrophic personal injury, transportation, aviation and medical malpractice litigation. A former federal prosecutor, Mr. Moyer brings extensive courtroom experience and investigative insight to complex, high-stakes cases.
Before joining Clifford Law Offices, Mr. Moyer served as an Assistant United States Attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice in Chicago, prosecuting white-collar crime, organized crime, and drug trafficking cases.
