Robert Moody was born in Montgomery, Alabama, and lived there for the first ten years of his life. To thisday, he remains a rabid Auburn fan. When he was in grade school, Robert and his family moved toProtection, Kansas, a little town full of friendly people.
Robert’s first job in the legal field was working as a runner. After graduating from Wichita State University’slegal assistant program, Robert began working as a legal assistant in a small and bustling general litigationfirm in Wichita, Kansas. Seven years later, Robert applied for a position in the clerk’s office of the UnitedStates District Court for the District of Kansas. He thrived in this competitive environment, and was selectedfor the job from a large pool of candidates. After three years in the clerk’s office, Robert accepted a positionas the courtroom deputy for the Honorable Monti Belot, United States District Court Judge.
Robert’s experiences in these positions stimulated his keen intellect and inspired him to attend law school.After observing lawyers and legal proceedings from these distinctly different angles, Robert realized that hecould handle the pressures and challenges of practicing law. More importantly, he realized he wanted tobecome a lawyer. Taking on more responsibility, and having a greater impact on the outcome of contestedmatters, appealed to Robert. He wanted to be a direct advocate for his clients, and he wanted to help themachieve favorable resolutions to their legal problems.
Robert’s practice focuses on general civil & commercial litigation, insurance defense, DUI defense, as well asdivorce and family law. He is a member of many professional and civic organizations, including UrbanProfessionals of Wichita, Community Operations Recovery Empowerment, the Kansas Association of DefenseCounsel, and the Defense Research Institute.
