About Darren T. Moore

Education and Accomplishments

Born and raised in Ireland, Darren’s dream from the earliest age was to become a lawyer. After graduating from high school and law school in Ireland, Darren came to the US to sit for the New York Bar Exam at the age of 22, one of the youngest examinees to ever sit and pass the exam. After successfully passing the exam, Darren made the decision to relocate permanently to New York.

Upon arrival in New York, Darren began his legal career working with a litigation firm based on the 77th floor of the iconic Empire State Building. It was there that Darren honed his legal writing skills and also obtained invaluable experience throughout the Courts of the State of New York. It was also there that Darren began dealing with personal injury cases for the first time and realized that he had found his passion in “representing those who can’t represent or fight for themselves.”

After a number of years’ in midtown Manhattan, Darren obtained a job with one of the top New York personal injury firm’s and spent seven years at that firm. There, he focused his practice on construction accidents’, motor vehicle accidents’, slip and falls’, trip and fall accidents’ and premises liability accidents’. Darren worked under and alongside some of New York’s best attorney’s and gained invaluable experience. During his tenure, Darren spent nearly every day in the Courts of New York, arguing motions, attending conferences and trying case’s before juries when necessary as well as utilizing his negotiation skills both inside and outside of the courtroom to settle personal injury cases’.

“One of my first injury cases was an undocumented Irish construction worker who suffered a serious leg injury on a job site. Just been able to help him navigate and get through the legal process and ultimately get him the compensation that he deserved, compensation I must add that helped compensate him for his injuries on and compensate him for the rest of his life was one of the most satisfying things I had ever done and genuinely, from there, I knew this was my calling. Lawyers sometimes get a bad reputation for making things worse but in personal injury cases, we get to in some way help people in their darkest hour and in their time of need.”

In 2016, Mr. Moore was chosen by his peers as a ‘Rising Star’ of the New York Super Lawyers and has been chosen every year since. Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor.

In January 2019, Darren then founded The Law Offices of Darren T. Moore P.C. As he states himself,

“At the prior firms I worked alongside and I worked under some of the very best attorneys in the field and got invaluable experience. I settled hundreds and hundreds of cases and where needed, I tried cases to verdict before judge and jury. Trying cases is something I thoroughly enjoy doing and it’s also important that Defendants and the insurance companies know that you are happy to put your case before a jury if they won’t accept responsibility and compensate your client. With all of that experience, I knew it was time for me to set up my own firm and provide my clients going forward with the outstanding service that they deserve in the pursuit of justice for them and their families.”

In addition to the above, Mr. Moore has also being awarded the “Clients Choice Award” from Avvo, an online marketplace for legal services, being selected as one of 10 Best Personal Injury Attorney’s along with being selected as one of New York’s Top 10 Attorneys from Attorney and Practice Magazine.

Aside from his legal passion, Darren is heavily involved within the Irish Community here in New York and in particular, with the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) based in Gaelic Park in the Bronx. An avid sports fan, Mr. Moore played soccer in the Irish Eircom U-21 league prior to his relocation to New York and upon arrival Mr. Moore represented the New York Gaelic Football team in the 2012 All Ireland Senior Football Championship. He also won a New York Senior County Football medal in 2013 for the Kerry GAA Club here in New York. In 2021, the Law Offices of Darren T. Moore P.C., sponsored jerseys for Darrens’ native Irish county, Co. Westmeath when they won the New York Intermediate Football Championship and the firm continues to provide support to the club and the community at large.

As part of his affiliation with numerous Irish organizations here in New York, Darren lead and coordinated an initiative in 2012-2013 to provide free legal assistance to families affected by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Mr. Moore is also involved in his local community and is a regular reader at his local church.
