Moyers' practice is focused on counseling closely-held businesses and owners regarding succession planning and related tax and legal issues.  He also advises high net worth families on a range of fiduciary matters.  Beyond his law practice, Moyers has spent the past two years organizing and managing the startup of a nationally chartered trust company.  

"Mike brings enormous talent, energy, and experience to our trusts and estates practice.  His arrival allows us to build on and further enhance our services," said William Doyle, Jr., chair of the firm's trusts and estates practice group.

Moyers earned his J.D., with distinction, from Stanford University Law School, where he was associate editor of the Stanford Law Review and elected to Order of the Coif.  He received an A.B., with distinction and departmental honors, from Stanford University.
