Meet Bonita Moore
Bonnie Moore is a Los Angeles trial lawyer and co-founder of Moore Ruddell LLP with more than two decades of experience litigating complex business, employment, and intellectual property disputes. A veteran of premier national firms including Latham & Watkins, Bird Marella, and Faegre Baker Daniels, where she was a partner, Bonnie built her reputation taking high-stakes cases through trial, arbitration, and appeal before launching her own practice to bring that big-firm-caliber advocacy to individuals and businesses across California.
Her results speak for themselves. Bonnie is one of the few attorneys in California to have taken a wage and hour class action through trial to judgment, securing a $7.8 million award that was affirmed on appeal. She won a defamation jury trial with a judgment exceeding $1.5 million, including a jury finding of malice supporting punitive damages, and has prevailed in matters ranging from trademark litigation for the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" brand to a multi-week jury trial involving pop superstar Britney Spears. In employment matters, Bonnie now represents employees exclusively in discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour claims. Her years defending employers give her a strategic edge in anticipating the other side's playbook.
A graduate of UCLA School of Law and former law clerk to the Honorable David O. Carter of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Bonnie has been named to Best Lawyers in America for Commercial Litigation and recognized as a Southern California Super Lawyer for ten consecutive years. Clients know her for tireless preparation, straight talk about risks and strategy, and a genuine commitment to keeping their goals at the center of every decision.
