Flowood, MS
Mike was attorney general of the State of Mississippi from 1988 to 2004 and now practices law in the areas of dispute resolution and governmental relations with his own firm, Mike Moore Law Firm, LLC, in Flowood, Mississippi. Prior to opening his own firm, Mike practiced with Phelps Dunbar in Jackson. He received national attention in 1994 when he filed the first lawsuit against 13 tobacco companies, making Mississippi the first state to insist that cigarette manufacturers reimburse the state for costs incurred while treating smoking-related illnesses. The suit resulted in a $4.1 billion settlement for Mississippi. Mike also led the national tobacco litigation effort, which resulted in a $246 billion recovery for all the states.
