1. Gratitude: Stephen Jon Moss cares and serves as a model for all lawyers seeking to do pro bono phone consultations. He promptly replied to my time-sensitive appeal issue—listening and providing invaluable advice July 7, 2022 free of charge, ending around 6:20 PM after normal business hours—nothing short of a miracle! I will forever value his advice, knowing that high-profile school districts and other clients pay top dollar for his expertise. He even offered me a follow-up call, if needed—illustrating character beyond reproach. 2. Process: Within about 2 hours after completing the Lawyer Referral Service (“LRS”) succinct online form, Mr. Moss’ profile appeared in my Inbox. I thought I needed a lawyer to represent me, immediately, but realized as we exceeded the 30-minute window that what I needed was sound pro se legal advice to comply with the court timeline. I noted my visit to the June 29, 2022 Austin Bar Association Lockhart Veterans Legal Clinic. Seeing attorneys eager to help with few veterans present made me vow to bridge the disconnect. Too many veterans need help to thwart homelessness or other legal issues despite attorneys like Mr. Moss willing to help through LRS or in-person. 3. Anecdote: At the outset, Mr. Moss reminded me of my value as a veteran. His ROTC experience connected us, too. “I’m a quick learner,” I said. “Just point me in the right direction.” Mr. Moss listened intently and answered all of my questions then strategized, helping me create a “To-Do List” to plan what, when, and how to file along with next steps. The following day I headed to Texas State Law Library then filed an answer and timely submitted my appeal, accordingly. 4.Hope: Now, I see the glass as half-full and plan to share the value of LRS and Mr. Moss’ legal expertise. Responsive, respectful, resilient: He was a perfect match. I highly recommend Mr. Moss’ service. It was, indeed, a blessing!

Some say that it’s impossible to prove a negative. Stephen Moss was able to do just this when I was unfairly terminated over a 7-year old’s misrepresentation of a short conversation we had in public in a school cafeteria. While an employee can be terminated in Texas without cause, Mr. Moss was logically able to explain to the Texas Education Agency’s investigator how the allegations against me were not only illogical but impossible. As a Foster and Adoptive Parent of two now grown kids I was appalled at what I had been accused of and summarily dismissed without being given a formal chance to defend myself. And I knew I needed help. Mr. Moss listened to what I had to say, researched the law in question and with a single letter to the State Agency’s investigator explained that not only was any part of the law violated, the school district’s investigation was woefully inadequate and the conclusions reached preposterous. Mr. Moss’s written correspondence was so compelling that the State investigator closed the investigation without even a formal hearing, potentially saving me thousands of dollars in unnecessary legal fees. Thank you Mr. Moss for protecting my reputation!

SO impressed with Mr. Moss. I was referred to him by the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas. Just amazing service from Mr. Moss. He completely understood my issue and had the best, most pragmatic, reasonable approach to resolving my issue. He took so much weight off of my shoulders in about 15 minutes regarding my real estate issue. Cant say enough how much I appreciate his advice. 10/10 definitely recommend Mr. Moss just amazing service!

I hired Stephen to represent me on a business deal that I was mislead on by the other party. Did well for me and was pleased with results.

Unfortunately, I hired Stephen Moss to help me with an issue. Nothing but problems with this guy. All he cares about is trying to bill and scam for money. Moss only compounds your problems because of his excessive and dishonest billing practices. Be very careful. Keep looking, there are better and more honest attorneys out there.

I hired Stephen Moss to help me with a legal matter. By far, the worst experience I have ever had with a lawyer. I had similar billing issues someone else alluded to on here in another bad rating for Mr. Moss. Like that person stated, Mr. Moss created more stress and problems for me than the original issue I hired him for. Moss overcharged for phone calls as well as to read and analyze documents. There were other things Moss overbilled for that were even worse. And, just like the other person said, I ended up paying way too much for very little in return. It was so bad I had to terminate Moss as my attorney after less than 6 months. Yet, even after acknowledging that he was terminated and I had hired a new attorney, Mr. Moss continued to attempt to bill me for “winding down” work for thousands of more dollars over several more months. If you are considering hiring Stephen Moss, I highly encourage you to do your diligent research. Check the Travis county court records at various levels of courts to see if he has attempted to sue some of his former clients over what he claims are “unpaid bills”. My experience with him has been so bad that I had no choice but to file a grievance against him with the state bar.

Stephen is a true professional and expert in his field. He taught me how to be prepared and confident in presenting my work to those agencies who believe you guilty before proven innocent. Stephen's expertise makes him a key man to have in your corner. I would never walk into an important meeting without him at my side. I cannot be grateful enough for the work he has done for me. He's concise, supportive, a true expert, and has fantastic mediation skills. I was so worried until I had Stephen guide me on how to be best prepared. I can't recommend him enough!

I used to work at the same law firm with Stephen Moss years ago. Since then, I have joint ventured with him on some cases in federal court. He graduated top of his law class, was a former United States judge, and is extremely knowledgeable in many areas of the law. He will pull provisions out of the law that other lawyers probably have no clue even existed. Client’s have said he is worth every penny.

Called him twice left message twice did no even bother to call back . Ironically waiting on his call looked him up on Facebook to see if I could contact thru that source and interesting to find spends his time posting legal issues now a days but can not answer the phone to a potential client ? Probably on his way to retirement. That’s the problem with experienced attorneys , sadly they lose the passion to fight and us as civilians take the hit . Glad he didn’t answer otherwise might have spent my money for nothing .

I recently hired Stephen Moss to represent me with a legal issue I was having. He charged me $450.00/hour. I never received so little for spending so much money. I had to let him go because he was upsetting me more than the legal issue I was dealing with. I felt like he was interested in nothing more than getting money from me. He charged me for 1/10 of an hour for any email or telephone call regardless if it was 30 seconds or 6 minutes. Most of the time I was charged $90.00 for any telephone call or email and none of them ever took any where near 6 minutes or more. I was even charged for him doing a time sheet to bill me for his services. I have never had an Attorney bill me for their time sheet. I had written a letter to be submitted on my behalf and he charged me $500.00 to read it and submit it on my behalf. He received a letter back and he charged me $180.00 to read it and send it to me. I would not recommend him to anybody.

I had a very bad experience with Stephen J. Moss. He has no assistant and therefore bills all paperwork handling at his usual rate of $400 per hour. He bills a half hour per email exchange. The work product wasn't worth it.

I have worked with many counsels over the past six months, but Stephen Jon Moss is a truly passionate attorney who worked hard in finding a justice for the business and entity personnel. This Counsel has my very highest recommendation and a 10 on 10 point scale super lawyer! Thanks to the State Bar who has referred me to this Honorable Counsel.
