Spooner Staggs Trial Lawyers: Leading the Charge on Moody Claims


At Spooner Staggs Trial Lawyers, our team is at the forefront of litigating claims arising from the Oregon Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Moody v. Oregon Community Credit Union, commonly known as Moody claims. Drawing on decades of experience representing insurance companies under the mentorship of Ralph Spooner, we are now leveraging that knowledge to fight for policyholders in both trial and appellate courts.

Recently, firm lawyers Ralph Spooner and Dave Smith were honored to present to the Deschutes County legal community at the J.R. Campbell American Inn of Court. Their presentation, The Anatomy of a Moody Case, provided valuable insights into the complexities of these claims and our firm’s experience advocating for policyholders against insurance companies. This session followed a similar presentation last Fall given in Portland at a CLE event sponsored by the Oregon Trial Lawyers Association, where Ralph SpoonerTyler Staggs, and Dave Smith shared key lessons learned from their experience litigating Moody claims.

As leaders in the field of insurance bad faith litigation, our attorneys are available to provide educational presentations on Moody claims and related legal topics. If your organization is interested in gaining deeper insights into this evolving area of law, we would be happy to share our expertise.
