I worked during law school for the firm of Baker & McKenzie researching issues related to International Trade, as well as the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation researching issues related to ERISA. I graduated from Emory University School of Law in 1990 and was admitted to practice law in Georgia that same year. I had the privilege of serving as Assistant Public Defender at the Fulton County Public Defender’s Office in Atlanta, Georgia, where I was a staff attorney defending indigent citizens accused of felony offenses. During my three years at the Public Defender’s Office, I was counsel for the defendant in countless trials and appeals. In 1993, I opened my own office and continued to defend criminal cases in the state and federal trial, appellate, and habeas courts in the Atlanta metropolitan area. I also represented plaintiffs in personal injury cases. In 1994, I attended the Trial Lawyer’s College in Dubois, Wyoming. In 2002, I moved to Missoula, Montana, and represented plaintiffs in civil actions, such as professional negligence, products liability, and civil rights violations. In 2005, I became a founding member of the law firm of Moriarity, Badaruddin & Booke, LLC.
