Helping Vermonters Since 1980.

Neil S. Moss

Neil Moss is the firm's senior member and managing partner. Neil grew up in Yonkers, New York, where he was Captain of his high school track team and football team, which he quarterbacked. He graduated from Middlebury College in 1964, and New York University Law School in 1967. Neil returned to Vermont after law school to practice in Bennington. From 1970-75, he was the Bennington County State's Attorney, appointed by Governor Dean Davis and then elected to two subsequent terms. During this period, Neil started (with others) 204 Depot Street, a very successful group home for local delinquent boys which continues as an alternative to juvenile criminal facilities or adult prisons. In 1980, Neil joined forces with Pat Barr and Rolf Sternberg and founded this law firm, now the largest in Southern Vermont. Neil's experience and training contribute to his skill as the managing partner of the firm.

His law practice is focused on personal injury matters. While Neil represents all types of accident victims, he has developed a particular interest in cases involving negligent treatment of patients by nursing homes. Neil is active in sports, including golf and cross-country skiing. He also practices yoga regularly and has a black belt in karate, activities with obvious parallels to his work as a litigator. He lives in Bennington with his wife, Joan Goodrich, who is vice president of Bennington College, and Lucy Goodrich-Moss, a friendly Rhodesian Ridgeback who serves as the law firm mascot and Top Dog.
