Who is Gregory Moore though? 19 News dug into Moore’s track record as an attorney and his criminal history.

The Divorce Attorney

Moore, 51, was issued is license to practice law in 2003, according to the Supreme Court of Ohio’s records.

Moore went to law school at Cleveland State University.

Moore practiced law at the Stafford Law Company in Cleveland. Records are not clear on when Moore started and ended practicing law at the company, but he at least worked for them from 2011 to 2014.

Moore’s license to practice law was suspended in 2017 as he was facing felony charges.

Moore resigned his legal license in 2018 pending discipline for his crimes.

The Criminal History

According to court records, Moore has a criminal history dating back to 1998.

The offenses started with traffic offenses in the 90s and early 2000s, according to Cleveland Municipal Court records.

The charges escalated in 2013, when Moore was first charged with three counts of inducing panic.

Those charges are connected to the bomb threats Moore would call into court to avoid court appearances, according to the indictment.

The indictment also said Moore’s company, Stafford Law Company, were aware of the bomb threats as of May 24, 2013.

In the years after 2013, more charges would come against Moore, including:

At least six counts of inducing panic
Three counts of terroristic threats
Telecommunications fraud
Obstructing official business
Falsification
Two counts of forgery
Possessing criminal tools

Moore eventually pleaded down to charges of two counts of felony inducing panic and one count of falsification in May of 2017.

The falsification count comes from lying to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his whereabouts during the murder of Aliza Sherman.

Moore served six months in jail for the charges.
