How Moses Kim Built a Career Advocating for Victims of Medical Malpractice

Moses Kim is the Founding Partner of The Moses Firm, one of Georgia’s leading medical malpractice law firms based in Atlanta. With more than twenty years of experience handling catastrophic medical malpractice and personal injury cases, he has earned a reputation as a fierce and relentless advocate who consistently delivers excellent results in the most challenging cases.

His path to representing injured victims was shaped by years spent defending the very institutions he now holds accountable. Families searching for an attorney who understands both sides of a malpractice case will find that experience embedded in how Moses Kim builds and argues every claim. That background is one of the clearest reasons injured Georgians trust him with their most serious cases.

Having been born in Argentina and raised in Alabama, he learned from his missionary parents the values of hard work and helping those in need. Those values have guided every stage of a legal career built around fighting for people harmed by medical negligence.

The Education Behind His Legal Career

Moses Kim built a strong academic foundation before stepping into any courtroom. Both institutions he attended pushed him into leadership roles that shaped how he later approached advocacy.

Emory University

Moses graduated from Emory University, where he majored in political science and served as the president of the Student Government Association. He was also inducted into the Emory College Hall of Fame.

University of North Carolina School of Law

He then graduated from the University of North Carolina School of Law in Chapel Hill, where he competed on the National Trial Team and served as the chief justice of the Moot Court team. He received various honors in law school, including being inducted into the Order of the Barristers and being recognized for his leadership and service to the law school.

How Defense Work Shaped His Approach to Plaintiff Cases

Moses Kim did not begin his career representing injured victims. That choice came later, and it was deliberate.

Starting on the Plaintiff Side in North Carolina

Moses spent the first part of his career at a top-tier plaintiffs’ medical malpractice law firm in North Carolina. That early experience gave him a clear picture of what injured clients need from their legal representation.

Nine Years on the Defense Side in Atlanta

He then spent the next nine years at a medical malpractice defense law firm in Atlanta as an associate and partner, learning how to evaluate, defend, and resolve major medical malpractice and personal injury cases. That inside knowledge of defense strategy became one of his strongest tools as a plaintiff attorney.

Why He Founded the Moses Firm

Using this valuable experience, he started The Moses Firm to represent injury victims with three core goals:

• Strive to deliver excellence in every aspect of his service to clients
• Use his expertise to elevate the quality of work being given to injured victims
• Capitalize on his experience to deliver better-than-average results

The firm is based in Atlanta and serves clients across Georgia, including Decatur, Marietta, Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Riverdale, and Austell.

The Cases He Handles

Throughout his career, Moses has handled a diverse range of complex injury claims, leveraging his extensive courtroom experience and strategic expertise to deliver meaningful results for clients. His practice covers some of the most serious and life-altering injuries a person can experience.

The Moses Firm has also secured a $13.5 million settlement for a medication error case and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars across verdicts and settlements.

His Role as a National Speaker and Teacher
