Q & A with Angela
Moore:
Where are you from?
I’ve lived in Tucson my
whole life, except for when I was away at school.
Where did you go to
law school?
Arizona State University,
but then I got an LLM in tax, with a focus in estate
planning, from the
University of Washington
What is the history of
your practice of law?
I practice with my
mother, Royanna L. Moore, and my sister, Annalisa Moore
Masunas. My mother
started the practice as a sole practitioner after she got
out of law school in
1981. Annalisa was 10 and I was seven years old, so we
grew up around her law
practice. Annalisa joined our mother when she
graduated from law school
and then I joined them after I got my LLM. We
love being able to work
together!
What are your current
practice areas?
My mother and I handle
estate planning, including wills, trusts, probate,
guardianship,
conservatorship, and trust administration. Annalisa is a
family law specialist.
Anyone you would like
to acknowledge for contributing to your legal
career / pro bono
service?
A partial list of people
to acknowledge includes the following: Royanna L.
Moore, Annalisa Moore
Masunas, Jeff Jacobson, Paul Bartlett, Jeannette
Geiser, Kate McMillan,
Beth Smith, Mark Valentine, and Ilene McCauley.
I have named them for
various reasons and appreciate the advice and help
provided at different
times over the last six years.
