Neil Moss is the firm's senior member and managing partner. He grew up in Yonkers, New York, where he went to Roosevelt High School. 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. 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. Neil is active in sports, including golf, cross-country skiing and karate, in which he has a black belt. He also practices yoga and Tai Chi. 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.
