About Gilbert James Moore
Gilbert James Moore III earned a business degree from the University of Texas at Tyler in 1989 and a J.D. from Florida Coastal School of Law in 1999. He moved from business into law over the course of a decade, combining management roles in information services and mortgage operations with formal legal training. The sequence of degrees and early roles gives a practical underpinning to his later legal work.
Early in his career Moore managed default support operations for Temple-Inland Mortgage Corporation beginning in 1990. He then took on contract management duties at Alltel Information Services in 1995, rising to an assistant vice president title. Those positions exposed him to the operational side of lending and vendor relationships, experience he would later draw on as an attorney.
After law school Moore served as a judicial clerk to the Honorable Robert M. Parker, Circuit Judge, at the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in 2001. The clerkship offered him a close view of appellate procedure and legal reasoning at a high level. He moved back into the corporate legal world as Division Counsel for Fidelity Information Services in 2003, handling corporate legal matters in a large technology and financial-services environment. In 2005 he joined Driver, McAfee, Peek & Hawthorne, P.L. as a partner, transitioning into private practice and firm leadership.
Moore’s career path bridges transactional and litigation settings. His roles have involved contract negotiation and management, corporate counsel responsibilities, and oversight of default and mortgage support operations. The appellate clerkship adds courtroom and writing experience in complex federal matters. Taken together, those steps create a profile of a lawyer familiar with both the internal workings of financial-service providers and the procedural demands of appellate work.
He currently practices as a lawyer, applying his background in contract management, corporate legal work, and mortgage-related operations to client matters. His current practice addresses corporate and contract matters as well as litigation tied to financial services and mortgage operations.
