About Philip Colt
Philip Colt Moss attended the University of Iowa, where he completed his legal studies before entering practice. He went into the profession at a time when young lawyers were finding new paths into courtroom work and bar leadership. That education provided a foundation for trial work and courtroom procedure that has shaped the early years of his career.
Soon after law school he joined several professional organizations. In 2012 he became a member of the American Bar Association, the Iowa State Bar and its Young Lawyers Division, and the Blackstone Inn of Court. The following year he added membership in the National Trial Lawyers Association and joined the American Institute of Criminal Law Lawyers, an organization that recognized him among its Top 40 Under 40. Those affiliations reflect steady involvement in both trial advocacy groups and criminal law circles.
He is admitted to practice in Iowa and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. That combination places him in state and federal appellate and trial arenas. Over the years he has handled matters that required attention to procedural detail at both levels. His courtroom activity aligns with the professional groups he belongs to and with a practice that values trial readiness.
Colt Moss has balanced bar work and peer organizations alongside firm duties. Membership in the Iowa State Bar Association has been continuous since 2012. He has taken part in the state's legal community through the Young Lawyers Division and the Blackstone Inn of Court, a group that brings practitioners together to study ethics and advocacy. His recognition by the American Institute of Criminal Law Lawyers as a Top 40 Under 40 in 2013 is a noted milestone among his early-career honors.
He is listed at Wandro & Associates P.C., where he practices as part of a team that handles litigation. At the firm he contributes courtroom experience and the professional connections cultivated through national and state bar groups. He draws on those networks when preparing cases and when working with colleagues on complex procedural issues.
Colt Moss combines trial associations, appellate admission and a law school background from the University of Iowa to shape his approach to practice. He maintains active memberships in several legal organizations and continues to develop his courtroom practice. His current practice focuses on criminal defense and trial litigation.
