About Sylvion
Sylvion Moss trained first as a political scientist. He earned a B.A. in political science and international relations from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1990. He later returned to study law, completing a J.D. at George Mason University School of Law in 1998. Those academic stops framed a legal career that crosses state lines and courtrooms.
After law school, Moss built experience in both trial and appellate settings. Early years included courtroom work and preparing briefs, turning academic grounding into practical skills. Over time he expanded his practice to accept matters in multiple jurisdictions, a move that required learning varying procedural rules and the tactical adjustments they demand.
Moss is admitted to practice in Virginia and Alabama and is authorized to appear before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Those admissions shape the kinds of files he accepts and the strategies he pursues. He is known among peers for methodical preparation and an attention to procedural detail. Colleagues have noted that his courtroom presentations are measured and that his appellate briefs are careful about record citations and jurisdictional posture.
His career path includes work at firms that handled civil litigation across state lines. That background exposed him to different sets of state laws and client expectations. In firm settings Moss has been involved in discovery oversight, motion practice and appellate briefing. He also handled in-person advocacy when cases required it. Those roles gave him experience in managing teams of lawyers and working with expert witnesses when necessary.
Today Moss maintains an office at Galloway, Scott, Moss & Hancock, LLC. He handles trial-level matters in Virginia and Alabama and takes appeals to the Fourth Circuit when cases warrant further review. Clients working with him can expect an attorney who pays close attention to procedural posture and appellate timetables. He practices at Galloway, Scott, Moss & Hancock, LLC, representing clients in Virginia and Alabama and handling appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
