CONNIE MOORE is a 1986 graduate of the University of Houston Law Center. During her 25 years of practice, Connie has focused on securing legal rights for parents in same-sex relationships through adoption, surrogacy, and child custody litigation. Connie is a collaboratively-trained family law attorney and a founding partner in the law firm of Moore & Hunt. Connie is a member of the National Family Law Advisory Council of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and is a member of the Legal Advisory Council of the American Fertility Association. Connie's philosophy surrounding every contested case is that the parents should always put the children first. When a relationship transitions from committed to living apart, parents must learn how to co-parent. When the legal transition is over and the lawyers are out of the picture, Connie is proud of leaving her client as unscarred as possible and an even better parent.
