Keri Moody - Paralegal
Keri Moody has (affectionately) earned the nickname “bird dog” in her tenure as a paralegal. Both clients and attorneys appreciate her tireless work ethic, attention to detail, and the efficiency honed in the over 20 years she has spent working primarily in the areas of creditor’s rights and bankruptcy, secured transactions, and commercial litigation and collections.
Bankruptcy law has developed into a very unique, sophisticated, and technical area of expertise. Since 2006, Ms. Moody has been a Certified Bankruptcy Assistant through the Association of Bankruptcy Judicial Assistants. The CBA (Certified Bankruptcy Assistants Program) is the only bankruptcy certification program for non-lawyers in the United States. She also has lectured to both attorney and trade groups on bankruptcy topics.
She has significant experience in complex commercial litigation and collection matters, working closely with clients to obtain judgments and secure collection on such judgments, as well as exercise remedies in real property foreclosure and unlawful detainer proceedings. In addition, she has extensive experience assisting banking and financial institution clients in various contexts, including Article 9, loan transactions, and workouts.
Ms. Moody received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Communication and a minor in Business Administration. While at Northwest Nazarene University, she was nationally ranked in extemporaneous speaking and parliamentary debate, was a member of the forensics honorary Phi Kappa Delta, and was the National Champion in team debate. Currently, Ms. Moody volunteers as a coach and judge for both high school and college forensics.
