ABOUT BABCOCK & MOORE, PLC

Babcock & Moore, PLC was founded by Tina Babcock and Sally Moore in early 2020 after practicing with and leading an established medium-sized law firm in Virginia Beach where they served as counsel for several national insurance companies, handled personal injury claims, and learned the value of client relationships. With combined 35 years of litigation experience, Tina and Sally focus on making a difference for every client they serve, whether guiding an individual who is overwhelmed and unfamiliar with the legal process or serving business and insurance clients. The attorneys of Babcock & Moore are experienced litigators dedicated to providing clients with the highest level of professional excellence, efficient litigation, and practical claim resolution.

In 2021, they were joined by Ann K. Sullivan and Melissa Picco, who previously practiced as Sullivan Law Group in Norfolk. Ann Sullivan founded her original firm in 2013 after more than 25 years with a large Hampton Roads firm where she established, grew, and chaired an Employment Law Practice Group. Ann and Melissa have more than 40 years of combined experience representing both employer and employees in matters related to the employment relationship and personnel issues, as well as advising clients on corporate matters including government contracting.

Today, Babcock & Moore, PLC, is dedicated to “Making A Difference” for our clients  in civil litigation, employment law, business law, insurance defense, personal injury, contract disputes, personal management, wills, estate planning, and more.

What Clients Are Saying

I would recommend Babcock & Moore, especially James English, to represent anyone in need of services.
I chose Babcock & Moore to represent me. B&M assigned my case to James R. English, Esq. Mr. English, and on occasion, Laurel Tootle, also with the firm, were extremely kind and understanding, keeping me well-informed as the case progressed. As it turned out, the case was settled out of court for substantially less than the amount being sought by the plaintiffs. Because of their kindness, expertise and genuine concern for my personal well-being, I would recommend Babcock & Moore, especially James English, to represent anyone in need of services. Thank you Babcock & Moore, Mr. English, and staff. You are the greatest!

Ann definitely knows what she is doing! The outcome of my case was an amazing one and I'm very pleased with the settlement.
If you're looking for a great outcome with your case please look into Babcock & Moore! My attorney Ann and her assistant Kelsey were amazing! It wasn't just me reaching out to an attorney and once the process started I didn't hear from them. They constantly followed up with me and no matter how many times I spoke with them they weren't annoyed, bothered or short with me. They were comforting and inviting and that alone reassured me that I made the right decision to choose them. Ann definitely knows what she is doing! The outcome of my case was an amazing one and I'm very pleased with the settlement. HONESTLY, I don't have any regrets with this firm and if ever in a situation again I will use Ann.

No wonder Ann Sullivan was recognized as one of the best lawyers in America for Employment Law. She's the best!
Ann Sullivan and her paralegal, Kelsey Valdo were amazing to work with on an employment issue I had. When you believe something that happened to you was unfair, you want someone that's on your side. Well, then call Ann Sullivan. Not only did Ann make me feel completely comfortable and at ease with every question I had, (and I had a lot of them,) she walked me through every step along the way. She and Kelsey were extremely responsive with emails or phone calls, and resolved my situation in a very short amount of time with a very favorable outcome. No wonder Ann Sullivan was recognized as one of the best lawyers in America for Employment Law. She's the best!

I had a professional friend help me find Babcock & Moore. And to find out it was a women-owned business was the cherry on top!
I needed help with a Warrant in Debt I know I didn’t owe. After frantically searching for advocate services and a looming court date a few weeks away, I knew it was time to find an attorney. Not knowing where to start, I had a professional friend help me find Babcock & Moore. And to find out it was a women-owned business was the cherry on top!

I can't begin to express what a wonderful and rewarding experience I had with Ann Sullivan's law firm.
I can't begin to express what a wonderful and rewarding experience I had with Ann Sullivan's law firm. I had been to three different lawyers for my case and all of them were scared to take it because the company we went up against was very powerful. Ann was the only one not scared, and instead of turning me away she gave me great advice which in turn not only got me a settlement but gave me closure.
