“I am humbled and honored to have received this award from the Transportation Lawyers Association,” said Moseley. “I’ve been a part of the organization for over 10 years and was pleasantly surprised by the recognition.”
Moseley is the head of the Smith Moore Leatherwood’s Transportation Industry Group representing trucking companies and their insurance carriers, with disputes involving commercial transportation accidents, federal and state safety regulations, commercial insurance coverage disputes, freight claims and other disputes involving trucking companies.
“We are extremely proud of Rob and his exemplary representation of Smith Moore Leatherwood in the transportation industry,” said Tod Hyche, partner in charge of the firm’s Greenville office, where Moseley is based. “He has acted as a leader in the industry for years, and this Distinguished Service Award is well deserved.”
