Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced on Tuesday that Kenneth Moore, 53, of Glendale, Queens, posed as an attorney specializing in getting wrongful convictions overturned and allegedly preyed on inmates serving lengthy prison sentences in New York and across the country, and their families. Moore is accused of taking up to $15,000 to file post-conviction motions on the inmates’ behalf  – but instead filed no such motions on 16 cases and filed fraudulent briefs on two others.

“This case is especially reprehensible to me because in Brooklyn we have a robust Conviction Review Unit that takes wrongful conviction claims seriously,” District Attorney Gonzalez said in a statement. “This defendant allegedly took advantage of that exemplary work by targeting vulnerable victims and exploiting the hope of inmates and their families that they might be released from custody.”

Moore was arraigned on Tuesday at Brooklyn Supreme Court and indicted on 75 counts including third- and fourth-degree grand larceny, third-degree attempted grand larceny, first-degree scheme to defraud, unauthorized practice of a profession, among others.

Moore maintained an office a company he created, Waymore Post-Conviction, LLC., at 10 Goodwin Place in Bushwick, Brooklyn from 2011 to 2016. According to the indictment, between April 1, 2012 and August 31, 2016, engaged in a fraudulent scheme in which he acted as a licensed attorney specializing in post-conviction review with the capability of filing court documents, requesting new trials, obtaining sentence reductions and offering legal assistance to incarcerated individuals.

Moore allegedly targeted inmates serving lengthy prison sentences including those serving up to life in prison for murder, manslaughter and other serious crimes in New York, North Carolina, Kansas, Virginia and other states. He would then send them certified letters offering to file post-conviction motions on their behalf and once an inmate would respond, he would tell them to have a family member contact him to sign a contract and set up a payment plan. He allegedly took between $5,000 and $15,000 from each inmate’s family.

Moore would stay in contact with the inmates and their families while payments were being made to him, but after receiving the agreed upon payment or a substantial amount, and when family members asked about the lack of progress in the case, he stopped returning their calls. In many instances he even went as far as changing his phone number.

“He has now been exposed as an alleged con man and I urge anyone else who believes they have been victimized by him to contact my office,” said District Attorney Gonzalez.

District Attorney Gonzalez is asking anyone who believes they were victimized by Moore to call his office at 718-250-2600.

Moore was held on $300,000 bail and faces a judge again May 16th.
