He then spent 10 years with the Birmingham Police Department, South Precinct in Birmingham, AL. During that time, he served his country in the U.S. Army and the Alabama National Guard. To further his career upon leaving law enforcement, he opened his own business, Legal Investigators. In September of 2002, he joined Hare, Wynn, Newell and Newton law firm as their in-house legal investigator where he remained for the past 19 years. Steve and his wife Sandy enjoyed traveling throughout their 38 years of marriage from Hawaii to London, New York to Maine and all the islands of the Caribbean. He enjoyed adventures with close friends of 38 years, Lee and Eileen Cook, from sailing around the British Virgin Islands to playing golf in the panhandle of the Gulf of Mexico. Steve immensely enjoyed his work with colleagues from his Hare, Wynn family. Debbie Byrd holds a special place in Steve’s heart for over 30 years of friendship and professional collaboration throughout their careers. Steve often referred to himself as an investigator, problem solver, and counselor to those that needed him. He himself often learned from his own experiences with his work. He was very honored to have participated in automobile rollover investigations resulting in improvements in: child car seat safety, automobile manufacturing, and many other aspects of personal injury law. Steve considered himself especially fortunate to engage in this worthy endeavor with his cousin, James R. Pratt, Attorney at Law, and others at the Hare, Wynn law firm. Steve Moon will always be remembered by those who knew him for his kind heart, mentorship and humor. He had a tremendous heart of generosity toward loved ones and strangers alike, in a quiet, unassuming way.
