For more than three decades, Bradley G. Pyles has dedicated his legal career to helping individuals and families resolve complex short-term and long-term disability claims, disability retirement claims, life insurance disputes, long-term care claims, and probate and estate matters. As a partner with Westmoreland, Patterson, Moseley & Hinson, LLP, he represents clients throughout Georgia with a commitment to practical advice, responsive communication, and experienced legal representation.

A Macon native, Bradley joined the firm in 1993 after earning his law degree from Georgia State University College of Law. Over the course of his career, he has handled a wide variety of civil litigation matters, but for more than two decades his primary focus has been representing individuals in employee benefits and insurance-related claims.

He represents clients in short-term and long-term disability under both individual disability insurance policies and group disability plans, disability retirement claims, life insurance disputes, and other employee benefit matters.  Many of these claims are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and he has developed substantial experience representing individuals in ERISA claims, administrative appeals, and litigation.

Bradley understands that disability and other employee benefit claims often arise during some of life’s most challenging moments. Whether a client has been denied disability or life insurance benefits, is pursuing disability retirement, or needs guidance with another complex employee benefits claim, he believes clients deserve an attorney who will take the time to understand their circumstances and advocate effectively on their behalf.

In addition to his employee benefits practice, Bradley represents clients in probate and estate matters, including wills, powers of attorney, advance directives, conservatorships, guardianships, and estate administration. He enjoys helping families prepare for the future while providing trusted guidance during times of transition and loss.

Throughout his career, Bradley has lectured on employee benefits law, wills, trusts, estates, and related legal topics. He is an active member of the Employee Benefits Section of the State Bar of Georgia and has earned Martindale-Hubbell’s AV Preeminent® Peer Review Rating, recognizing the highest levels of professional excellence and ethical standards. He has also been recognized among America’s Most Honored Professionals.

Bradley earned his Juris Doctor, cum laude, from Georgia State University College of Law after receiving his Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Georgia. He is admitted to practice before the State Bar of Georgia, the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court of Georgia, the U.S. District Courts for the Northern and Middle Districts of Georgia, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.

Outside the office, Bradley enjoys spending time with his wife, Natalie, and their three adult children. He has remained active in numerous community organizations, has served in leadership positions throughout Middle Georgia, and coached local youth sports for many years, reflecting the same commitment to service that defines his legal practice.
