Prior to working in local government, Moeller was a Criminal Defense Attorney with the Wisconsin State Public Defender for 7 years, representing a variety of indigent clients, in criminal and civil cases. Ultimately Moeller specialized in youth representation at the Vel Phillips Juvenile Justice Center and was a member of the State training team, assisting new lawyers with their development of trial skills.

Moeller continues her interest in advocacy, even though not actively engaged in litigating cases currently, and serves on the Board of the Wisconsin State Bar’s Civil Rights and Liberties Section. Moeller remains admitted to active practice with the Wisconsin State Bar, as well as the Western District of Wisconsin’s Federal Bar.
