Excellent Attorney, very knowledgeable

Alex helped me gain physical custody of my 16 year old son from his mother. My court file was a mess from years of Temporary Motions and other Lawyers mistakes. Alex Organized my file and helped me understand what my current legal rights pertaining to my son were. It was not a traditional case since ...I was never married, so Alex was able to break it down in stages for me and counseled me on all my options and laid out a course of action to pursue. After 1 month we were organized and he helped me attain temporary physical and legal custody, and 3 months later I was granted full custody. (Alex had recommended applying for temporary custody first and then full custody). After the case was finished, Alex still maintained contact with DOR on my behalf to help me reclaim child support I had paid, and also set up for child support that is now owed to me. I will still be in need of Alex's services as my son will be college age soon and we will have to go to court to ask for a child support extension. I will be using Alex again for this process and has already counseled me on what to expect and what will happen. I would not hesitate to hire Attorney Moskovsky and have referred him to a few family members and friends.

Did a great job and got all charges dismissed

My uncle, who is also an attorney, recommended I contact Alex when I got arrested. After meeting with me and listening to my concerns, Alex got the DA's office to dismiss all charges before I was arraigned. Because Alex was able to do that I don't have anything on my CORI record and don't have to wor...ry about employers seeing I was arrested. Alex was honest and kept me informed at all times. I cannot thank Alex enough for representing me and I wouldn't hesitate to call or recommend him to others. A great attorney!!!

Stupendous Lawyer

Alex helped me win custody of my young child. He was most accommodating through the entire process; often going out of his way to make sure my daily life with my child was not disrupted. He was extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to explain any and all questions I had on the matter. He listen...ed to me and gave sound advice on how to proceed with the case. I am extremely pleased with my experience, as well as the outcome of the case. He is clearly in Law to help people, and his enthusiasm and dedication to his craft will be easily noticed by anyone who hires Alex. I recommend Alex with utmost confidence; he will be my Lawyer going forward if I ever need legal services again.

Excellent Attorney. Very knowledgeable and realistic

Attorney Moskovsky did an excellent job representing me in my divorce case with my ex-wife. He came prepared to every court appearance and client meeting we had and returned my calls promptly. His knowledge of the law and ability to counter my ex-wife's attorney's arguments were impressive to watch i...n court. My wife's attorney threw the book at me in our divorce and my wife alleged things that were untrue. Attorney Moskovsky countered every contentious issue in my favor. I approached 3 attorney's until I retained Attorney Moskovsky because i felt the others were stringing me along just to pay them. It didn't seem they cared about my case when we first met. I highly recommend retaining Attorney Moskovsky because he was reasonably priced, and the only attorney I approached that gave me a candid assessment of my case with realistic expectations which came out to be true. Very satisfied I had Attorney Moskovsky working on my case and I wouldn't hesitate to call him again.
