Great Criminal Attorney

I am an attorney who does not handle criminal matters. When my son got into some trouble, I consulted with, and hired, Attorney Moraski to represent him. Paul worked with the prosecutor and was able to get my son into a juvenile diversion program. We never had to step into a court room and my son ...will not have a criminal record. Though I hope I never need his services again, I highly recommend him and have referred him to clients of mine who are in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Attorney Moraski was a Life Savor for my child!

During a very stressful time in our lives, I retained Atty. Paul Moraski to represent my child for a very complicated criminal case and it was the best choice I made! He is caring, thorough, reassuring, smart, tough and fights until the end. He will not take "no" for an answer and keeps fighting fo...r you until he gets the best outcome possible! I can't even begin to say how grateful I am for what he has done for my child. Even the Judge commented in the courtroom that Attorney Moraski had spent extenuating hours in the courthouse on the case and has more than done his job and stated that your client should be very grateful to Atty. Moraski for the outcome. The Judge also stated that my child's life would have been ruined if it wasn't for how hard Attorney Moraski fought for him. I thought it would be helpful for other parents to read another parent's perspective and know that when you choose Attorney Moraski you are getting the absolute best attorney! Due to Atty. Moraski's perserverance, determination and desire to help my child get the best outcome possible (when it seemed impossible), he has literally changed the course of my child's life! I will forever be grateful to Atty. Moraski. He is the best criminal attorney, and I hope others benefit from his expertise! I cannot say enough great things about Atty. Moraski. From... a very grateful parent!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
