Serious Trouble!

I came to know James Moschella quite well over the past few years. Mostly due to my propensity for being a man-child who didn't know any better and found himself in quite a bit of trouble on multiple occasions. I was facing 2 felony counts and 1 misdemeanor. Even though I was a first time offende...r the District Attorney would not offer me a plea. Jim always stuck by my defense and not once did he encourage me to take the plea. Even if losing meant doing some time. Jim was always up front that the likely hood of a full acquittal is very rare and made sure I knew the maximum sentence. We went to trial and as hard as the DA tried to add charges and introduce different case law Jim was on point and always ready to rebut the prosecution. Jim is a fierce litigator and was well prepped with case law for everything that came our way. Jim knows the law, is familiar with case law, and knows your rights. I knew I was in trouble and needed the best. So I hired him. Jim is professional and solid. When your only option is to go the distance and have a criminal trial James Moschella is the man you want representing you. Thanks Jim for getting that monkey off my back.

Excellent work ethic

When my brother was falsely accused of forgery for gain, Mr. Moschella took on his case. Mr. Moschella met with my brother nights and weekends to learn every aspect of his job. Because of his attention to detail he was able to get my brother acquitted of all charges. Our family owes Mr. Moschella ...a debt of gratitude for all he has done.

THANK YOU

Jim Moschella is hands down the best attorney. I have dealt with several lawyers in the past and 98% cared less about the case and more about the fee. From the moment I walked into his office he thoroughly examined my case. His honesty and professionalism is beyond compare. He always took time to pat...iently explain all aspects of the case. He was also readily available whenever I had a concern or needed a questioned answered. He is not only very knowledgeable, but has a genuine interest for his clients which provided personal comfort during very stressful, emotional and difficult times. I took my case to trial & was very impressed with how Mr. Moschella handled the case; he took the time to explain everything to me from start to finish!!! Even though I was acquitted of all charges my preference of a lawyer would have not changed if the out come would have been different. Jim Moschella is by far the best lawyer I could ever have represented me. I highly recommend him and his law firm. GREATEST LAWYER I'VE COME INTO CONTACT WITH EVER!!!!!! HE IS PROFESSIONAL & EXCELLENT AT WHAT HE DOES!!!!!! THANK YOU JIM……
