David Moscow

I hired David Moscow to help my daughter with a false accusation and complicated PFA charge. David worked tirelessly to uncover the truth. He presented a case, that resulted in the court overturning the PFA. David is intelligent, knowledgeable, personable and nonjudgmental. From the moment I talke...d with him, I knew I found the right attorney to help me with an emotional and complicated case. He listens, takes action and guides you through the legal process with expertise and passion. I highly recommend David Moscow to get you through a difficult situation.

Awesome lawyer

David went above and beyond in helping my fiancé with his case. He consistently kept me informed and helped me understand the process. He made sure I was aware of every possible scenario and in the end fully delivered. Every question I asked never went unanswered. The outcome was what I was hoping f...or. He definitely works magic!!

A lawyer that fights for you

This is a review of Attorney David Moscow. I had an issue where I did not understand the law and I was facing criminal charges. A detective for Chester County actually visited our home to get a statement from us. It's very important to understand that anything you say can and will be used ...against you. Luckily we were still asleep when the detective visited us. When I reached out to the officer  he was very confrontational and extremely vague about any potential charges. After some research of attorneys  we decided to hire  David Moscow to represent us. Right away he was proactive, sympathic, and he had a no bs professionalism that he was there to fight for you. I felt that I had someone on my side.  He was very thorough and responsive. Very quickly I felt at ease and his retainer fee was definitely worth every penny.  Two weeks passed and the conclusion of my case is that all charges were dropped and the case will not be persued. David worked with the detective and myself to show that this was a misunderstanding and would not stand in court. I 1000% recommend David Moscow. He will fight for you.
