Start reading any appellate brief prepared by Todd Mosser and you instantly know you're dealing with one of the finest appellate attorneys in the region. It's great to be intelligent. Knowing the law is always a plus. But, when one can succinctly and eloquently put pen to paper and make a persuasive argument combining the facts of the case and recent precedent, you've got something special. And, Mr. Mosser is a master in the field of appellate law. I strongly endorse him.

Todd is an incredible appellate and criminal defense attorney. He has successfully appealed cases that many attorneys would have shied away from taking. If you made a mistake with your first lawyer you may pay the price for the rest of your life as far as years behind bars, reporting under Megan's law or never getting a decent job. But the fight isn't over when you hire Todd, who has the ability to find the diamond in the rough issue that could get you a new trial or have the case thrown out altogether. I highly recommend Todd Mosser

Todd is an excellent attorney and a zealous advocate for those wrongfully convicted of crimes in Pennsylvania. His knowledge of the law and ability to explain complex legal issues by writing in plain language are precisely why he is my "go to" attorney for appellate work; his briefs are second to none. I recommend Todd without reservation.

Todd is a master of finding successful issues to appeal. His research capabilities are second to none, his oral advocacy skills are top notch, and he is the best writer I know. If you are unsatisfied with the result you got in the lower court, you would be best served to get in touch with Todd to discuss your appellate remedies. He is the go-to guy in all matters of appeals, PCRA's and federal habeas cases.
