Christopher is a dedicated criminal defense attorney. He only accepts criminal defense cases. His primary office is located at 266 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

Christopher Koschier, Esq began attending Dickinson Law in 2013 on a full academic scholarship. During his first year of law school he received accolades for his mock trial performances, scoring highest amongst his Carlisle peers at finals.

He immediately began dedicating his education, work experience, internships, and practical clinical experience to becoming the best possible criminal defense trial attorney.

During his second year and through his final year of law school he was granted permission by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to represent poor criminal defendants in court pursuant to PA Bar Rule 322. During this time, he was provided a job at the Cumberland County Public Defender's Office, and was promoted to the senior law clerk on staff after only five months.

Christopher was able to win the trust of many indigent defendants who opted for his representation at court hearings and trials by achieving numerous victories at criminal trials, preliminary hearings, and pretrial hearings. Chris leveraged his experience winning real trials to win 1st place at a prestigious mock trial competition and was awarded the International Academy of Trial Lawyers award.

Additionally, Christopher was the primary author of the legal argument for a successful appeal to the PA Supreme Court, which abolished ex post facto application of sex offender registration requirements for Pennsylvania registered sex offenders.

Upon graduation in May of 2016, he sat for the Pennsylvania and New Jersey bar exams during the same week, passed both, and was admitted to both jurisdictions. He then served briefly as an Attorney for the York County Public Defender's Office and Franklin County Public Defender's office, once again representing poor/indigent criminal defendants with notable success, before launching his own criminal defense firm in Montgomery County, PA, outside Philadelphia.

During his time practicing law, Christopher has handled hundreds of criminal cases, achieved prolific victories in court, and has a small practice where he is able to devote all of his energy to his criminal defense cases. His achievements on behalf of his clients has earned him recognition as a top "10 Best Attorney in Pennsylvania" as published by the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys.

Unique, Hard-working
Mr. Koschier is one of a kind. He is seriously intelligent, and very passionate about his work. It really shows with the extensive efforts he makes in a case. He does not sugar coat the truth, and is fierce in defense tactics and absolutely thorough. Mr. Koschier is always prompt to respond to questions and offers clear, helpful advice. I would not hire anyone else. He is unbelievable in his skills and the work he puts forth. He is also very easy to talk to, as he does not exert any arrogance as some attorneys tend to do. He actually files motions and challenges the other side with carefully detailed facts. I very highly recommend hiring this attorney if your case matters to you.

PROFOUNDLY RECKLESS AND INCOMPETENT. You've been warned.
This self-proclaimed criminal lawyer is in fact a lawyer CRIMINAL, and will soon be held to account for the wanton crimes and violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct that he's committed against his own client(s). Write to me and I will provide you all the evidence and transcripts you need to confidently avoid this fraud like the cancer that he is. This man is so astonishingly incompetent, lazy and derelict that he will literally single-handedly get you convicted of any imaginary or false criminal accusation. When it comes time to account for his incompetence in court, this man will openly lie and commit perjury in order to fabricate bizarre, blatantly false and slanderous evidence and allegations against his own client just to make the client look stupid or guilty, solely designed to deflect blame and accountability from himself for his own monumental dumbfounding and bewildering errors and omissions comprising his "INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL." If you're going to use this man anyway, you need to fully research this quoted term, because you're going to need to be fully versed in it. It is highly unlikely that this man has actually gained a law degree by virtue of his profound lack of skill and common sense. Instead of preparing for your case, Koschier will remain at his apartment, by himself glued to his gaming console. I speak from experience. This man is a complete fraud, despite his enigmatic overconfidence in the skills and capabilities which he simply does not possess. If you have NO OTHER CHOICE but to hire this man, then I highly recommend as a fellow American citizen, that you just go to court alone and try your case pro se, because that's going to be your only chance of a positive, just outcome short of hiring a professional. Not only will Christopher W. Koschier destroy your life, but when the opportunity arrives for him to be able to correct his own mistakes and get you out of prison, he will not only abandon you but will overtly sabotage your efforts at getting a false conviction vacated. Be warned my friends, Christopher Koschier is NOT a professional, ethical or honorable man or attorney. He is a lonely self-proclaimed "gamer" with no friends or colleagues, plain and simple. An analogy that was proffered to me in retrospect by a real lawyer: If you were going to have brain surgery, would you really select a doctor fresh out of school with no meaningful experience, or whose first few cases ended badly? Chew on that as you ponder whether you really want to risk your entire life, reputation, career, family, fortune and future by allowing this man anywhere near you or your case. I wish you all the best with your case. Please, keep researching elsewhere. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I didn't do everything in my power to save another person (you) from being this dolt's next victim. Every word of this review is factual and represents my honest opinion based entirely on personal experience working with him prior to learning who he really is.
