This guy is CLASS ACT!

If you ever in your life need a criminal defense attorney, David Moyse is the man! I mean this with righteous conviction ! I went to trial with felony charges in Montgomery County Md.. I was facing every bit of at least 5 years not including prior enhancements and Mr. Moyse was in my corner defendi...ng me like he was defending his own family. None the less with compassion like that, we won! When I say “WE” I mean, being in the hot seat fighting for my life not only did I Genuinely feel that he gave it all he had but more importantly I felt like we were truly a team. This guy had worked the court room like nobody I’ve ever seen. Going against one of the most relentless prosecutors in Montgomery county, Mr Moyse kept it up all the way to the finish line. His off the cuff technique pushing his way through witnesses’s and the prosecution, he found the weak spot and executed. When it was all finished their case was Swiss Cheese. He loves his job and and the best part about him is, he’s an honest man. Thank you so much Mr. Moyse! RM

Thankful We Found David

One smiling officer came to the door wanting answers about my college-aged son. He insisted that we make things easy, just set up an appointment to speak with him over at the station. Since my son was innocent, it didn’t occur to us to hire an attorney. Our naive assumption that criminal defense lawy...ers were only for the guilty or for the very wealthy, our faith that a candid talk with any law enforcement agent who “seems cool” can clear one’s name, only led to my son’s arrest. He planned on setting things straight in court on his own, but after being mistaken for someone else, a possible felon, during Pre-Trial Services, it alarmed him to see how swiftly minor events could spiral out of control. My son was desperate when he texted, “Call David Moyse and tell him I want him to represent me. I want to get him on the case ASAP - this is insane!” Within a few minutes, David had my son scheduled for a free consultation. While speaking to this compassionate, gifted, highly motivated attorney for the first time, my nightmare subsided. David agreed that there was no level playing field for the typical person facing questioning and possible charges. Those who are well acquainted with the workings of the criminal justice system have all the advantages. The rest of us are too often hapless outsiders whose names can end up on the docket. David kept his word when he promised me (numerous times) that he had everything covered and he would make sure it would all work out fine. Though the case was dismissed, I had no doubt that David would have fought on for as long as it might take to exonerate my son because he believed that was the right thing to do. Do not hesitate to call David Moyse if you need the best possible advocate. He is confident, reassuring, readily accessible and bright. And he has an innate desire to alleviate troubles, to help others get the second chances in life they should always be grateful for.

Amazing Criminal Defense Lawyer- Genuine and Affordable!

When I was arrested for the first time in my life and charged with multiple theft related felonies it was vital that I find a great criminal defense attorney. Since I had lost my job because of the arrest, it was also important that I find someone affordable. After meeting with 6 other lawyers (inclu...ding some of the biggest names in Maryland) I chose to hire David. The lawyers I met with before him had noted the seriousness of my case, only adding to my ever-growing worry. I was not sure how to take it when David appeared so easy going, and assured me with confidence that everything was going to be ok. However, he was the only lawyer who truly made me feel better in the face of what I thought would ruin my life AND believed my "side of the story." Other lawyers had tried to up their prices because of the seriousness of the charges even after hearing I had lost my job. Not only did David give me the most reasonable price, he provided what I saw as better services right from the start. He answered all of my questions, kept me up to date on what was going on, and made me feel at ease and confident about the case and about my uncertain future. Every charge against me was dropped and thanks to David's encouragement I am planning to enroll in Grad school. No other lawyer I have met or encountered in court over the past 6 months was as genuine, reasonable, and helpful as Mr. Moyse. He definitely saved me in my current situation and put me on track to a better future!

Individualized attention and punctuality!

Mr. Moyse handled my brother's case most recently and was able to obtain a dismissal for him. I helped my brother through the process because I too am a law school graduate. Mr. Moyse encompasses the characteristics of the ideal lawyer in which we learn about in law school i.e. to represent the clien...t zealously, the be honest and punctual. This was a traffic/criminal case due to a long overdue warrant that was pending. He found a loophole and attacked the case using the loophole. He addressed both my brother and I with the upmost respect and we felt that he gave us the exceptional attention during a time in which things could have been rough for our family. There was another case pending in VA which hinged on this MD case that Mr. Moyse handled. He took care of the initial stages in an expedient manner helping my brother avoid extra hurdles in the VA matter. I recommend him to anyone who wants not only the best results, but those that want a lawyer that will give you the individualized attention.

Professional and persuasive

David Moyse displayed an outstanding professional demeanor in front of the jury at all times in my serious felony case. His opening statement to the jury was delivered in a very persuasive manner. I felt very safe and secure next to him at the trial table, as he made me feel confident that the jury... would return a not guilty verdict, which it did, in a mere two and a half hours. I highly recommend him.
