About Christopher

Biography

With roughly an 85%+ "win rate" (no finding of guilt verdict at trial), Mr. Moschkin has secured his spot atop of the DUI/DWI bar in Maryland. Practice areas extend into business law for everything from litigation to tech startups and stock purchase agreements. Extensive work in Landlord-Tenant law.

I represent clients in Maryland DUI/DWI cases with a focus on strategy, scientific defenses, and protecting what matters most: your license, your record, and your future.

I handle litigation with a focus on leverage, strategy, and results. From business disputes to landlord-tenant and contract cases, I prepare every matter seriously and push to put my clients in the strongest position possible.

Greatest lawyer out there

Mr. Moschkin worked out a full dismissal of my serious criminal traffic case in Hyattsville District Court. Very smooth and easy to work with. Will definitely be my lawyer for anything I might need in the future.

Posted by Kenron | March 11, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Excellent lawyer

I had an excellent experience with Christopher. I was facing a driving on a suspended license charge and was really stressed about the situation, but he handled everything professionally and confidently. He explained the process clearly, kept me informed, and fought hard for my case. Thanks to his wo...rk, my case was dismissed today. I truly appreciate the effort and dedication he put into helping me. If you’re looking for a lawyer who knows what he’s doing and will work to get you the best possible outcome, I highly recommend him.

I appreciaet the trust placed in my services by my clients like you. It's truly a blessing to be able to get serious criminal traffic charges dismissed especially for someone with a CDL that needs their license to earn a living. The system can be brutal and harsh, that's why I fight with every ounce that I have to make sure the best outcomes are available for everyone not just the super rich, but everyone of any income level. Thanks for letting me prove my skills in court by securing a positive outcome for you.

Achieved the exact outcome I wanted

I had a traffic court issue in Hartford County, Maryland, but the amount of violations the Trooper put on the ticket, for speeding in a straight line, would have revoked my license for the single infraction. Not only did Mr Moschkin ensure I only had speeding, removing the negligent and reckless,... he also ensured I had. I points added to my license. He achieved exactly what I wanted.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
