Christopher G. Moschkin is a Maryland trial lawyer with a particularly strong profile in DUI/DWI defense, landlord-tenant litigation, and business-related disputes. In DUI/DWI matters, he is known for a strategic, science-driven approach that goes beyond generic defense work. His practice focuses on the issues that often decide real cases: police procedure, constitutional issues, breath and blood testing, scientific reliability, implied consent problems, and the details other lawyers sometimes miss. He has earned recognition including Super Lawyers Rising Stars and a 9.0 Superb AVVO rating, reflecting a strong reputation built in a relatively short period of practice.
In addition to DUI/DWI defense, Mr. Moschkin has actively practiced landlord-tenant law for six consecutive years, beginning during the COVID era when the courts were partially shut down and the legal landscape was unusually difficult and fast-changing. That experience required hands-on problem solving in a chaotic environment, including disputes involving possession, rent claims, lease issues, procedure, and litigation strategy under constantly evolving court operations. He continues to represent clients in landlord-tenant matters with a practical, litigation-focused mindset.
Mr. Moschkin also handles business disputes, contract matters, and other civil litigation. Before entering private practice, he worked in government and regulatory environments that sharpened his ability to analyze rules, procedures, and complex factual systems. That background informs a style of advocacy that is detail-oriented, strategic, and designed to build leverage early.
Clients who hire Christopher G. Moschkin are often facing situations with real consequences for their record, license, finances, housing, business interests, or future. His approach is straightforward: master the facts, identify the pressure points, and push each case toward the strongest possible outcome.
A slightly harder version of the opening if you want more swagger:
Christopher G. Moschkin has built a formidable Maryland practice centered on DUI/DWI defense, landlord-tenant litigation, and business-related disputes. In DUI/DWI cases, he is known for a strategic, science-driven approach focused on finding the weaknesses that can change the outcome of a case.

A wonderful experience all around.
He remained in constant contact and did a great job explaining everything, answering all my questions and putting my anxieties to rest. Long story short, he put in the work and my case was suspended. I would definitely hire again, although I hope I don't have to!

Thank you, Christopher!
I contacted Christopher for a family law issue that came up. He was straight up with me about how it is not his forte but that he would research it for me.
