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.

Superb Lawyer

Christopher Moschkin came highly recommended and if you are ever in need of an attorney; I highly recommend him! I got a DWI and was possibly facing six charges. I met with him on 12/13/21; I had an MVA hearing on 12/14/21 and my court date was 12/16/21. He thoroughly explained the charges and how he... would be able to represent me for the best possible outcome and I retained him as my attorney. He was extremely knowledgeable, courteous, honest and friendly. With Chris’s expertise; I was found not guilty of refusing to submit to chemical test for intoxication at my MVA Hearing (a guilty verdict would have been a mandatory 270 day license suspension). As for my case (strongly against the prosecutions recommendation), I was granted Probation before Judgement (12 months total with 8 unsupervised after four months with no infractions), I have to pay a nominal fine and I do not have the ignition interlock installed. I could not have received a better outcome without him!!!!! I will be referring anyone I know that is looking for an attorney to him.

Lessons Learned

I made the mistake of driving home after a couple of drinks from a bar. I was a little buzzed, coherent, but technically above the legal limit, with a 1/2 gram of coke in my pocket. l was pulled over and life went downhill from there. I was reccommended and hired Mr. Moschkin after a phone consultati...on. Not only did I beat the case, but he remained professional and kept me informed the whole time. I learned valuable lessons and have changed me life for the better.

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. I explained the situation to the best of my ability & neither of us was sure of the outcome. Nonetheless, representation was necessary & as he ...proceeded to study case law with regards to my case he was increasingly confident in his abilities to have a favorable outcome. Unlike other lawyers, Christopher kept me in the loop with regards to changes to the case & was in contact fairly regularly. Long story short; he/we won & he has a client for life. I hope I don't need to go to court ever again but if I do; I'm gonna need him there! I really appreciate his time, effort & consideration as my legal counsel. It was worth the money.
