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.

One of the Best
Chris Moschkin is a top notch attorney! My business was sued for $90,000 in Maryland Circuit Court! I was scared I would have to declare bankruptcy and lose the company that took me 12 years to build. He got the lawsuit dismissed within a few short weeks.

Great lawyer
I was backing up a 10 year suspended sentence and hired Chris for a new charge I received. His first cross examination question pretty much closed the case for the judge in my bench trial. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to friends and family. Thanks bud!!
William, It's a pleasure to have you as a former client and a friend. I look forward to helping you with less serious matters in the future! Cheers! Chris
