Best lawyer all around

Mr. Moschkin is a superb landlord tenant lawyer. I'm a landlord of 16 years. I have five condos in the same building. I know the law very well. I don't usually hire lawyers. But I was busy last week and didn't have time to put the eviction for failure to pay rent together as tightly as I know these c...ourts require because they just want us to let people live in our property for free. He was able to get me a temporary license renewal with inspection, able to get March rent in addition to January and February. Some judges won't do it until April. Not sure where he is seeing these judges outside of court, but clearly they're friends or something. I have never had a Montgomery County judge give me the month for the court date that we are in. I'm not going to be frugal anymore. I'd rather just hire Chris and forget about it from now on.

Look no further!

Landlord-Tenant matter in Rockville District Court before a strict judge, Hon. Rand Gelber's Court. My tenant basically stopped paying me back in the beginning of winter. She is and was an absolute NIGHTMARE. Mr. Moschkin did a fantastic job of getting a judgment in my favor in the amount of rent and... late fee as well as the right to possession of the property! I basically hired him right there in the Courthouse and he had almost zero time to prepare and he still figured everything out so that I will be getting rid of this awful tenant very soon. Very reasonable price, made me feel like family! I cannot thank him enough! I highly recommend him for Landlord Tenant law if you are a landlord. He really knows his way around this are of law. He even has a great relationship with the public defender office so he could get a critical piece of evidence I needed printed out for us at their office which was VERY impressive. It's almost like he has an office INSIDE the Courthouse. Definitely saved the day! I will be using him for ALL of my legal needs moving forward! He has a client for life!

Replied last February 25, 2026

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.

Mr Moschkin save me DUI again! Thank you so much Mr. Moschkin!

Mr. Moschkin helped me in my most recent DUI case on January 6th, 2026 in Silver Spring District Court on 2nd Avenue. I already knew about him because I hired him for my first DUI/DWI case in 2024. I my most recent case I was using Chat GPT the night before and I thought I found gold. It was a th...ing called the "shelter rule". I was very happy and I take it with me to court and show him. He said Maryland doesn't follow shelter rule but we use work I filed in court yesterday about the evidence no good because my English not too good. We there all morning. Prosecutor no read the filing from Mr. Moschkin but then he read it he talk to police and then talk to Mr. Moschkin and he come to me and say everything OK. We go see the judge and they dismissed the case! All of it! Both the criminals DUI and DWI completely dismiss. . I so grateful for Mr. Moschkin save me two times, one in 2024 and one in 2026! Perfecto! Mejor Abogado! Gracias Sr. Moschkin! He the best DUI lawyer in Maryland!
