Attorney Christopher Moschkin immediately after a tough DUI case in Silver Spring District Court — 2nd offense, client facing possible jail time and deportation. He brought a Chat GPT printout for me to use to try and beat his case. It was completely irrelevant based on a rule Maryland does not follow. We used MY argument instead and got the whole case dismissed!

His career began at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP in Washington, D.C., one of the nation’s top intellectual property firms. While in law school, he clerked for practicing attorneys before entering public service as a Contracting Officer and Policy Analyst with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Christopher Moschkin is a DUI and DWI Defense Attorney in Montgomery County, Marland where he has won numberous awards for his tireless and fearless representation of DUI and DWI defendants in Rockville and Silver Spring, District Courts among other locations and other services offered such as criminal defense, white collar federal criminal defense, and serious traffic criminal cases.

Fierce DUI, DWI, and Serious Traffic Defense
Chris takes on “must appear” criminal traffic cases and DUI/DWI charges with the same ferocity as any high-stakes criminal defense matter. Many attorneys encourage clients to plead guilty in cases that could be won — Chris takes them to trial. His philosophy is simple:
“You have nothing to lose by fighting in District Court — and everything to gain.”
He knows that a Circuit Court appeal offers another opportunity for negotiation if a guilty verdict occurs at the lower level, so he encourages clients to take their best shot early. His focus is not on moving cases quickly to increase profits, but on achieving the best possible result for every individual client.
When it comes to appeals, Chris puts his commitment into practice — offering Circuit Court appeals starting as low as $500, when many firms charge several thousand dollars. As he explains, this comes from a lesson passed down by a mentor with over 20 years of experience:
“Treat clients like family, not bank accounts.”
Recognition for Excellence as a Maryland DUI Lawyer
Fewer than 2.5% of attorneys nationwide ever earn a Super Lawyers® Rising Stars distinction over an entire legal career. In Maryland, this recognition highlights attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional skill, peer respect, and a proven record of client success in their field.
Attorney Moschkin is proud to have been named a Super Lawyers Rising Star for 2024. While he cannot discuss future selections before the official announcement, he will celebrate and share any future honors the moment he is permitted to do so.
Maryland DUI Lawyer actually from Wheaton Maryland/Montgomery County. Personal Roots and Community Commitment –
Raised on the border of Kensington and Wheaton, Chris comes from a hardworking blue- and white-collar family. As the son of an immigrant, he takes immigrant rights to heart and proudly welcomes newcomers to the United States, the State of Maryland, and his own Aspen Hill–Wheaton–Glenmont neighborhood.
Chris studied Spanish for two semesters at the University of Maryland, College Park, and has spent the last three years developing real-world Spanish skills for legal consultations. While he continues to refine his fluency, he uses technology and cultural understanding to communicate clearly with Spanish-speaking clients — never judging anyone based on documentation status.
He even watches for ICE presence near courthouses, ensuring clients can make informed decisions about attendance and safety. As he says:
“My clients pay me to do the worrying so they can sleep better at night — knowing their cases are in experienced, competent hands, and that I’ll fight for the best possible results.”
