Sorry to have loss. Our prayer are with you at this time. I knew your father. He handled a case for me a while back ago (93) . He took the case when his boss advised him not to. He got me as much as they are offering me and my family involving a drunk driver. We suffered perm. inj. My oldest son with have to deal with his inj. for the rest of his life. Wish your dad could have been in our corner.

Thank you for the nice comments. You are all right my Dad was a very nice man. He may have messed up, but he paid back all of the money owed. I wish that would have been written in the article. Maybe the author should remove this article and give respect to his family during their time of grieving, when all of his kids think about him every moment and know he is in Heaven smiling down on us. I hope to all the Dad’s that read this article, go home to their kids and kiss and hug them because you never know what day will bring. A dad’s love is the greatest. He is the reason for my success and I will continue to make him proud.

I thought Mr. Moskal was a very decent man. I liked him from the minute I met him. My condolences go out to his family. I had many enjoyable conversations with Dave. Everyone make’s mistakes beating someone over the head for their past is crazy.

Ms. Moskal I think and feel your dad was a very special person. In the short time I dealt with him he was very genuine and sincere. He is your dad, hell with what others think. I am so sorry for your loss.

My point here was not to villify the man. What he did as an attorney was wrong, and, in the end, I think the consequences of what he did so far exceeded anything he could have gained that he paid the price for that in full — and then some. My hope in presenting this here is not to further punish him, but to provide enough of his story so that someone on the edge of falling off that ethical cliff might think twice about it.

I think Mr. Moskal’s daughter’s spirited defense of her father does her credit. In the end, it’s heartening to know that a man who needlessly tossed away so much was able to retain one thing of great value, his child’s love. I don’t think we need to delve any deeper than that.

This man’s career as a thief overshadows his accomplishments as a father, imo. I suppose Madoff was a wonderful man as well.

Kathy, I have no doubt you and your family have the prayers and sincere sympathy of every lawyer. Lawyering is a tough business, and Dave was always on the center stage, doing the best he could do. I do not know what the “mystery” was, and do not care at this point. Treasure his many accomplishments… and the help he provided to so many people throughout his career. I applaud the courage of your response. I would be very proud of my daughters if they did the same.

Here I am only talking about Mr. Moskal’s behavior as an attorney. I did not know him personally, but I do know many who have described his winning personality. Mr. Moskal was by all accounts a man of uncommon intelligence, talents and charm — which is what makes this all the more unfortunate. I am sorry for your loss.

My dad was a wonderful man who loved everyone. Funny how you don’t write about his 3 children who loved him dearly no matter what he did. You have no sympathy for his family. Did you ever think about what the kids are going through? No, because you have no heart. No respect at all. You may not think this, but my dad was a wonderful man with a big heart. I will always remember the wonderful memories.
You may never know who Dave Moskal was, but I know he was the best father a daughter could ask for.
