Local attorney A.J. Moscone headed overseas, once again, to compete in his fourth marathon. Moscone, a Beachmont native, ran the 2026 London Marathon. The marathon passed through landmarks, such as the Tower Bridge and the highway to Westferry, then circled through Mudchute, Docklands and Canary Wharf. The final five miles of the course takes in The Highway, Tower Hill and Victoria Embankment before you reach Parliament Square, Birdcage Walk and the final corner in front of Buckingham Palace.
Raised in East Boston by parents Al and Val Moscone, A.J. is a graduate of Savio Preparatory High School, Suffolk University and New England Law/Boston. Husband of Emily and dad to Giulianna and Luciano, Moscone first stepped into the courtroom in 2015. He specializes in criminal defense, including motor vehicle charges, domestic charges, financial crimes, casino and gambling charges, and all major felonies. “I’ve always liked helping people and to me the word ‘attorney’ is synonymous with being a problem solver. I’m fortunate enough to now be in a position to help people as a career.”
Like many others, Moscone took up exercising and running during the 2020 Pandemic. In addition to London, Moscone ran Berlin this past fall, the Boston Marathon in 2023, Chicago Marathon in 2024, and the Falmouth Road Race in 2024 and 2025. He will also run the Falmouth Road Race again this year.
