Types of Criminal Defense Cases Our Firm Handles
We provide strategic and personalized defense for many types of cases and work to protect your rights and pursue the most favorable resolution.
Below are some of the criminal defense cases we handle:
Felonies
Serious offenses such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, and theft that carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, require a robust and strategic defense to safeguard your future.
Misdemeanors
Charges like petty theft, simple assault, or disorderly conduct may seem less severe but can still result in fines, jail time, or a lasting criminal record without proper defense.
DUI/DWI
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can lead to license suspension, fines, and even imprisonment. We challenge evidence, field sobriety tests, and procedures to mitigate consequences.
Drug Crimes
Cases involving possession, distribution, or manufacturing of controlled substances often depend on the circumstances of arrest and the legality of searches and seizures, which we scrutinize thoroughly.
Theft and Property Crimes
From shoplifting to burglary and embezzlement, these charges require a tailored defense to address intent, evidence, and mitigating factors.
Domestic Violence
Allegations of domestic violence can be complex and emotionally charged. We work to uncover the full story and protect your rights throughout the process.
White-Collar Crimes
Infections acquired during a hospital stay due to unsanitary conditions, improper sterilization, or failure to follow infection control protocols can lead to prolonged recovery or additional health complications.
Juvenile Crimes
Representing minors accused of crimes requires a focus on rehabilitation and minimizing long-term consequences while navigating Pennsylvania’s unique juvenile justice system.
Sex Crimes
Charges like sexual assault, indecent exposure, or possession of illicit material carry severe penalties and lasting stigma, requiring a meticulous and sensitive approach to defense.
Weapons Offenses
Cases involving illegal possession, use, or trafficking of firearms or other weapons are often complex and require an understanding of federal, state, and local laws.
Probabtion Violations
·Allegations of violating probation terms can lead to severe penalties, including jail time, and require a prompt and thorough defense to avoid further consequences.
Expungement and Record Sealing
We help individuals clear their records to move forward without the burden of a criminal history that could hinder future opportunities.
Our Proven Defense Strategies in PA
We approach every criminal defense case with one goal: protecting your rights and achieving the most effective result. Because no two cases are alike, we develop tailored strategies to address the unique challenges of each situation. With a commitment to a thorough and effective defense, here are some key approaches we use to fight for your freedom and future:
- Innocence: Asserting that the defendant did not commit the crime, often supported by an alibi or evidence proving they were elsewhere at the time of the crime.
- Constitutional Violations: Arguing that the defendant’s constitutional rights were violated, such as illegal searches and seizures, lack of Miranda warnings, or improper police conduct.
- Self-Defense: Claiming that the defendant acted to protect themselves or others from imminent harm or danger.
- Insanity Defense: Arguing that the defendant was legally insane at the time of the crime and could not distinguish right from wrong or understand the consequences of their actions.
- Duress: Asserting that the defendant was forced to commit the crime under threat of imminent harm or death.
- Entrapment: Claiming that law enforcement induced the defendant to commit a crime they would not have otherwise committed.
- Mistake of Fact: Arguing that the defendant had a genuine and reasonable belief in a fact that, if true, would make their actions non-criminal.
- Intoxication: Claiming that the defendant was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, impairing their ability to form the requisite intent to commit the crime. This can be a defense in specific circumstances, typically more applicable in mitigating charges rather than absolving guilt.
- Alibi: Providing evidence that the defendant was somewhere else when the crime was committed, making it impossible for them to be the perpetrator.
- Necessity: Arguing that the defendant committed the crime to prevent greater harm.
- Consent: Asserting that the alleged victim consented to the defendant’s actions, which would otherwise be considered a crime.
- Lack of Intent: Claiming that the defendant did not intend to commit the crime can be crucial in many criminal cases.
- Double Jeopardy: Asserting that the defendant cannot be tried twice for the same crime once acquitted or convicted, as the Fifth Amendment prohibits.
