• DUI/DWI
  If you’re charged with driving under the influence of drugs, or alcohol, then you need to speak to our Philadelphia criminal attorneys. Our attorneys can help protect your rights, and ensure that you’re not unfairly prosecuted, or over-penalized for something you didn’t do. In Pennsylvania, the legal limit is.08, which means if you are driving with a BAC over that amount, then you could be charged with DUI. Law enforcement officers could administer field sobriety tests, and conduct blood/breath tests in order to determine whether you were driving impaired.
• Sex Crimes
  One can contact a lawyer after or before bailing out. A lawyer is critical when a person is convicted of serious crimes such as murder, DUI after buying alcohol from a liquor store, theft of gemstones, rape or robbery with violence. The lawyer has a strong understanding of the legal provisions required to protect the person against harassment by the law enforcement officials. However, one must determine whether he can afford a lawyer or not. He can ask friends and family members to recommend one. The US government guarantees everyone who cannot afford a lawyer free legal representation. The court will appoint a lawyer to help. One can also contact a public defender to help with the case. A public defender is a trained lawyer who has the interest of the people convicted of a crime at heart. They do not work for the court like some people think.

• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Legally speaking, a misdemeanor is an offense that is considered less severe than a felony and therefore carries lighter penalties. It is however, more serious that an infraction (offenses which are punishable only by fines), so even misdemeanor can have some severe consequences.
• Drug Crimes
  The first step your attorney can take is inspect all evidence and conduct an investigation into the case in building a counter argument to the state charges. Your attorney can question the officers on the stand, along with any other witnesses the state may attempt to compel to court for testimony. All evidence can be evaluated as well in respect to proper search and seizure and inaccurate determination to its consist, which is common in drug cases. Police regularly are non-compliant to proper and legal Constitution requirements of protocol because they think they are not liable for untrue statements in court. When there are enough factors to instigate a consideration of reasonable doubt, your attorney can move immediately to take a case directly to trial, which no prosecutor ever wants. All prosecutors want is a conviction or state evidence testimony, which can put an innocent defendant in a precarious situation when the true criminal has friends on the street who know the innocent suspect. Your attorney can ensure that all of you legal rights are observed, including the right to being protected when threatened concerning an ongoing criminal prosecution.
• Assault
  When you’re charged with a serious crime, most likely your main concern will be the length of a possible sentence. There are many components in a criminal defense case, but our goal is to show the court that you do not deserve the maximum penalty for the crime you are being accused of. Whether it’s a drug offense, assault charges, or theft, we work with you to present your defense and to determine the best course of action. We strive to reduce your sentence, or eliminate it completely, by requesting an alternate ruling. Whether you need a probation violation lawyer or someone to represent you for a serious crime, we can help.
• Murder
• Probation Violation
• Homicide
• Shoplifting
  A misdemeanor can be identified by how severe the crime is. The less severe, the better. For instance, petty theft such as shoplifting is typically considered to be a misdemeanor. However, if someone is to shoplift a high dollar amount of merchandise, such as in the thousands, that is a surefire felony charge. Likewise, drug possession is typically a misdemeanor, but if the quantity is large enough that the person most likely had an intention to sell, the charge will most likely be a felony.
