Comprehensive Criminal Defense Services

Criminal charges can take many forms, each with serious consequences. As a former prosecutor with years of experience handling a wide range of cases, our attorney brings valuable insight to your defense. We understand the strategies the prosecution will use and how to effectively counter them. Some of the criminal cases we handle include:

 


DUI and Traffic Violations

Driving under the influence (DUI) is one of the most common charges in Mercer County. Pennsylvania DUI laws are strict, with potential penalties including license suspension, heavy fines, and even jail time. Whether it’s a first offense or a subsequent charge, we work tirelessly to minimize the impact on your life.

Drug Crimes

Drug offenses can range from possession of a small amount of marijuana to serious charges like possession with intent to deliver (PWID) or trafficking. Our firm has successfully defended clients against a wide variety of drug charges by challenging illegal searches, questioning evidence, and negotiating favorable outcomes.

Violent Crimes

Allegations of assault, domestic violence, or other violent crimes carry heavy penalties and lasting consequences. Our attorney builds strong defenses by investigating the facts, interviewing witnesses, and uncovering weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.

Theft and Property Crimes

Theft, burglary, and vandalism charges can harm your reputation and result in significant legal penalties. Whether you’re accused of shoplifting or a more serious theft crime, we will work to protect your rights and pursue the best possible outcome.

Sex Crimes

Accusations of sex crimes are among the most serious a person can face. The consequences can affect your personal life, career, and freedom. With compassion and confidentiality, we defend clients against charges such as sexual assault, indecent exposure, and online solicitation.

White-Collar Crimes

Charges of fraud, embezzlement, or other white-collar crimes can lead to severe legal and financial consequences. Our attorney understands the complexities of financial crime cases and develops meticulous defense strategies tailored to your situation.

Juvenile Crimes

If your child has been accused of a crime, you need an attorney who understands the juvenile justice system in Mercer County. We work to protect your child’s future by advocating for rehabilitation over punishment.

Having a criminal record can hinder your ability to find work, secure housing, or move forward in life. Our firm can help you pursue an expungement or record sealing to restore your reputation and open up new opportunities.
