State College, Pennsylvania, Criminal Defense Lawyers

Courtroom Experience • Staff Investigator • Aggressive Defense

There is no doubt that the criminal justice system is adversarial. Experienced and talented prosecutors, who are generally well trained, represent the government against the criminally accused. The prosecutor works with law enforcement to use the resources of the State to convict individuals charged with crimes. The consequences of a conviction can include incarceration, a permanent criminal record, fines, costs and restitution, probation, loss of licenses, embarrassment, humiliation, and loss of reputation.

We have the legal knowledge and expert resources to blunt the impact of a criminal charge.

Criminal Law Is Our Primary Practice Area

Choosing the right lawyer is critical. Our Pennsylvania law firm is dedicated to criminal defense. We employ four full-time criminal defense attorneys and a staff criminal investigator who is an FBI National Academy Graduate with 25 years of law enforcement experience. Each lawyer is a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys (PACDL) and we regularly attend seminars designed specifically for criminal defense.

Lawyers in Pennsylvania are required to earn 12 credit hours per year of continuing legal education ("CLE"). Our lawyers only take CLE credits in areas of criminal law. We are active in PACDL and we are devoted to staying current with the development of Pennsylvania criminal law. We routinely try cases in both state and federal courts and our criminal litigation experience includes preliminary hearings, detention hearings, suppression hearings, plea negotiations, jury trials, bench trials and appeals.
