If you have been charged with a crime in Harrisburg,
York,
Gettysburg, or anywhere throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you may have already asked yourself, "Do I need a
PA Criminal Defense Attorney?" .
When this question is asked, many people probably hope the response is "no" because they do not want to absorb the cost of hiring a private attorney. However, the fact that you are asking the question suggest you already know the appropriate response. So, do yourself a favor and consider what that answer really means.
No, if you do not value your life, the life of your family, and your basic freedoms, you do not need a professionally aggressive attorney to fight for you in your criminal case.
Whether you have been charged with a drug offense,
DUI,
assault,
theft or
sex crime, your basic freedoms that many of us too often take for granted are on the line. As a consequence of being accused of a crime, you could be facing jail, probation, a loss of license, fines, and court costs. If you are employed and have a family to provide for, any one or a combination of these consequences could place your livelihood and family in jeopardy. The short-term costs associated with having competent and passionate counsel in your corner is a small price to pay when compared to the total costs you could be subject to if your interests are not adequately represented.
No, if you enjoy being labeled a criminal, stigmatized, and de-humanized by being accused of a crime without an opportunity to place the circumstances in the appropriate light and have your side of the story told, you do not need a criminal defense attorney that provides individualized attention, values your life, and understands there is always another side to the whole story.
When you are charged with a crime, you have been immediately labeled a "Defendant" and you are identified by a case tracking number. If this is not representative of a de-humanizing process, I'm not sure what is. While the law says you are presumed innocent until proven guilty, we know that society wrongfully assumes you must be guilty or you would not have been charged, right? Based on experience defending the rights of those accused of crimes in Pennsylvania through both negotiation and litigation, we implement a personalized strategy to re-humanize you throughout the process while also defending your rights so at the end of your case, whether by prosecutor, judge, or jury, you will be seen as a person, not a number.
If you value your life, freedom, and basic human dignity, contact us today so we can help you preserve it.
