Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I have been arrested?
Though it can be very upsetting to be arrested, you must remember to try to stay calm and maintain your rights.  You have the right to remain silent, and it is in your best interests to utilize that right until you can speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney.  The lawyers at Colgan Marzzacco will be able to advise you on what the best course of action is after you have been arrested. 

Should I talk to the police?
Though police or other law enforcement agents may ask you to submit to questioning or an interview without the presence of an attorney, you must remember that it will probably not benefit your defense if you speak with the police without speaking with a lawyer first.  Don’t operate under the illusion that the police will listen to your explanation and agree with your interpretation of events.  This may not be the case and you could damage your future chances of avoiding conviction.

What is the maximum penalty I can receive for a crime?
Pennsylvania does practice capital punishment, meaning that you can be sentenced to death if you are convicted of murder in the first degree.   However, the state may not seek the death penalty, which would mean that if you were convicted of murder in the first degree, you could receive life imprisonment instead of the death penalty.

Do I really need an attorney?
You are not required to utilize the services of a legal professional if you have been charged with a crime.  However, statistically speaking, individuals who retain a criminal defense lawyer have a higher rate of success in their criminal cases.   The defense team at Colgan Marzzacco is fully prepared to defend you and your rights throughout your criminal case.  They understand that your freedom is important to you and they will work tirelessly on your behalf.

What is “BAC?”
“BAC” stands for blood alcohol content or blood alcohol concentration.  It is a term that is used to refer to the amount of alcohol measurable in your bloodstream by use of a breath or blood test.  When you are pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, the officer may ask you to submit to a blood test or a breath test to determine whether your BAC is over the “legal limit,” which is .08% for a driver over the age of 21.
