Services

Criminal Defense

We provide aggressive representation for felony and misdemeanor charges, including assault, drug offenses, and theft. Our approach combines thorough case investigation with strategic courtroom advocacy to protect clients' rights and freedom. With experience in Pennsylvania and New Jersey courts, we work to secure dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable trial outcomes while maintaining open communication throughout the legal process.

DUI Defense

Our DUI defense practice challenges traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and chemical evidence to protect driving privileges and minimize penalties. We handle first-offense and repeat DUI cases, including license suspension hearings and ARD program eligibility. By scrutinizing police procedures and forensic evidence, we aim to secure charge dismissals or reduced sentencing through negotiated plea agreements or jury trials.

Personal Injury

We represent clients injured in car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and workplace accidents to recover compensation for medical expenses and lost wages. Our firm negotiates with insurance companies and pursues litigation when necessary, focusing on cases involving medical negligence or severe injuries. Successful settlements include six-figure awards for clients harmed by unsafe premises or defective products.

Consumer Protection

Our consumer protection practice targets auto dealer fraud, illegal repossessions, and deceptive business practices. We help clients recover damages for concealed vehicle histories, overcharging, and unlawful repossession damages. Through litigation and settlement negotiations, we enforce consumer rights under state and federal laws while providing clear guidance through complex legal proceedings.

Work Injury

We advocate for workers injured on the job, ensuring proper compensation for medical treatment and lost income. Our services include navigating workers' compensation claims and pursuing third-party liability cases against negligent employers or contractors. By combining workers' rights knowledge with personal injury expertise, we help clients secure full financial recovery while protecting against employer retaliation.

Questions

What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest in Pennsylvania?

Contact our office immediately to preserve evidence. We recommend politely declining field sobriety tests and requesting legal representation before answering questions. Our team will review police procedures to identify defense opportunities.

How can I get my criminal charges dismissed?

We analyze police reports and evidence for constitutional violations. Through motions to suppress evidence or preliminary hearing challenges, we've secured dismissals in assault, drug, and DUI cases by exposing procedural errors.

What qualifies as auto dealer fraud?

Auto dealer fraud includes concealing vehicle damage history, charging above advertised prices, or falsifying loan terms. Our firm has recovered damages for clients through litigation when dealerships engage in deceptive practices.

Do you handle out-of-state legal matters?

We represent clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey courts. Our attorney holds licenses in both states and federal district courts, allowing us to handle cross-state legal issues efficiently.

What happens during a Pennsylvania preliminary arraignment?

At your preliminary arraignment, you'll learn charges, set bail, and schedule hearings. We often secure ROR (release on recognizance) for clients while preparing defense strategies for subsequent court stages.
