As a Philadelphia criminal defense attorney, I have been advocating on behalf of clients facing criminal charges for over 15 years. If you are under investigation for a criminal offense, or if you’ve recently been arrested, it is advisable to obtain legal representation immediately. I represent clients who have been charged with felony and misdemeanor crimes. I have achieved many successful verdicts and favorable plea deals over the years, and providing my clients with a top notch criminal defense is something I take very seriously. For the last 15 years I have built my criminal law practice on the belief that the most important goal is obtaining the best possible results for the client, and helping them get through what is likely the toughest time in their life. Being prosecuted for a criminal offense is something most people don’t anticipate, and the anxiety and fear can be overwhelming.
If you are under surveillance, you were just arrested, or you are facing criminal charges, you will need the representation of a criminal attorney immediately. There is probably nothing more stressful to go through than to be arrested and prosecuted for a criminal act. When you are arrested for a criminal offense, you will often experience a feeling of hopelessness. You can fight the charges and you can win. For over 15 years now I have been advocating on the behalf of clients in this very situation and protecting their rights in a court of law. You can’t leave things to chance when years of your life are at stake and the prosecuting attorney smells blood.
Being accused for any criminal offense can have a devastating effect on the life of the defendant. In addition to the overwhelming stress and anxiety that occurs from being tried in a court of law for a criminal offense, there is also the chance that you could be incarcerated in a county jail or state prison if you are convicted of what you’re being charged with. Additional forms of punishment include, but are not limited to: probation, harsh fines, mandatory classes, expensive counseling, community service, restitution, sex offender registration, loss of driving privileges, restraining orders, and others. When you have an aggressive attorney representing you in court, you can improve your conditions drastically in regards to whatever sentence you receive.
In a large metropolitan area like Philadelphia, there are numerous defense attorneys who would be happy to take you on as a client, regardless of whether they can realistically get you an acquittal or a favorable plea deal. When you are overwhelmed with fear and anxiety over your recent arrest, you are often not well equipped to make a decision as important as who you will have representing you in a court of law. As a criminal defense lawyer, I have defended clients facing every type of criminal charge and done so successfully. I have represented clients who have been charged with drug crimes, violent crimes, white collar crimes, federal crimes, domestic violence, theft crimes, sex crimes, and weapons charges, among others. I have litigated on the behalf of clients facing nearly every type of felony and misdemeanor offense.
The prosecutor’s main goal, or objective, is to see you receive the maximum sentence for the criminal charges you are facing. They will try for this every time if someone foolishly goes without legal representation. If someone chooses to go with a lawyer who doesn’t have the tenacity to fight for them, or is not equally matched to do battle with the prosecution, the outcome will not be good. One almost never has to face a maximum sentence in this scenario, but the plea deal which is offered is merely for the prosecuting attorney’s convenience, as their docket is almost always full with new cases being added daily. When you have a strategic and effective criminal defense, you can use this to your advantage.
Criminal cases are often very complicated. Even the smallest detail can have a profound effect on the outcome of your case. A good Philadelphia criminal lawyer can help navigate you through the criminal justice system. A good criminal defense lawyer will thoroughly examine every facet of the evidence against their client, and look for the best way to discredit that evidence. Many people would be surprised at how often the momentum can be shifted in a criminal case once one seemingly insignificant piece of evidence comes to light.
For over 15 years I have built my criminal law practice on devoting myself to my client’s needs and ensuring that they have the best form of legal representation, which in turn will result in the best possible outcome in their criminal case. The best way to protect your rights and to preserve your freedom is to retain the services of an effective and experienced criminal defense attorney like myself.
As a Philadelphia defense attorney, I realize that when you contact my office to consult with me that you may feel embarrassed or ashamed of the criminal offense you are being charged with. It is very important to know that I have truly seen it all, and I have never judged anyone who has come to me for representation. The only thing I am concerned with is providing you the best possible legal representation for your situation which will ensure the best possible outcome. I will not judge you or your actions, and I will listen to your needs and break down all options available to you in your particular set of circumstances. Above all else, when I advocate on your behalf, I understand that the stakes are high, regardless of what charges you are facing and what the potential sentence is.
