Being charged with a criminal offense is one of the most serious and unfortunate events that can occur in an individual’s life. The repercussions can be significant – and permanent. A conviction in a criminal proceeding can result in anything from a small fine to a period of incarceration. There can also be “collateral damage” resulting from a conviction, ranging from a possible license suspension from PENNDOT, all the way to a permanent criminal record that could affect your ability to get future jobs or financial aid.

If you are charged with a criminal offense, it is a good idea to hire an attorney to advise you at every step of the proceeding. Attorneys have an ethical duty to be a zealous advocate for their clients. Hiring an attorney to be your advocate in the courtroom is an important step toward protecting your Constitutional rights and making sure that you are being treated fairly at every step of the proceeding.
