Defending Against Felony and Misdemeanor Charges
I am a skilled Allegheny County criminal defense attorney who personally handles every case that comes into my law firm. I will consult with you about your legal options, oversee independent investigations into the facts of your case and prepare all relevant documents to develop an aggressive defense strategy against serious allegations, including:
- Murder and homicide: These are the most serious violent crimes anyone can possibly face. I am fully prepared to defend against them.
- Drug crimes: I defend clients accused of a full range of Pennsylvania and federal drug crimes, from drug possession of street drugs to drug trafficking illegal narcotics and prescription drugs.
- Sex crimes: If you are facing lifetime sex offender registration due to a sexual assault, child molestation or other sex charge, you deserve a chance to defend yourself.
- Theft, burglary and robbery: A criminal conviction on any sort of property crime charge could make it difficult for you to get a job in the future.
- White collar crimes: I am experienced at making effective cases for the defense of clients charged with fraud, embezzlement and related crimes.

- Weapons offenses: If you've been charged with carrying a concealed weapon, with being a felon in possession, or with another weapons offense, I can help.
- DUI / drunk driving: I have a reputation for taking all available opportunities to aggressively fight underage drinking charges. I also have an extensive background defending first time and repeat offenders accused of drunk driving.
- Traffic offenses: Being convicted of a serious traffic offense, such as reckless driving or driving with a suspended license, can have significant fallout.
- Juvenile offenses: Juvenile records are not completely erased when a child becomes an adult. It is important to fight juvenile charges whenever possible.
- Probation violations: If you are accused of violating your probation terms, I will act quickly to help you obtain a favorable resolution.
I have extensive experience in all aspects of criminal defense practice. I know how to investigate and file motions to challenge illegal searches and seizures, how to deal with government snitches and other witnesses with questionable credibility, and how to appeal criminal convictions when necessary.
