A Lawyer Standing Up for Defendants' Rights
I'm Ralph Karsh, a Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney who has practiced criminal law in Pennsylvania since 1990. If you've been charged with a crime, I will aggressively protect your rights and fight for you every step of the way.
Contact my office to set up a free consultation to discuss any criminal charges you may be facing, including but not limited to the following:
- Murder and homicide: These are the most serious criminal charges anyone can possibly face, and 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 to drug trafficking.
- 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.
- Money laundering: If you've been entrapped in a money laundering investigation, I will fight for your rights and your freedom.
- Assault and battery: I defend clients against assault, battery, domestic violence and related violent crime charges.
- 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 DUI charges.
- 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.
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.
I pride myself on staying up to date on the law and the latest developments in federal and state jurisprudence. You can rely on me to advise and represent you based on nearly 20 years of experience in criminal law. Contact me to discuss your case.
