You can put your trust in my personal service, experience, expertise and exceptional ability to understand the issues in your case and to present a defense that will result in the best outcome for you.  I don't make empty promises, only to get you the best result that you can get in your case.  In some cases a "Win" is saving an accused from the death penalty.  In  others, its obtaining a probationary sentence instead of incarceration.  After all, when your hand is caught inside of the cookie jar, the issue isn't whether its your hand, but what punishment you're facing!!  With 28 years at the defense bar, after having served as an Assistant District Attorney in Philadelphia, I know how to handle your case.  I look forward to serving you!

The name you can trust for the best result in your case!

DRUG OFFENSES

Drug charges, whether involving possession, possession with intent to deliver, or actual distribution, are defensible on two levels.  The first challenge is to the constitutionality of the search and seizure which resulted in recovery of the drugs.  If it’s a bad search, the drugs don’t come in at trial and the prosecution usually folds.  Even with a good search, unless the drugs are actually found on the person, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused not only knew that the drugs were there, but that he or she had the ability to exercise control over the drugs, that is, to possess them.  Drugs and drug-related offenses comprise most of the crime in the area.  As a result, I have handled innumerable drug cases ranging from possession of a roach to distribution of kilos.

DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Many individuals arrested for DUI believe that their alcohol or drug intake must be such that it affects their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.  In fact, the DUI law in Pennsylvania mandates guilt for any person whose blood contains virtually any amount of a controlled substance or a blood alcohol level of .08% within two hours of operation of a motor vehicle, period. 

With incredibly harsh mandatory minimum jail sentences and other oppressive mandatory penalties including license suspension and installation of ignition interlock devices on your cars, choose an experienced DUI attorney who knows the issues and can protect you from a wrongful conviction.  I have defended hundreds of DUI cases.
