Eastern Pennsylvania Defense and Expungement Lawyer
Criminal charges — even "just" misdemeanors or summary offenses — are a serious matter. Some misdemeanor convictions may result in jail time. Others may result in expensive fines. All misdemeanors may be used to worsen your legal standing in the event of future criminal charges. Misdemeanors create a public criminal record, which may create unforeseen future complications in your life.
Contact me to learn how I may best resolve your misdemeanor case or summary offense — perhaps through a pretrial diversionary program such as ARD, I also handle appeals.
Misdemeanor Convictions May Result in Jail Time and Other Serious Consequences
As a Pennsylvania criminal defense attorney, I defend individuals charged with summary offenses and misdemeanors. I defend people charged with crimes such as:
- Harassment
- Disorderly conduct
- Simple assault
- DUI and alcohol-related charges
- Traffic tickets and violations
- Possession of drugs
- Theft
- Any other misdemeanor or summary offense charge
The good news for first offenders is that you may be eligible to pursue an alternative sentencing option such as an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD). If you successfully complete the ARD, the charges may be dismissed and your record can be expunged, giving you a "no criminal record" status.
Defense in a misdemeanor case demands your best efforts. An experienced criminal defense lawyer at your side is well qualified to help you resolve the case as favorably as possible. Contact me, Keith D. Cacciatore, by e-mail through this Web site or by calling 610-954-8501 to schedule a consultation.
