Misdemeanor Convictions May Result in Jail Time and Other Serious Consequences
Criminal charges — even "just" misdemeanors — 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 felony charges. Misdemeanors create a public criminal record which may create unforeseen future complications in your life.
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.
Juvenile Law
I provide defense to juveniles who have encountered legal problems. Parents and guardians appreciate my straight-talk and compassion.
Traffic Tickets May Put You at Risk for Future Driver's License Suspension
Many people realize that traffic tickets can be more serious than they first appear. Indeed, Pennsylvania employs a point system which means that a traffic ticket may result in points added to your driving record. After you accumulate points, you may face a driver's license suspension or mandatory driving school. Furthermore, traffic tickets and accidents may result in higher auto insurance premiums. I attempt to get you as few points as possible to preserve your license.
For these reasons, Pennsylvanians seek my counsel and representation with regard to traffic tickets. I help clients obtain favorable dispositions of citations for traffic violations including speeding tickets and failure to obey traffic laws. Contact me, traffic ticket defense attorney, to schedule an initial consultation.
