We are also knowledgeable about and alert to Commercial Driver's License problems and defend truck drivers and CDL operators on virtually any traffic offense.

We can help at all stages of a criminal case. We can advise and represent persons in the early stages of a criminal investigation - sometimes avoiding prosecution. We can also handle all phases of a case if charges are filed, from surrender, arraignment, preliminary hearing, and pretrial motions to a trial. In traffic ticket and Pennsylvania driver's license cases, we often represent persons who live in other states who need help resolving Pennsylvania traffic violations or license problems. In some cases, it will not be necessary for you to return to Pennsylvania for us to handle your situation.
