Begin Your Criminal Defense in Reading, Pennsylvania
When you are arrested, certain things happen to you—the police detain you and book you, but once you are booked, you have the opportunity to call an attorney.
If you have a loved one in jail right now, pick up the phone and call us. We can arrange bail and begin crafting a criminal defense that will protect the rights of the accused as soon as possible.
After you are released, we wait for the prosecutor to file charges against you, and, then, we start to respond to those charges by filing for discovery, or the process of obtaining the information the prosecutor wants to use against you, and using other types of evidence, like witness testimony from depositions or physical evidence.
If we can plea you out and you agree to this strategy, we do that, so that you may put the ordeal behind you. If we need to go to trial, our attorneys are prepared to fight for your rights in an aggressive, effective manner.
