Aston Township Criminal Lawyers

You will probably get an uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach if you are ever arrested in Aston Township. This is understandable. Having a run-in with the law is rarely a pleasant situation. You will probably be confused. You will feel alone and probably afraid. This is why you will want to have a professional and experienced criminal defense attorney from Aston Township standing by your side from the beginning. We will fight for your legal rights and help answer any questions or concerns that you might have about the process along the way.

The Importance of Hiring An Attorney

There are many types of crimes that you can be charged with in Aston Township. Some of the examples include:

  • DUI
  • Traffic Violations
  • Drug Crimes
  • Theft
  • Fraud
  • Violent Crimes

Each of these offenses is serious and must be approached as such. They each also require a different defense strategy, which our office will prepare for you. Way too many people in Aston Township do not work to retain quality legal representation. Unfortunately, that results in an unwanted conviction and severe sentencing more often than not. This is because there is nobody willing to fight on their behalf for their rights. We are experienced in all types of legal matters in Delaware County. We understand how the court system works. We know the judges and are familiar with the prosecutors and local law enforcement. That benefits you because we put all of that knowledge to good use when developing a legal strategy that will maximize your chances of either beating the charges against you or getting a reduced sentence.

Being Charged With a DUI in Delaware County

One of the more common offenses in Delaware County involves DUIs. This is a serious charge and must be viewed as such. In Pennsylvania, you can be charged with a DUI if you are found to be operating a motorized vehicle when you have a blood alcohol content level over .08. If you are caught, you will typically be booked and charged with the crime. If convicted, this charge will stay on your record permanently. That can have quite a few negative consequences for you moving forward.

You will want to have one of your lawyers experienced in DUI cases working on your behalf from the beginning. We have a proven track record of helping clients to get their charges vacated or sentences reduced as a result of our help. It is our job to listen to the circumstances surrounding your case and then develop a legal strategy designed to help best fight the charges against you. In our role, we are honest with you and let know what is happening every step of the way. There is no reason for you to go through this frightening time alone. We are also available around the clock, so we can be there to help you no matter what time of day or night you are charged with DUI.

The Charge of Property Crimes

Another common offense in Aston Township is related to property crimes. This seems to especially involve juveniles who engage in a variety of pranks and acts of vandalism. These might seem minor in relation to other possible charges that you can face, but that is not how law enforcement officials view it. The penalties for a conviction can be rather severe. Even juveniles can be remanded to a detention facility if the charges are serious enough.

No matter what the charge might be, you need a lawyer specializing in criminal law in Aston Township. You do not want to rely on a public defender, and you do not want to delay the process any longer than necessary. You should have your lawyer present with you from the very first hearing or arraignment.
