Criminal Justice in Upper Providence Township Explained

As we mentioned, the crime rate in Upper Providence Township is quite low. Because of this, any individual who is thought to have committed a crime anywhere in the area is prosecuted quite vigorously. The consequences of a conviction can be severe. You will not want to take anything for granted, nor will you want to make the mistake of thinking that your crime was not very severe in nature. Judges in Upper Providence Township have been known to impose the harshest sentence possible for even the most minor of misdemeanors. If you do not have quality legal representation, you may very well find yourself on the wrong end of the law when it comes to sentencing.

Having an Upper Providence Township criminal defense lawyer can make all the difference when it comes to your eventual acquittal or conviction. Remember that the consequences of a conviction can be far reaching. You might think that a minor misdemeanor will be over after you pay a small fine. This simply is not true. What you need to keep in mind is that a conviction as an adult will stay on your criminal record and follow you everywhere that you go. This might make it difficult to secure employment at a future date. Some misdemeanor convictions and most felonies will have a jail sentence attached to them. This could mean the loss of your current job and it will put your personal relationships in jeopardy.

What Does This All Mean?

What this means is that you need a criminal defense lawyer to defend you charges ranging from moving traffic violations to theft and everything in between. You might wonder what a traffic violation has to do with anything. Keep in mind that Pennsylvania has a points system when it comes to determining whether or not you get to maintain your driver’s license. Every time that you receive a citation, you can end up with between two and five points being added to your record. Once you reach six points you face higher insurance premiums and the possibility of a suspended license. You will want a lawyer to fight any citation that you get. This is just the beginning. A criminal conviction of a misdemeanor or felony is going to cause you a lot of problems. You need a lawyer examining the evidence against you so that they can begin to work out a defense strategy.

Should I Take Action if I’m Accused of a Crime in Upper Providence Township?

Due to the area’s high property values and a recent increase in both drug and property crimes police are aggressively patrolling the area to ensure the safety of its residents. This means that nearly anyone unfamiliar with the area could be unfairly targeted and subjected to an investigation.

The police may put pressure on you to speak with them during their investigation; however, Fifth Amendment rights provide you with the benefit of being able to answer questions in the presence of an attorney of your choosing. Although you may be innocent, one must remember that the police are obligated to ask questions and to determine if it’s likely that you’ve committed the crime that you’re been accused of. During their investigation, you’ll most likely be nervous and may even misspeak. Unfortunately, this information can be used against you in court.

We are available when you need us, so be certain to contact Amato Sanita Law Offices before giving any statements voluntarily to the police in Upper Providence Township.

Due to the increase in property crimes within the township, the police are taking these matters seriously and arresting adults and juveniles for these crimes. If you or a loved one have been accused of a theft from an automobile or any type of vandalism, you’ll need representation to fight these charges in court.
