Haverford Township Criminal Defense

It is important to know that you are not alone if you are ever charged with a crime. Facing the prospect of a fine and possible jail time due to a crime in Haverford Township is never something anyone wants to go through. You may feel embarrassed and you will be confused about the process and how to proceed. This is precisely why you will want to consult with a lawyer. You can think of your criminal defense attorney as a counselor. He will help you get through this by fighting the charges and looking out for your best interest at all times.

When you are first charged with a crime anywhere in Haverford Township, you will want to call our office right away and request a free consultation. This should be done as soon as possible because you never know when your next hearing will be scheduled. If you are in prison now, you will want to get bail set. We will quickly meet with you, hear the circumstances surrounding your case, and then let you know how we think you should proceed. If you retain us as your lawyer, we will immediately get to work for you. The sooner this starts, the quicker we can work to get things resolved for you.

What Happens If You Are Charged With Theft?

Theft is a serious crime. Depending on the severity of the charge, you could be charged with a felony. A conviction of this charge will result in your criminal record being permanently tarnished. This could adversely impact your employment options in the future and you could find that relationships with your family are strained as a result as well. Theft charges in Haverford Township can consist of anything from petty theft to grand larceny and everything in between. No matter what the charge may be, we will fight equally hard to see that your rights are protected and that any possible sentence is reduced as much as possible. You do not want to trust this case to anyone but the most experienced criminal defense attorney in the area.

Crimes Committed By Juveniles

This comes as no shock, but teenagers make mistakes. As a parent, you want to protect them and help them when difficult times come their way. One of those times may occur when you receive a phone call that your son or daughter has been charged with a crime. These charges will impact them just like an adult offense, but there are options. You will understandably be concerned about them and want to know how to best help them right away. This involves getting our office involved.

You should be aware that a juvenile is entitled to a preliminary hearing within 72 hours of being arrested. This hearing is designed to make a decision as to whether the charges are warranted or if the teen should be permitted to go free. You will want an experienced attorney at this hearing with your child. This is how you will know that they are receiving the best possible defense.

What About a DUI?

You probably do not need us to tell you how serious a DUI charge actually is. However, being charged with a DUI does not necessarily make you guilty. It is important to understand what is happening throughout the process so that the best possible defense strategy can be presented from the beginning. Keep in mind that a DUI conviction has wide-ranging consequences. You could have your license suspended, receive jail time, and have to pay a huge fine. It is important to have someone on your side who will examine the evidence in your case and find a plausible way to proceed.

Professional legal representation is advantageous on so many levels. If you are charged with a crime in Haverford Township, you should not feel that you have to fight the accusations alone. Contact our office for help.

Testimonials

"I found Michael Kotik via the internet with the hope by someone to help my son in what we thought was something routine. Long story short after being mislead by the prior firm and received no results and my son sat for 18 months in prison because "no one knew what was going on" Michael was able to not only..."
