Norristown Criminal Defense Lawyer

Navigating the criminal justice system in the Norristown courts is no easy task. The laws in Pennsylvania are so complex that even the judges have difficulty keeping up. While other states may have a few rules to govern procedures, Pennsylvania writes volumes and volumes of rules and opinions. This is because they warehouse nearly 100,000 prisoners at any time across the state. And because all these prisoners are trying to get out, they have to erect hypertechnical procedural barriers to bar relief arbitrarily.

If you are charged with a crime in Pennsylvania, it is difficult to fight for your life and freedom without the assistance of the best Norristown criminal defense attorneys. The incentive to lock people up is too strong in Pennsylvania. Jurors are pulled from a pool of registered voters who have faith in the political system and who often have strong opinions about crime. And because the courts handle so many cases, it can easily hide any errors or injustices that are committed in the process.

Only a licensed Norristown attorney can take your case to the public through the press if they destroy key evidence or make unfair rulings to frame you. By arming yourself with a top-notch attorney, you are already making their goals harder. They like to lock up mentally ill and defenseless people who can’t afford proper representation.

Traffic Violations and DUI Cases in Norristown

Alcohol is sold everywhere across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, if you are found on the roads with any alcohol in your bloodstream, you can face severe injuries to your reputation and economic status. Pennsylvania treats DUI cases with grave seriousness and can sentence you to five years imprisonment on the first offense. They can also force you to take alcohol rehab classes and to pay hefty fines under duress of reincarceration.

If you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of more than 0.08 percent, you are technically in violation of the DUI law. However, they broaden this even further by considering the testimony of officers regarding your perceived condition. The police can allege that you had slurred speech, glassy eyes, staggered gait, and that you were swerving to convict you without exceeding the legal limit. They can also pile on charges, such as reckless driving or resisting arrest. You can even be charged with DUI if your keys are simply in the ignition of a parked vehicle.

Even falling behind on payments for traffic tickets can land you in prison. You can be brought into court on a bench warrant and held in contempt if you fail to attend scheduled hearings. Your driver’s license can also be suspended. And if you are found driving with a suspended license, you can be imprisoned for this as well. And if the courts alert the local police that your license was suspended, they may be on the lookout for you.

Misdemeanor and Felony Crimes in Norristown

The tyranny of the Pennsylvania justice system doesn’t really start until they charge you with a misdemeanor or felony. In most cases, they charge you with multiple violations for one single event. They get around the double jeopardy protections of the U.S. Constitution by using a sophism that one distinctive element makes it a whole new crime. Therefore, you will be charged with a Felony 3 for “Unlawful Use of a Communication Device” if your computer or SmartPhone was involved in the commission of a felony threat. This can tack on an additional three to seven years.

The felony charges in Pennsylvania carry virtual life sentences when compiled together. This forces defendants to plead guilty even if they are innocent. Only a very skilled Norristown criminal defense attorney can stop them from playing games with your life. The officials who work in Pennsylvania are too hardened and don’t have any conscience about locking people up over fake crimes and nonsense. If they have real victims and evidence against you, it is impossible to get any traction without a thorough and experienced Norristown attorney.
