If you’ve been charged with a crime, are going through a divorce or child custody dispute, or have other legal issues in Allegheny, Butler, Westmoreland, or Armstrong Counties, you need a good attorney who will fight for you. I can help you with your legal needs and protect your rights.
After graduating from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 2001, I worked with big firms before deciding to use my experience and love of the courtroom to work for criminal defense, family law, and real estate clients. When you work with me, you can expect an understanding attorney who will help you explore your options before taking charge of things in the courtroom.
If you're facing a divorce, you may feel frightened by the uncertainty of the situation. There are lots of factors to consider, especially where finances and kids are concerned. During our free telephone consultation, I can help you as you navigate this stressful time.
If you've been charged with a DUI, you may be afraid of losing your license, facing jail time, or having your life massively disrupted. While DUI charges are serious, you may be able to overcome them if the police failed to follow regulations or other circumstances are revealed.
No situation is ever truly hopeless. My job is to explore every possible way to solve your legal issue, and I won’t give up until all the options are exhausted. I don’t just focus on moving your case quickly; I consider the long-term goals for your case, too.
Behind every case is a real person with concerns and anxieties. My job as a criminal defense, real estate, and family law attorney is to help you understand your legal situation and any and all remedies that may be available. We'll work together to ensure that you're not just educated on what to expect from the system in regards to your case, but timelines and possible outcomes as well. At the end of the day, I'll be the one working on your case—not other attorneys or paralegals. Trust me to keep you informed each step of the way.
Legal questions don't magically disappear on weekends or holidays, and neither do I. I'm available to answer your questions when you have them. Because of my personal attention to your case, there's not a chance to get lost in the shuffle. If you're concerned about your case, reach out. I'll do what I can to help.
Whether you need legal guidance through a divorce, annulment, child support or custody battle, protection from abuse (PFA) situation, criminal charge, or real estate matter, I recognize that your situation is stressful enough without having to worry about the cost of hiring an attorney. Call me for a free telephone consultation and I can lay out the potential costs of your case. We can even establish a payment plan that won't break the bank. With me, you'll always know what you're going to get.
In Pennsylvania, the Courts of Common Pleas hear appeals in civil and criminal cases from the minor courts, while the Supreme Court hears direct appeals from lower court decisions. Through this process, legal errors made in a minor court can be resolved or overturned.
Under Pennsylvania law, assault and battery crimes involve physical attacks, offensive physical contact, or threats of attacks. Even fights that appear entirely harmless may ultimately lead to an arrest with the defendant facing serious assault charges.
