Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cases do criminal defense lawyers handle in Pittsburgh?
They handle cases from DUI and drug offenses to theft, assault, and white collar crimes. Pennsylvania law has separate penalties for summary offenses, misdemeanors, and felonies. Your lawyer will explain how the charges apply to your situation.
How long do I have to hire a lawyer after an arrest in Pennsylvania?
You should hire a lawyer as soon as possible, ideally before your first court appearance. In Pennsylvania, a preliminary arraignment usually occurs within 48 hours of arrest. Early legal help can affect bail conditions and case strategy.
What is the difference between a public defender and a private criminal defense lawyer?
A public defender is a government lawyer provided at no cost if you cannot afford one. A private lawyer you hire directly may offer more time and personalized attention. Both must meet Pennsylvania bar standards and ethical rules.
