CRIMINAL LAW PRACTICE
If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, are under investigation in connection with your employment or another matter, or have been incarcerated, it is critical that you seek effective legal counsel to avoid jeopardizing your rights and your freedoms.
Our attorneys have years of experience representing individuals faced with a wide range of criminal charges. Having an attorney behind you who knows the process can be invaluable when facing criminal charges.
At Hoppe & Martin, we work aggressively to develop and present the best possible defense for our clients. As a result of our preparedness and willingness to go to trial when we believe that the Prosecutor does not have a case, or is overreaching, we have been successful in many cases in getting charges reduced or even dropped.
However, we also know that there are times when the best approach is to work out a deal with the most favorable terms possible for our client. In those cases, because of the experience that our attorneys have, they are familiar with which prosecutor has real authority to settle a case, and what kinds of arguments are likely to appeal to that prosecutor – to achieve rapid resolution.
Juvenile Matters
When a juvenile (person under the age of 18) has been arrested, there are additional issues at stake. Not only is there the potential penalty for the crime, but there may be long-term consequences. At Hoppe & Martin, our attorneys have handled numerous juvenile criminal matters and are very familiar with the issues involved.
Our focus is on getting the charges dismissed or withdrawn, if at all possible. However, if that is not possible, we work hard to obtain the best results, so that any long-term impact the charges and penalties will be reduced. Remember, improper handling of a juvenile criminal matter can lead to a permanent criminal record – carried throughout adulthood.
Don’t limit the freedoms and livelihood of your child or loved one – call us today on tel. (610) 444-2001 to learn how to defend and protect the rights of a juvenile facing a criminal issue.
Post Conviction
If you have been convicted our Attorneys are well able to pursue all remedies available to challenge a conviction including filing post-trial motions, appeal and PCRAs.
Expungement
In some instances, you may be eligible to have your criminal record expunged so that there will not be any evidence of your conviction in public records. We would be glad to discuss your situation with you to see if you are eligible for expungement. If so, we can handle the filing of the proper petition and any arguments to the court to obtain an expungement of your arrest, and in some cases, any juvenile adjudications or other similar matters.
