Cases We Handle

Experienced & Dedicated Trial Lawyer in Pennsylvania

A criminal defense attorney represents individuals or organizations charged with misdemeanor or felony crimes. The role of this legal professional is to defend their client against the accusations made by the prosecution and to ensure that their client's rights are protected throughout the legal process.

An attorney will represent their client in court, presenting evidence and arguments, we fight to show the defendant’s innocence. In some cases, the lawyer may be able to negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce charges or penalties. 

Our firm can provide you with the advocacy you need at any stage of the criminal process. From initial investigation to arrest and the formal filing of charges, we are here to help you safely navigate the system. The earlier you bring us into your case, the sooner we can get to work on understanding all the related factors and circumstances. 

Attorney Bernie Brown takes on every criminal case as if it will be going to trial unless you decide against it. This policy means that your charges will be thoroughly and independently investigated. Any law enforcement errors or defects or flaws in the evidence found against you will be uncovered and exposed to challenge the prosecution. 

Especially in federal cases, where investigations by federal agencies, such as the FBI, DEA, ATF, and others are extensive, you will benefit from the trial skills and experience of Attorney Brown. When going up against federal prosecutors who are backed by the full resources of the federal government, putting an equally aggressive and diligent defender on your side is essential.

Whether you are facing a state misdemeanor or a federal felony, whether your case involves an alleged violent crime, such as homicide or a nonviolent white-collar offense, your future and freedom may be at stake. You could be facing jail or prison time, hefty fines, lengthy probation, and other court penalties. 

Collateral consequences can extend from the loss of your reputation, your job or career, or your professional license, to a future hampered by a permanent criminal record.
