We Handle Direct File Crimes
In some serious cases, a minor can be charged and tried as an adult at the discretion of the prosecutor. These are called "direct file" crimes.
These types of cases require representation from a lawyer who understands both the juvenile court system and the adult court system. We have that knowledge. We have gotten cases as serious as carjacking transferred from adult court to juvenile court.
We Fight for You!
We know that going to court is something that is often best avoided. However, we also know that sometimes the prosecution is simply not willing to play fair without a fight.
We have stood beside minors in both juvenile court and adult court. You can be confident that, if a case requires a fight, we know exactly what to do.
We're Here When You Need Us
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help people in Philadelphia and throughout Pennsylvania.
