We Handle the Full Range of Cases

Our team handles a wide range of complex legal matters with skill and dedication.

  • Criminal Defense: From misdemeanors to serious felonies, we defend clients accused of DUI, drug crimes, internet offenses, juvenile matters, sex crimes, theft, traffic violations, white collar crimes, and more. Our local expertise means we understand Lancaster-area courts and can fight for dismissals, reduced charges, or acquittals.

Our attorneys guide clients through eligibility for diversion, aiming to secure treatment over punishment and help resolve cases compassionately and effectively.
  • Personal Injury: If you’ve been injured in a negligent accident, such as a car crash, slip and fall, or other incident, we pursue maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. We handle these cases on a no-recovery, no-fee basis, fighting insurance companies aggressively to get you the recovery you deserve.
  • Civil Rights: We stand up against violations, including excessive force by law enforcement, unlawful searches, discrimination, privacy invasions, and other infringements on your constitutional rights. Our team has secured significant settlements in civil rights cases and works tirelessly to hold responsible parties accountable.
