This blog will cover topics about the defense of criminal charges in Pennsylvania from my perspective as a former Pittsburgh Police Officer.  It will also highlight other things such as trends in criminal law in other states, cases of interest in other states and stories of people who have been wrongfully convicted and set free through what are known as “innocence projects.” 

I also want to help people understand how the criminal justice system operates in Pennsylvania.  Many of my clients have never been arrested before and there is not much information online about how the system actually functions. 

I hope that this blog will be of some service to people who have been arrested and are currently facing charges in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County or any of the surrounding counties and to anyone else interested in criminal law in Pennsylvania.
