At Ciccarelli Law Offices, we recognize the severity of the legal system in Pennsylvania. Often our clients are taken by surprise by how an arrest, a criminal charge or even a citation can impact their life. As punishment consistently gets tougher and tougher, more criminal offenses that may include mandatory penalties including mandatory jail time, mandatory loss of driver’s license privileges and a permanent record. May people are surprised to learn after they accept a plea of guilty to a misdemeanor or felony that they have a permanent record and that they are not eligible for expungement until age 70. A permanent record is often the difference between obtaining and maintaining employment and facing unemployment. You could lose your job after a narcotics conviction.

A DUI/DWI or narcotics conviction can result in the loss of your Pennsylvania driver’s license privileges, inability to maintain insurance coverage and or jail time. You could be facing a long-term prison sentence for a white-collar crime. Even a relatively “minor” citation for underage drinking or public drunkenness or retail theft can result in a permanent record that will remain to embarrass or obstruct your future. Do not make the mistake of leaving your case in the hand of a general practice lawyer just because you assume that your citation or charge is not serious. With so much at stake, why put your case in the hands of an inexperienced attorney? Get an initial consultation from experienced attorneys before it is too late to determine what your rights are and what penalties and consequences you may be facing. Contact us at .
