Don’t Give Up: We Can Seek Post-Conviction Relief
- ARD and expungements: We help qualified individuals enroll in the accelerated rehabilitative disposition (ARD) program and seek expungements to clear their criminal records.
- Criminal appeals: If an error was made during the original trial proceedings, we can help our clients appeal to a higher court.
We Treat You With Respect And Understanding
Just because you’ve been accused of a crime, you are not automatically guilty. You are innocent unless proven otherwise. Whatever the circumstances, you still deserve to be treated with empathy and respect. You can count on our lawyers to do just that. If you were in trouble in the past and you are now facing a parole or probation revocation, we can assist you.
“I enjoy practicing criminal law because I like helping people with their problems. I’m just a regular guy representing other regular people. We all encounter tough times, and I’m here to help you make it through to the other side.” — Attorney Marc A. Decker
