Our Criminal Law Practice

Criminal charges in Pennsylvania and New Jersey carry the potential for harsh penalties, including incarceration and fines. In these turbulent times, an experienced criminal defense attorney can protect your interests, and defend your rights in negotiations with the prosecution or at trial.

At Hark & Hark, we handle criminal charges such as:

  • DUI/DWI : Our drunk driving defense lawyers have handled over 1000 DUI cases. They know how to prove the inaccuracy of breath and field sobriety tests. They are also skilled at handling multiple DUI offenses. Crucial to success in your defense is our attorneys understanding of when and why police may legally stop a vehicle as this information may lead to suppression of blood alcohol evidence prior to trial.
  • Sex crimes : We defend people who are under investigation for, or who have already been charged with rape, sexual assault, child rape and all lesser included offenses. An important and overlooked component to these cases is the potential for ten years to a lifetime of Megan's Law registration that is associated with convictions or guilty pleas in this area. Attorneys at Hark & Hark are experienced at navigating these issues to minimize any short or long term impact being charged with a sex crime may have on the accused’s life. In addition to handling allegations of sexual assault or abuse, we specialize in defending against charges for failure to register as a convicted sex offender and many other Megan's Law probation violations.
  • Internet sex crimes : We provide a strong defense against these serious charges, including Internet solicitation and possession of Internet child pornography. Rest assured, we will attack the government's evidence and any improper investigative techniques, including entrapment and any improperly obtained or executed search warrants.
  • Drug and gun crimes : Our staff of experienced trial attorneys includes former prosecutors who have been exposed to the full range of drug cases, including drug possession, possession with intent to deliver, conspiracy to sell drugs, and all types of drug-related and intertwined gun and drug-related offenses, such as possession of a gun by a felon or while committing a drug crime.
  • Homicide/assault : Murder and assault charges are serious and can put you at risk for years or a lifetime in prison. Make sure you speak with a trial lawyer with extensive criminal trial experience who will fight for your rights.
  • Domestic violence : When abusive home situations get out of control, we can help. We defend people against Abuse/Stay Away Petitions, sexual assault charges, violations of Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders, and other domestic abuse/violence charges.
  • White collar crimes : Our criminal trial experience includes both state and federal charges of embezzlement, fraud, and Medicare/Medicaid fraud. A certified fraud examiner on staff gives us an edge over other law firms fighting white collar crime cases.
  • Federal crimes : Federal crimes carry serious consequences. We represent clients facing federal gun charges, federal drug charges, Internet child pornography charges and federal white collar criminal charges.

Please note, if this is your first criminal offense, you may qualify for the ARD option.
