Crime is rare in Dublin, which is part of what makes this township a nice place to live. Law enforcement is not overworked and when a crime occurs, they work hard to find a culprit. Unfortunately, sometimes this desire for justice can lead to overly harsh punishments for and prosecutions of those accused of crimes.
Being arrested in Dublin, even for relatively minor crimes, can have consequences that follow you for the rest of your life if this situation is not taken seriously. That’s why if you’ve been charged with a crime anywhere in Bucks County, you will need an experienced Dublin criminal defense lawyer as your ally—someone who truly understands Pennsylvania law and local Dublin processes and proceedings. A Bucks County attorney who works within the community representing our citizens will be best equipped to minimize the potential consequences.
The Consequences of a Dublin Arrest
Since many people are arrested for relatively minor crimes in Dublin, such as an assault during a bar fight or vandalism, too few residents take such crimes seriously. They assume that the charges will be dropped or that they will be given a slap on the wrist or minor fine. When a harsh sentence is handed down instead, it’s already too late.
In Bucks County, it is not rare for crimes to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. You not only face harsh sentencing, but also the collateral damage to your career and social life. Don’t risk a permanent record without even putting up a fight. Call Michael Fienman with Fienman Defense about your case for a free consultation where you can find out if he may be able to help provide a defense strategy that will result in the best possible outcome for your case.
Drunk Driving in Bucks County
One of the most common charges we defend our clients from in Bucks County is drunk driving. With DUI checkpoints becoming more common here, many people are arrested based on the observations of the officers. While driving while highly intoxicated is extremely dangerous, there are many reasons that a person may fail a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer other than intoxication.
Perhaps you are simply tired, nervous, or affected by some other variable. A Dublin criminal defense lawyer will be able to analyze your case and bring forward such possibilities. Depending on the circumstances of your case, your lawyer may be able to prove that you were not actually impaired, the stop was illegal, or the police report was inaccurate—all reasons that you might be able to avoid a conviction.
