Criminal Defense Information

The criminal justice system can be confusing and overwhelming. For guidance about criminal procedures and help building a defense, contact a skilled and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney.

Learn About Your Rights After an Arrest

One of the functions of a criminal defense attorney is to educate clients about their risk of punishment, their options for resolving the case, and their rights as a defendant. Once you understand how this information affects your situation, you're in a good position to make the critical decision that most defendants must make — to accept a plea offer or take your defense to trial. Contact the McClenahen Law Firm in State College for a free consultation with a lawyer who can help you make that decision wisely.
