Skilled And Resourceful Defense In Central Pennsylvania

Q. What’s a minor criminal charge?

A. One that someone else is facing.

When you’re the one who’s been arrested, no criminal offense is minor. Even summary offenses like criminal mischief or a first-time DUI can carry heavy consequences if you plead guilty and pay the fine without an attorney’s advice. To learn how you can protect your opportunities for resolving criminal charges – minor and serious alike – on the most favorable terms possible under the facts, contact the McClenahen Law Firm P.C. in State College.
