Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Attorney
Michael Skinner is a criminal defense attorney dedicated to defending the rights of men, women, and minors who face misdemeanor or felony charges. As a former Assistant District Attorney, Michael has gained a rounded perspective of the criminal justice field, from arrest procedure to investigation and sentencing. This knowledge has proven invaluable everyday as Michael Skinner defends his clients.
The Skinner Law Firm provides representation for a wide variety of criminal misdemeanor, felony, and related administrative matters. This commonly includes serious traffic violations, most especially driving under the influence (DUI). DUI is a situation that many people do not expect to find themselves facing. As such, Michael Skinner represents many first time DUI offenders, helping them find favorable options such as case dismissal and not guilty verdicts.
Michael Skinner is also experienced with criminal cases that often come with highly charged elements. This applies especially to domestic violence situations. If, for example, law enforcement officers are called into the scene of suspected domestic violence, they are trained to identify a victim and aggressor. This snap judgment may unfortunately lead to a person mistakenly being taken to jail on false or exaggerated charges.
If you are facing any criminal defense charge, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, it is important to consider your legal options. Remember, if convicted, your criminal offense may appear on background checks. It may even have an impact on certain licenses, employment, housing, or result in college disciplinary action.
