Why Every Good Defense Lawyer Needs a Private Investigator
In criminal defense, a lawyer is only as good as the facts they can prove. No matter how skilled an attorney is in the courtroom, they can't build a solid defense without solid evidence. This is why every good defense lawyer needs a private investigator (PI) on their team.
Common Pennsylvania Criminal Charges Explained
Navigating the criminal justice system can be overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the charges you or someone you care about may be facing. Pennsylvania has its own set of laws that define crimes and penalties, and understanding these charges is the first step in addressing them. Below, we break down some of the most common criminal charges in Pennsylvania and what they entail.
The Dual Sovereignty Doctrine or how you can be tried for the same offense twice.
The United States legal system is built on the foundation of federalism, which establishes a balance of power between the federal government and the individual states. One principle that exemplifies this balance is the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine. This doctrine, though sometimes controversial, plays a critical role in the prosecution of crimes and the protection of justice across the country. In this blog, we will explore the origins, implications, and criticisms of the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine.
