The attorneys in our Criminal Defense section handle the criminal defense of persons charged with crimes in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We strive to resolve allegations prior to the filing of formal charges. However, if charges are brought against a client, we devote our extensive litigation and trial experience to obtaining a favorable result in court.

Our experience in these matters is significant. It is derived from years of practice at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, handling each aspect of the criminal justice system, and managing cases from arrest to verdict. From the private sector, we have experience representing clients in federal, state, and municipal courts throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Our attorneys have litigated numerous jury trials from misdemeanors to very serious felonies, often involving complex legal issues. Our record is overwhelmingly in favor of the client. Our attorneys are aggressive litigators who are committed to vigorously defending our clients’ rights.

RAWLE & HENDERSON is dedicated to advising and defending clients who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances and providing them with the best defense possible.
