The court also supervises adult and juvenile probation, domestic relations, and bail.

Criminal Defense
Getting arrested for a criminal offense, or even being suspected of illegal activity, can be a daunting experience. When you’re facing trouble with the law, you’re likely asking yourself several questions, including “will I go to jail,” “am I going to lose my driver’s license,” and more. A lot is on the line when you’re accused of criminal actions, so it’s important to have a lawyer on your side who will fight for you. Michael J. Skinner is an experienced criminal defense attorney who is passionate about protecting clients’ rights and keeping them informed at every step of the justice process.
DUI/DWI
While they seem common, DUI charges in Chester County, PA can negatively impact your career, education, and/or personal life. A conviction for drinking and driving can also result in a driver’s license suspension, jail time, fines, and more.
Traffic Violations
You do not have to just accept a traffic ticket in Pennsylvania. If you simply pay the fine, this is the same as pleading guilty. The traffic ticket will go on your driving record, and driver’s license points could lead to unexpected consequences and increased insurance premiums. It’s always best to at least consult a traffic ticket lawyer about the ticket, your driving record, and any mitigating or aggravating factors that could save you time, money, and inconvenience.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime allegations in Pennsylvania need to be addressed quickly and properly from the beginning. These charges can destroy lives as accusations can be hard to recover from. The penalties include long prison sentences and possible mandatory registration as a sex offender. Do not wait, hoping an accusation will go away or try to explain things yourself. Consult an experienced sex crime defense attorney today.
Fraud
Obtaining money, property, or services by providing false information or some form of misrepresentation or deceit is unlawful. Fraud can be charged under Pennsylvania law, but if your offense crossed state lines or impacted a federal agency, prosecutors are likely to pursue federal charges. You could face charges for mail or wire fraud, credit card or check fraud, bankruptcy, bank, or accounting fraud, health care or insurance fraud, tax fraud, or immigration fraud.
Robbery
Robbery entails committing theft and removing the property from a person by force; causing someone serious bodily injury; threatening harm; threatening a serious felony, or taking money from a financial institution by making demands of an employee. Depending on the facts, a prosecutor may charge you with a first- or second-degree felony.

Drug Crimes
Drug crimes in Pennsylvania are serious and when people are arrested on drug charges, they often don’t know how it will affect their lives. While attitudes towards drug use are shifting in favor of treatment, drug convictions still carry stiff penalties in Pennsylvania with possibly life-long consequences. That’s why it is always best to discuss your situation with an experienced drug crime defense attorney.
