Pennsylvania Summary Hearing

Facing a summary hearing may seem like petty politics or a mistake by state and/or local police agencies. But the charges of a citation are very real – as are their fines. Choosing to ignore your citation can lead to an arrest and a 90-day jail term. If you have received a summary offense notice, call my firm today!

Unlike criminal charges, a summary hearing is a legal proceeding that does not entitle offenders to the representation of a public defender. This is because these offenses are typically far less costly to their victims and far less violent or threatening than criminal actions.

If you are facing a summary hearing before the district magistrate, call my office for a free consultation relating to the citation and the charges that law enforcement officials are leveling against you. In certain instances, you may feel as though you have been targeted and hassled by police agencies for no just cause. In other instances, you may feel as though the circumstantial evidence or chain of events that led to your citation were misinterpreted by law enforcement officers and, ultimately, led to an unjust assumption that you did something wrong, when you did not.

Call my office today, if you are facing a summary hearing based upon any of the following charges:

None of us wants to believe that we cannot fully trust and rely upon the words of our law enforcement officials. This isn’t to suggest that every summary charge is a result of dishonesty on the part of law enforcement agencies. However, time and again, we see that they make mistakes.

If you suspect that your citation and summary hearing are based upon phony, unjust or corrupt charges, call my office today. You are not entitled to a public defender in such cases, but you are entitled to legal counsel. Call, drop by or fill out my convenient online form to schedule your free consultation today!
