I got the dreaded Strike 3 Holdings letter from my ISP a month ago. Obviously, freaked out but did my research online trying to find a good attorney who could help me. Spoke to about 4 or 5 of the usual suspects you'll see when you do a google search.

Brad was the ONLY one who facilitated a face to face meeting online over Google Meet. I knew after speaking with him that I wanted him to represent me in this matter. He just seemed very thorough and knowledgeable. A couple of the other attorneys I spoke to had poor responsiveness which is alarming when that happens BEFORE you pay to retain their services. I'm not in the same state as he is but that did not matter.Brad was able to work with the other party and get this issue resolved fairly and quickly.
Thank You!

Brad represented me in a case recently and put me completely at ease throughout the process. My case had been hanging over my head for nearly a year, based on false claims. When Brad reviewed my case with me, he sensed how distressed I was about the situation and went out of his way to completely put me at ease. I had never been part of a legal process before and I'm a generally anxious person. Brad's confidence in his abilities allowed me to remain relaxed and for that I am eternally grateful.

Brad's performance in the trial was swift, calculated, and methodical. In what seemed like just a few minutes, Brad picked apart the claimants case against me, and the judge swiftly ruled in my favor. A year of anxiety gone! Brad is well worth the money spent and I recommend him without reservation.

Homicide By Vehicle While DUI Allegations Are Specific

It is illegal to negligently kill someone with a motor vehicle while driving under the influence (DUI) in Pennsylvania. Our Crimes and Offenses statutes specifically prohibit, define, and penalize this crime under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3735. We point this information out since every matter must meet its legal definition for prosecutors to get a conviction.

Our Philadelphia Homicide By Vehicle DUI defense lawyers will determine if prosecutors can prove that you:

  2. Operated a motor vehicle while intoxicated
