Question:  Facing child cruelty and reckless conduct charges because moved gun from arm rest to glove compartment and school faculty member says pointed it at her...turn myself in tomorrow what am i facing?

Answer: Story sounds strange. Why would school staff report the transfer of the gun from the arm rest to the glove box, and accuse you of pointing the gun at her if you were acting like a mature person having a pleasant conversation. Oh...wait a minute..you were arguing and threatening, and then moved the gun from the armrest to the glove box in an effort to intimidate her. If that is the case, your attitude, demeanor and behavior before you ever touched any weapon will dictate your punishment. Because I don't know the accusation and I don't know your criminal history, I cannot guess what the prosecutor will recommend, or what the judge will do.

About Me

I hung a shingle in February 2000, because I saw that individuals charged with criminal offenses were being underserved by the attorneys practicing criminal law. Since February 2000, I have represented more than two thousand criminal clients. I only practice criminal law, but I do everything from violations of probation to Supreme Court appeals. There are few attorneys under the age of sixty that have my level of experience. I have tried more than two hundred major felony jury trials. I have tried more than fifty misdemeanor jury trials. In Philadelphia as a prosecutor, I tried more than two thousand bench trials. I have conducted more than three thousand preliminary hearings and bond hearings. Yet, I still have the energy at forty-five to serve my current clients. There is nothing that will occur in a courtroom that I have not experienced before. When you are looking for an attorney, experience is everything.
