Our Practice Areas and Lawyers in Bristol, PA
At McKenzie Law Firm, our criminal defense legal team has a long and successful track record of helping the accused. David McKenzie uses his prosecutorial knowledge and experience to give his clients the upper hand during all phases of a criminal trial.
Our team can help, no matter what charges you face. Here are our criminal defense practice areas in Bristol, PA:
DUI Convictions
Pennsylvania takes drunk driving seriously. A DUI conviction can lead to jail time, fines, a driving license suspension, and a criminal record that stays with you forever.
A DUI conviction can also affect your ability to find a job — particularly if the job involves driving.
The McKenzie Law Firm has a number of tools to help you beat your DUI charge. Depending on the circumstances, we may decide to plead a lesser offense, such as reckless driving, or we may enter a not-guilty plea. A Bristol DUI lawyer will then present evidence that creates reasonable doubt as to your guilt.
Drug Crimes Convictions
Pennsylvania also takes drug crimes, such as the sale and possession of illicit substances, seriously. Marijuana is not legal in Pennsylvania as of 2018, and if you get caught with even a small amount, you could face severe penalties. The consequences are even worse for possessing or selling other illicit drugs.
More importantly, Pennsylvania has “intent to deliver” laws. The state may consider you in the same league as drug dealers if you try to transport drugs, even for personal use, across state lines.
Our legal team can help, regardless of the drug charges you are facing. Call us if you are accused of possessing or selling any of the following:
- Marijuana
- Cocaine
- Crack
- Heroin
- Opioids
- Methamphetamine
- LSD
- Psilocybin
- MDMA
- Ecstasy
- Prescription drugs
Federal Crimes Convictions
Federal crimes are those that violate federal statutes. They are tried in federal courts, where the prosecutors tend to be highly experienced and rarely lenient.
If you are facing federal charges, you should consult a Bristol, PA criminal defense lawyer who has prosecutorial experience and the ability to hold his own against other federal prosecutors. That is what David McKenzie and his team at McKenzie Law Firm can offer you.
Federal crimes include:
- Tax evasion
- Bank fraud
- Mail fraud
- Counterfeiting
- Forgery
- Child pornography
Theft Convictions
Theft is defined as the taking of property that does not belong to you. This includes physical property or services such as cable or internet.
Pennsylvania takes theft seriously. You can face severe consequences, even if the value of the property you are accused of stealing is less than $50.
David McKenzie and the McKenzie Law Firm can help you beat these charges and move on with your life.
