Our firm was founded by attorney David C. McKenzie III. McKenzie only works in the realm of criminal defense law, meaning he’s familiar with the guidelines that make up Pennsylvania’s criminal code.

Evidence is crucial to criminal defense cases, as it is the foundation for a legal team to build an argument. If you don’t gather thorough evidence, you may be unable to dismiss your charges or lessen your sentencing.
Building your case is a part of the services we provide. We can gather relevant evidence, which may include:

This way, we could leverage a plea deal to reduce your sentencing. If you have questions or concerns about plea deals, our team can address them during an initial consultation.

Just because you’ve been charged with a gun crime doesn’t mean that you’ll go to jail or prison. A charge simply indicates that a district attorney believes they have enough evidence to argue for your conviction, but you still have the right to a fair trial.
If you’ve been charged, a gun crime lawyer from our firm could reduce your sentencing through a plea deal or outright dismiss your charges by:
Similarly, gun crime charges have differing degrees of severity. For example, if you’re convicted of carrying a concealed firearm but have no previous criminal charges, you may only face a first-degree misdemeanor.
