Mr. McKenzie was an absolute miracle to have represented me in my case. He was able to negotiate very well with the prosecution as my case was not very open and shut, at least in my eyes. Having him come in with a fresh view of the case and takeover ...

If you have any questions, understand this: You should hire a Montgomery County Criminal Defense Lawyer for your criminal case and hire a lawyer you trust and believe in. There are several reasons to retain an attorney with relevant experience, including:
The high stakes of a criminal conviction:
A conviction and criminal penalties are among the most serious threats that anyone can face. Starting or adding to your criminal record can be a truly life-altering development. For serious charges, such as violent crimes, you may even be facing the loss of your freedom. With such high stakes, you need all the help you can get.
Your own current psychological state:
You may be stressed and worried about your criminal charges, which is completely natural. However, such stress may worsen if you try to handle your own defense. By hiring a lawyer, you can reach a better psychological state. You will have someone on your side to protect your legal rights and possibly reduce your chance of serving prison time.
Your lack of legal training and experience:
Regarding criminal law, experience, and training are critically important. If you’re not a lawyer with relevant experience defending yourself or someone else against criminal charges, you may face several disadvantages during the legal process. Our criminal defense law firm knows how to get charges dismissed, evidence barred from court, and create reasonable doubt in jurors’ minds during a criminal trial.
A trusted criminal defense lawyer is absolutely worth the cost. After all, what price can you put on freedom or your reputation?
From the moment you put us to work, our team will begin exploring your defense options so that we can choose a strategy that puts you in the best possible position. For example, we may be able to:
When you work with us, we will explain precisely what you are up against and devise the most promising action plan for your case. Our team handles many criminal cases, including a long list of crimes commonly committed by first-time offenders. Our criminal defense law firm may be able to offer you alternatives to getting a conviction and having a criminal record.
We never downplay the severity of legal penalties, whether from local courts, the State of Pennsylvania, or the federal government. Between fines and potential imprisonment, you should take a prosecutor’s power to punish you seriously.
However, you should also know that a criminal conviction will have effects beyond the state’s formal sanctions. Even once you’ve paid your fines and completed other sentencing conditions, you may:
We bring your attention to these consequences for one reason: to emphasize the importance of a capable criminal defense. More is at stake than legal sanctions alone, and we want to help minimize the harm of your pending criminal charges. Of course, the severity of these effects could vary based on the type of crime you are alleged to have committed. However, even some non-violent offenses can come with harsh penalties, both from the court system and in your daily life.
Our law firm handles misdemeanor and felony cases in Montgomery County, PA’s state and federal court. Some of the primary types of criminal defense cases we handle include:
This is one of the most common cases we handle. Penalties can range from fines and mandatory alcohol awareness programs to jail time and a required ignition interlock device for your vehicle.
Learn About Your Rights After a DUI
The penalties for drug crimes, such as possession, sale, and trafficking, vary depending on the type and amount of drugs cited in your case.
A theft conviction could mean a forever-tarnished criminal record, not to mention possible jail time, hefty fines, and other consequences.
Being charged with a white-collar crime such as fraud or embezzlement harms your personal and professional reputation and could result in long-term imprisonment and the end of your career.
Some traffic cases threaten more than just your wallet. In addition to fines, a traffic court conviction can mean losing your driving privileges, probation, and imprisonment.
McKenzie Law Firm, P.C., defends clients against other common criminal charges such as sex crimes, burglary, domestic violence, outstanding warrants, and probation violations.
We also handle expungement cases. If your record has a qualifying conviction, we can pursue an expungement that could give you the clean slate you need to move on with your life. If expungement is unavailable, we can also seek limited access status for misdemeanors.
