Criminal defense for Erie cases

Erie criminal cases can involve DUI, drug allegations, assault, theft, firearms, domestic violence, traffic offenses, and other misdemeanors or felonies. The charge, evidence, prior record, and procedural history all matter. A defense plan should be based on the actual charging documents and discovery rather than a brief police summary.

How an Erie criminal case may proceed

Depending on the charge and posture, a case may begin in a Magisterial District Court and proceed to the Erie County Court of Common Pleas. The local court publishes current schedules, rules, and criminal-court information. Court dates and filing requirements can change, so check the current notice in your case and confirm any questions with counsel.

Issues a defense review may examine

Depending on the facts, a lawyer may review the stop or search, warrants, statements, identification, witness accounts, recordings, laboratory work, and how evidence was collected and preserved. In a DUI matter, the review may also include the traffic stop, field testing, chemical testing, and any separate driver’s-license consequences. The useful issues vary case by case; no particular result is promised.

After an arrest, citation, or investigation

Keep the citation, charging papers, docket information, and every court or probation notice.
Write down upcoming dates and comply with release conditions and any no-contact order.
Do not discuss case facts online or with potential witnesses.
Do not ignore contact from the court, probation, or an attorney already representing you.
Have counsel review the charge, available evidence, and deadlines that apply to your case.

After fighting a ticket from hell that cost me my job, thousands in debt from having no job and threatening my present career, Sean Logue stepped in and the case was dismissed. It's a huge relief to have his professionalism and know-how in your corner!
