No Matter What the Charges
We realize that a criminal conviction can affect your freedom, your ability to drive, finances, employment and standing in the community. Our experienced attorneys genuinely care about each client, and no one will work harder to beat the charges at trial or to resolve the case with the least possible consequences for you and your family.

As a small firm, we can provide personal attention and accessibility. We are available 24 hours, and respond promptly to phone calls. We take the time to meet with clients to discuss their situations and circumstances of their arrest.

We can handle all misdemeanor and felony criminal charges:

• DUI and alcohol offenses
• Drug charges (possession, distribution)
• Traffic violations (speeding, reckless driving, suspended license)
• Shoplifting, burglary and other property crimes
• Assault, murder and other violent crimes
• White collar crimes (fraud, embezzlement)
• Juvenile offenses

The Law Offices of Anthony Urban, P.C. examines each case for grounds to fight the charges in court. We will review the facts of your case and give you frank advice about going to trial or pleading to lesser charges. In some felony cases, the penalties are so severe and the options of plea bargain so limited that a trial is the best option.

Drunk Driving
Pennsylvania's DUI laws have only gotten stiffer in recent years. Our board-certified criminal defense attorney can navigate through the system to get less harsh treatment. First offenders may be able to keep their driver's license and qualify for ARD (Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition). If the person pays the assessments and stays clean during probation, the charges are dismissed with no criminal record. A conviction for DUI or refusal to consent to testing, on the other hand, will result in loss of license for one year and other severe penalties.
