CRIMINAL DEFENSE FAQ

  • What should I do if I am arrested?

    Say nothing to law enforcement personnel that could be incriminating and do not consent to any searches of your home or car. If and when the police ask you, politely state that you are invoking your right to silence until you can consult with a lawyer. If you are placed under arrest, you should not resist even if you are innocent. Your cooperation with law enforcement may go a long way in any plea deal or in court.

  • What is the difference between probation and parole?

    Probation is a type of sentence allowing a convicted person to stay out of jail so long as they abide by certain conditions such as regularly reporting to a probation officer and abstaining from drugs and alcohol. Remaining employed or in school, not changing residences and not committing any crimes can also be requirements. Parole is the supervised release of a formerly incarcerated person into the public. Conditions for both are often similar. A person who violates their probation may be sentenced to serve jail time. The same is true if a person violates their parole.

  • The crime I am charged with is minor. Do I still need a lawyer?

    You should seek legal representation no matter what you are charged with. This is especially true when convictions can have long term consequences, such as a drug conviction which can result in the loss of your ability to receive federally subsidized loans for school. Even "minor" convictions can jeopardize your chances at current or future employment. An attorney may be able to find a way to reduce your charges or have them dropped altogether.

  • The prosecutor has strong evidence against me, can an attorney still help?

    You should always have a criminal defense attorney in Philadelphia at your side. A person trained in the law may be able to find a way to fight your charges or present mitigating factors which would lead to a more favorable outcome or plea agreement such as probation over jail time. Even if you are facing tough circumstances, if police obtained the evidence improperly, it may be considered inadmissible in court. You don't have to go through this time alone; you should hire a defense lawyer to represent you today. The attorneys at Parkinson, Tarpey & Lloyd have been representing people for many years and have gotten them reduced sentences or had their charged dropped.
