What Information do you need for a Free Consultation?

My office receives numerous calls per day seeking a Free Consultation for their criminal case, personal injury case or Medical Malpractice case.  Most are speaking with an Attorney for the very first time and really don’t know how the process works, what questions to ask or what information the Attorney needs to make an informed decision of whether to accept your case.

When I speak with clients for the first time, I attempt to diagnose the potential problem in an effort to determine the issues.  Here are some of the many questions I will ask when callers contact my office for representation:

When did the incident occur?

What are the names of the individuals involved in the incident?

What paperwork do you have from the incident?

Have you been contacted by anyone concerning this incident?

Have you signed anything pertaining to this incident?

Did you speak with anyone regarding the incident?

Do you have a Claim/OTN/CC/CR/Reference number?

The answers to these questions usually lead to additional questions and information, but I have found that clients who are initially prepared to answer these questions before picking up the phone get more from their consultation since the time is spent answering questions and explaining as opposed to searching for paperwork and information.

Child-Luring Suspects Get Lower Bail, With Strict Conditions

RANKIN, Pa. — THE PITTSBURGH CHANNEL.com

Two men who are charged in what Allegheny County police call a case of child-luring got their bail amounts lowered Wednesday, as a district judge placed restrictions on both of them while they wait for a trial date.

"I didn't have any intention of harming anyone, or anything like that, at all," Shane Dockstader said after his preliminary hearing. Co-defendant Timothy Rodgers did not comment.

District Judge Ross Cioppa agreed to reduce bail from $100,000 to $10,000 for each man. He ordered them to report to a bail bond office each week in person, and have no contact with the children, while also refraining from drug and alcohol use, and they are not allowed to be in the areas of Braddock, Braddock Hills, Rankin, Edgewood or Swissvale.

"The main thing that everyone should understand is that the family agreed -- there were no objections from the family -- and the judge put some very strenuous conditions on their bond," defense attorney Frank Walker said.

Click Here to Read More...

...These cases are inherently difficult, especially when considering the public outcry from the outset of the case. But here is the bottom line: Being charged with a Sex crime is no different than being charged with a DUI, Murder, Kidnapping, a Summary Offense or Aggravated Assault - You are innocent until proven guilty.


No matter what the charge, the Commonwealth is still required to prove every single element of every single charge beyond a reasonable doubt.

Web communications and social media in law firms' toolboxes

Good Article on Social Media and Law Firms in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette

It's been stated that one must never underestimate the power of an idea whose time has come.

Over the past couple of years, it has become increasingly obvious that social media and online marketing is a force to not only be reckoned with, but also harnessed and done so "properly and ethically".

Good to see firms stepping out of their comfort zone and "wading into new media to promote their services . . . to get their names out."

Supreme Court: County can't say where sex offenders can live

By Vivian Nereim, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette


The Pennsylvania Supreme Court today unanimously invalidated an Allegheny County ordinance that had imposed residency restrictions on registered sex offenders, ruling that the ordinance conflicted with state law.


The ordinance, passed in 2007, banned convicted sex offenders registered under Megan's Law from living within 2,500 feet of a child care facility, recreational facility, community center, public park or school.

Six registered sex offenders sued one year later, alleging that the ordinance eliminated nearly all of the addresses in the city of Pittsburgh and much of Allegheny County as possible homes for them. Their lawyer, Donald Driscoll, argued that the restrictions -- forcing offenders to live in outlying communities, away from jobs, transportation, relatives and treatment -- were contrary to the goals of rehabilitation and reintegration.

U.S. District Judge Gary Lancaster struck down the ordinance in 2009, and the county appealed to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, which asked the state Supreme Court to hear the case.

Mr. Driscoll and Assistant County Solicitor Craig Maravich argued the case in October. The Supreme Court released its opinion today, ruling 7-0 that the ordinance was invalid.

"We're disappointed in the result," said County Solicitor Michael Wojcik. "We thought that our argument was sufficient to win the day, but apparently the Supreme Court disagreed with us, and we've got to live with that decision."

At this point, Mr. Wojcik said, the future of the Allegheny County ordinance rests with County Council, which might decide to amend it to bring it in line with today's opinion. The ordinance has not been enforced while the litigation was pending.

Mr. Driscoll said that he was pleased with the ruling, and expected it to affect similar ordinances across the state -- such local restrictions have become common, he said.

Employment Guide: Underage citations could hamper job search

Pittsburgh Attorney Frank Walker, who handles underage cases from students at Pitt, Duquesne, Robert Morris and Carlow, said that a citation can have a detrimental effect on students’ financial futures, as well.

“Students don’t realize the effects it has on their search for job,” he said.

In the law field, Walker said summary offenses such as underage citations could pose a problem when taking the bar exam, which asks test-takers if they’ve been convicted of any crimes.

“You may think in your mind you don’t have to report it — I was a minor,” Walker said. “It will appear to them if you answer ‘no’ that you were somewhat evasive.” - Pitt News
