Harrisburg, PA Criminal Defense Areas of Practice
If you have been arrested for a crime, you deserve a defense attorney who will fight aggressively to protect your rights. At Crisp and Associates, LLC, we are not afraid to go to trial in pursuit of the best possible outcome. From the moment you retain our firm, we begin a thorough investigation into your case to determine whether law enforcement violated your rights at any stage—before, during, or after arrest.
Our team conducts comprehensive interviews with witnesses, reviews police statements, examines forensic evidence, and challenges procedural errors. With over 60 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys are proud to deliver client-focused, results-driven representation throughout Pennsylvania.
Felony charges are among the most serious legal matters you can face. Convictions often carry lengthy prison sentences, heavy fines, and life-altering consequences. Whether you’re charged with assault, robbery, weapons offenses, or a white-collar crime, working with a trial-tested criminal defense attorney can make the difference between incarceration and freedom.
Theft, Sex, and Violent Crimes…
In Pennsylvania, even a misdemeanor can result in up to five years of incarceration. Many offenses—especially theft—can be upgraded to felonies depending on the value of property involved or the circumstances of the crime. Convictions may also result in the loss of employment, denial of professional licenses, or restricted housing opportunities. Our firm defends clients against charges including theft, fraud, sex crimes, assault, and domestic violence.
Both state and federal laws impose severe penalties for drug-related offenses, including possession, trafficking, and distribution. A conviction can result in prison time, fines, restitution, and mandatory treatment. Suppose you are charged with drug possession or accused of intent to distribute. In that case, it's critical to work with an attorney who understands how to challenge search procedures, test results, and prosecutorial overreach.
Marijuana Possession, Possession of Controlled Substances, Drug Sale…
Pennsylvania has strict penalties for driving under the influence. Even a first-time offense can result in jail time, license suspension, fines, mandatory classes, and installation of an ignition interlock device. Subsequent offenses carry increasingly harsh consequences. However, with skilled legal counsel, it may be possible to avoid incarceration or minimize the long-term effects of a DUI conviction.
Federal charges are typically investigated by agencies like the FBI, DEA, IRS, or DHS and prosecuted in federal court, where sentencing guidelines are often more severe. Even a federal investigation can cause significant stress and uncertainty. If you're facing a federal indictment or believe you're under investigation, our team can guide you through the process and help protect your future.
Accusations of sexual assault, harassment, or other misconduct on college campuses can have immediate and long-term academic and legal consequences. Title IX investigations can impact your ability to remain enrolled, transfer schools, or pursue future educational programs. We help students navigate university disciplinary hearings while protecting their constitutional rights and future opportunities.
Violating probation—whether for missing a meeting, failing a drug test, or committing a new offense—can lead to additional jail time, even if your original conviction was minor. Our firm has extensive experience defending against allegations of probation violation and can explore legal options to help you remain out of custody and in compliance.
