Mandatory Sentencing

Lancaster County Mandatory Minimum Sentence Attorney

The Pennsylvania legislature has taken a significant amount of decision making from the courts through mandatory minimum sentence statutes. Whether a Pennsylvanian is convicted of a gun charge, a drug charge, DUI (driving under the influence), crimes against elderly or minors, or other criminal offenses, many such convictions carry mandatory minimum sentences. Aggressive criminal defense is critical for people accused of crimes that may lead to mandatory minimum sentences.

To schedule a consultation regarding an arrest for a drug charge in a school zone or any other serious crime, contact Timoney Knox. Pennsylvania attorney Mark Walmer, former public defender and prosecutor, is well versed in the minimum mandatory sentences that courts must apply when those sentences are invoked by the district attorney.

Every client of Walmer Law Offices is entitled to an aggressive defense. Our American legal justice system presumes innocence until a person is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by legally admissible evidence. In the event that a client is found guilty, and all evidence is found to be admissible, Walmer Law Offices works to ensure that any punishment meted out is not unduly harsh or excessive.

Attorney Walmer may present compelling arguments that a particular offense falls under a different category than the charges indicate -- which may enable a defendant to avoid unduly harsh penalties prescribed by minimum mandatory sentences.

Timoney Knox, LLP Link is committed to strong, principled defense of every client of the law firm who faces the threat of minimum mandatory sentences as a result of a gun charge, homicide charge, drug offense arrest, or other felony.
