Criminal Defense

Ohio & Pennsylvania Criminal Defense Lawyers

Betras, Kopp, & Harshman, LLC’s criminal defense attorneys have a strong record of success defending clients against criminal charges in both county court and federal court.

Any type of criminal charge is the most serious event in most people’s lives — it doesn’t matter if it’s a misdemeanor speeding ticket or a felony RICO charge. If you or a family member is facing a criminal charge, you should treat it very seriously. Even certain misdemeanors or minor offenses can result in jail time and hefty fines. What’s more, the negative consequences of a criminal conviction can last long into the future.

Treat your criminal case with the respect it deserves by hiring a criminal defense attorney from Betras, Kopp, & Harshman, LLC.

Aggressive Investigation of Your Case

As soon as you hire us as your criminal defense attorneys, you will see how it makes a difference to choose a criminal defense law firm with such extensive resources.

Our firm employs on-staff investigators, most of whom are former law enforcement officers and one of whom is a former local chief of police. Your legal team will investigate every aspect of the investigation and arrest that led to the charges against you — looking for police error, other suspects, and constitutional violations.

Participate Actively in Your Own Defense

We work diligently to get the charges dropped, negotiate a favorable plea bargain or defend your innocence at trial if necessary. Your legal team will keep you informed of progress in your case and will give you all the information you need to participate actively in your own defense.

All our criminal defense clients get cell phone numbers for their defense attorney — ensuring 24-hour access in case of emergency.

If you are under investigation or have already been arrested, the most important advice we can give you is to say nothing to the police except basic identifying information and, “I would like to talk to my lawyer.”
