Frequently asked questions
For a Pennsylvania criminal consultation, do I need to tell the lawyer which city?
Yes. Give the actual location, especially the county, the court name and the docket number. "A Pennsylvania case" alone is usually not enough to identify the court or the papers that need checking next.
I received two Pennsylvania documents with different docket numbers. Should I only send the newest one?
Keep both and tell us when you received each one; do not throw the older one away. They may involve different courts, matters or stages, and the lawyer needs to see how they relate.
If I found the case record online, do I still need the paper notice?
Yes. Online records help, but they do not replace the notices, orders and attachments you received. Tell us which papers you actually received and when.
Can the New York criminal procedure explained online be applied to my Pennsylvania state case?
No. The case must be checked against the actual Pennsylvania court, charge and procedure. Courtroom experience in another state or in federal court does not mean admission to a particular Pennsylvania court.
