ALLENTOWN CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

Criminal cases can move quickly after an arrest, summons or filing of charges. Donohue Law represents clients in Lehigh County and Northampton County, including Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton. The firm handles DUI, drug offenses, theft and shoplifting, assault and other violent-crime allegations, and gun and weapons charges. Representation is focused on the facts, the evidence and the legal issues that can affect the outcome of each individual case.

Before entering private practice, Michael J. Donohue served as both an assistant public defender and an assistant district attorney. That experience is combined with substantial courtroom work, including more than 40 first-chair jury trials and more than 60 bench trials. Each case is evaluated individually, including the prosecution’s evidence, potential evidentiary or constitutional issues, available defenses and the client’s objectives.

After being charged with a crime, preserve documents, messages, photographs, video and other information that may relate to the case. Keep track of court dates and other deadlines, and be cautious about discussing the allegations or posting about the case online. A criminal defense attorney can review the particular charges and evidence and explain the next steps based on the circumstances of the case.
