Being charged with a Criminal offense in Pennsylvania is very serious, scary, and costly. Depending on your situation, number of past offenses, and the facts of your case, a criminal offender could be facing; time in prison, significant fines, probation, and limited future job prospects due to a permanent criminal record.
Below is a sequential description of the PA Criminal Process and the steps an individual charged with a criminal offense will take. This is a broad overview provided for educational purposes only. This is not designed to be all inclusive. For an in depth explanation of the below process and your criminal charges, do not hesitate in contacting Banks Law Group at 844-815-9632.
In Pennsylvania, the criminal process is managed by each county independently. As such, the process can differ slightly even though the laws are the same.

I had 4 charges back in 2017 with very little evidence against me I hired these guys after getting their flyer in the mail and finding out I had charges Eric started out my case and seemed competent but then we went to real court and some other guy showed up saying there was nothing he could do and to take the deal which was plead guilty to it all I thought maybe 1 or 2 would be dropped for a plea on the others but nope got hit with all 4 I should of fired him but I wanted it to be over so when the judge asked if I was satisfied with my representation I reluctantly said ya. I still owed them money

Terrible. We used Matt Banks for temporary guardianship. When I reached out to him about adoption he stated he had to “do research” Months later no call back. So I’ve reached out to him numerous times in the last month so we can get birth certificate and go forward with adoption and STILL waiting on him to do his research. Last time he spoke with me he said I have an attitude. I would NEVER recommend.

I greatly appreciate everything they have done to help me get through this terrible time in my life. I went through so much during my divorce that was completely unnecessary with my ex husband and they were able to work everything out so smoothly. I had to deal with criminal charges that could have resulted in 6 months of jail time and was reduced to 6 months on ARD (unsupervised adult probation program) and a PFA that could have lasted up to 3 years. They were able to reduce my time to only 9 months for my PFA. During the beginning of my case, I was forced out of my house due to my ex refusing

My experience with the banks law group was NOT a good one. When I first called for a consultation i spoke with a man who was more of a sales person than an attorney. He convinced me I had a good chance for dismissal. I never met this attorney even though he was the one handling my case, instead I dealt with two other "attorneys". As time went on the attorneys got much more vague with their answers to my questions and a lot less confident. It should be noted that the circumstances of my case had never changed but yet the confidence and attitude of the attorneys made a 180 as we moved forward. Finally
