Assault and Domestic Violence

Domestic battery is a serious charge that many people don't really understand. It's now up to the State—they will prosecute regardless of your spouse’s wishes. Conviction for domestic abuse can have many unexpected consequences. We defend people facing charges of:
* family assault
* domestic violence
* violation of a protective order
* injury to a child
* child endangerment or abandonment
* injury to the elderly
* spousal battery

DWI/DUI Drunk Driving

Too often people pulled over for drunk driving think they have no defense, so they plead guilty. This is a serious mistake. There may be DWI defense strategies we can use to challenge the field test or breath test. Don't risk license suspension or revocation. Contact a DWI defense lawyer at Stradley, Chernoff & Alford if you are charged with:
* driving while intoxicated (DWI)
* driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs
* driving on a suspended license

Sex Offenses

All sex crime charges are extremely serious. Conviction carries the threat of mandatory lifetime registration as a sex offender. Get immediate and strong defense, particularly if accusations are being made by a child. If Children’s Protective Service has become involved, do not make any statements without legal defense. Your Stradley, Chernoff & Alford attorney will be by your side during any police investigation.
