Pittsburgh Criminal Attorney Law Services
Although minor criminal charges are usually less severe than other criminal offenses, it’s still a difficult situation to deal with for yourself or your loved one. However, we can assist you through this stressful situation with legal consultation and guidance on the next steps you should take. We’re criminal attorneys who are familiar with this type of process, thanks to Rebecca’s first-hand experience in dealing with these matters due to her time as a prior assistant district attorney in Allegheny County.
Common Minor Criminal Offenses
Minor offenses usually include petty crimes, misdemeanors or any violation that results in a fine or less than one year of imprisonment. Examples of this type of crime can include:
- Drunk driving
- Minor drug offenses, i.e., possession
- Simple assault
- Resisting arrest
- Theft
- Disorderly conduct
- Trespassing
- Vandalism
- Forgery
How Misdemeanors are Charged in PA
Misdemeanor charges depend on the current PA statutes. The charges are determined based on the type and nature of the crime. There are four categories: first-degree, second-degree, third-degree, and ungraded misdemeanors.
It’s important to remember that an arrest is not a conviction.

Rebecca's expertise and insight were evident after discussion on the phone before I even met with her. Once meeting these skills were apparent These traits were on display in her follow up questions and in answers to my questions. Her explanations and analogies show understanding coupled with legal knowledge and explanation of policy. Her abilities were apparent during and after completion of the Estate Planning Process. Her prices are reasonable for high quality work, time spent with the client, and personalize attention.
I am so pleased with the total Estate Planning Package, that I have begun a needed Real Estate Agreement with Rebecca.
I think that Rebecca is very knowledgeable, about law and policy, helpful, creative, and empathetic, and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her highly without any reservation.
( I met Rebecca for the first time after Thanksgiving of 2021. I needed some accommodations. Both Rebecca and Brian were welcoming and eager to modify the situation to met my requests and needs. I thank them deeply for the concern and accommodations, attention and quality legal documents, completed and in process.)
Gratefully,
Meryl Gotlieb
