Assaults

An assault charge in Philadelphia, Bucks County and Montgomery County in Pennsylvania can have very serious consequences, including jail time. Pennsylvania assault laws are complicated and any error in how you defend yourself could land you in jail or lead to other serious penalties and punishment.

Types of Assault Charges

Often people are charged with assault after getting in a fight. In many instances, the other person files the assault charge, regardless of who may have thrown the first punch. Any punch or brawl, or just threatening someone with physical harm can lead to an assault charge. If someone files assault charges against you, and you are arrested, you will require an attorney to help explain what happened, and why the charges should be dropped.

I'm a first time DUI offender. Mr. Parlow was outstanding. He was very caring during my time of need. Not only did he get me into ARD, but he also was able to get my BAC reduced from .159 to .099 to avoid a 30 day suspension of my license. This was very critical for me. I am able to get my wife to her appointments without uber or lyft. Also I'm able to continue my duties where i am employed. Excellent job Michael!

Fighter and Problem Solver

Paul was excellent and looked at the whole case from every angle. He was able to get outrageous charges lowered to next to nothing and fines thrown out. He feels for you on your case like it’s himself getting put through the ringer. Very personable and down to earth. Definitely the man you want fighting for you and with you.

Teenage Son Got into Some Trouble

This past fall, my son got into some trouble with the police while "hanging out" with a group of his peers. I called Paul on a weekend and he replied with a phone call immediately on a Saturday morning. Paul warned me that my son could be facing a felony charge! Paul brought us in and spent a lot of time interviewing me and my son - at no cost. Paul is a serious and honest attorney who really seems to thrive in situations where he can use his expertise in Bucks county to help young people realize the best outcome possible.
