The PA Criminal Cases We Defend & The People We Help

We defend freedom and pursue justice for people facing a variety of criminal charges, including:

• DUI – We understand what’s at stake for you and your family. You may fear the loss of your job, your driver’s license, and your freedom. Additionally, we understand that you might feel embarrassment. That’s why we will work with you to make this the last DUI you ever face.
• Theft Offenses – Don’t let a moment of poor judgement or a case of mistaken identity result in a conviction that derails your educational or career plans. Purchase, George & Murphey, P.C. will defend you against allegations of burglary, robbery, forgery, theft, or receiving stolen property.
• Sex Crimes – The mere allegation of a sex offense can ruin your reputation, while a conviction could have sweeping consequences for the rest of your life. We fight to protect you from false or exaggerated accusations. We have successfully defended charges of rape, IDSI, sexual assault, indecent assault, and corruption of minors.
• Violent Crimes – Homicide, manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault, harassment, robbery, trespassing, and other violent crimes are serious offenses in Pennsylvania. We will protect your rights and your freedom — and we will work to get the best results possible for you.
• Drug Offenses – Possession of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other controlled substances, or possessing any of these drugs with the intent to deliver, can cost you your freedom, harm your reputation, and result in collateral consequences like driver’s license suspension, ineligibility for federal student loans, and prohibitions against voting or owning firearms.
