Criminal Defense

A felony conviction can send someone to jail pr prison for a significant period of time.

DUI’s

Many people believe that DUIs are open and shut cases. This is far from the truth. In many instances, the police may not have followed proper procedure when conducting the traffic stop or their investigation. Additionally, certain procedures must be done properly when the police are taking breath or blood samples. At Joe Pometto law we will analyze the procedures used by the police to find an angle to fight the case. Performing such an analysis is crucial in DUI’s. A DUI can result in the suspension of your driver’s license, thousands of dollars in fines and even jail time. The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure. At Joe Pometto Law, we will use the Fourth Amendment as your shield to defend a DUI charge. GO FOR JOE – Contact your friendly, neighborhood lawyers at Joe Pometto Law for your legal needs.

Personal Injury

Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania are being overrun with law firms from big cities. All kinds of national law firms are advertising to injury clients in our area. Don’t be fooled. These firms are large, but they will not provide you with the personal service you need in an injury case. If you have been involved in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, slip and fall or otherwise, you need lawyers who will answer your calls and return your messages. More importantly, you need lawyers with the experience and tenacity to fight for you as individuals instead of as another number on a state sheet. Our firm will take a slip and fall case to trial, and we will litigate a car accident as aggressively as possible. Don’t go to a large firm. Hire a firm that will put people first and represent you at every turn. GO FOR JOE – Contact Joe Pometto Law for a consultation.
