Pennsylvania Representation FAQs
Do you handle criminal cases outside of Philadelphia?
Yes. Alva & Moscow represents clients across southeastern Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Berks, and Lancaster Counties - as well as in New Jersey. Criminal defense is county-specific work, and knowing each courthouse's judges, prosecutors, and diversionary programs is part of what we bring to a case.
Does it matter which county my case is in?
Substantially. Each District Attorney sets its own policies on ARD eligibility, plea offers, and diversion, and practices differ on bail, preliminary hearings, and scheduling. The same charge can resolve very differently in Philadelphia than in Chester County, which is why county experience is a real part of case strategy.
Do I need a lawyer from my own county?
You need a lawyer who regularly practices in that county's courthouse, wherever their office sits. Our attorneys appear throughout the Philadelphia region, and our Bala Cynwyd and West Chester offices position us within reach of every county courthouse in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Can you represent me in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey?
Yes, our attorneys handle matters on both sides of the river, which matters for the many clients who live in one state and were charged in the other. Cross-state cases raise added issues - license consequences transferring home, interstate compact reporting, and appearance logistics - that we manage as part of the representation.
