Criminal Defense
There are multiple defenses that a person charged with a theft crime may be able to assert. First, as with any criminal charge, the prosecution must prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Thus, if a Scranton theft crime attorney can show that the Commonwealth has insufficient evidence to prove each element of a crime, a defendant should be found not guilty. Additionally, many theft crimes require the prosecution to prove that the defendant intentionally or knowingly deprived another person of his or her property. Therefore, if the Commonwealth cannot establish that a person possessed the requisite state of mind, it should not be able to obtain a conviction. In some cases, a person may be able to argue that he or she reasonably believed that he or she had the permission of the property owner to take the property.

Fraud
One of the most common white collar crimes is fraud. There are many acts that constitute fraud, and the penalties for a fraud conviction will vary depending on the crime, but they typically include fines and jail time. Securities fraud is one of the most frequently committed white collar crimes. Securities fraud occurs when an investment professional intentionally misrepresents a material fact to a client, with the intent of misleading the client, and this ultimately causes the client to suffer financial harm.

White Collar Crimes
Some crimes do not involve violent acts or forceful taking of property, but instead they may involve the calculated deprivation of funds or property from a person or business. These crimes are known as white collar crimes because they are typically committed by financial professionals or people who work for the government. Although white collar crimes do not cause bodily harm, a conviction of a white collar crime can carry serious penalties. If you are charged with a white collar crime, you should engage a knowledgeable attorney to help you formulate a defense. The capable Scranton white collar crime lawyers at Lenahan & Dempsey, P.C., can assess the facts of your case and develop a strategy to help you strive for the most favorable outcome available. The Prosecution’s Burden in White Collar Crime Cases
Theft
Misdemeanors
Numerous offenses fall under the umbrella of theft crimes in Pennsylvania, ranging from third-degree misdemeanors to first-degree felonies. Generally, the severity of the charge depends on the value of the property that was stolen. One example of a theft crime is theft by unlawful taking. Unlawful taking crimes are divided into crimes in which the defendant takes or exercises control over movable property, such as an electronic device, and crimes involving immovable property, such as a house. The prosecution must show that the defendant had the intent to deprive the owner of the property. Unlawful taking crimes are crimes against a person. They differ from retail theft, which occurs when a person steals property from a business or store.
Embezzlement
Not all theft crimes involve physical taking. The theft crime attorneys at our Scranton firm can help fight charges involving more subtle types of theft as well. For example, theft by deception is a common theft crime that involves depriving a person of property by intentionally creating a false impression, failing to correct a false impression, or withholding information that would change his or her mind regarding a transaction. Collecting money for a charity that does not exist may be charged as theft by deception. Embezzlement is another theft crime that involves deceptive acts. This occurs when a person obtains property under an agreement to dispose of the property in a certain manner but fails to do so, and instead treats the property as if it is his or her own. These are just some examples of the theft crimes in Pennsylvania. Potential Defenses in Theft Crime Cases
Drug Crimes
The opioid epidemic continues to affect our nation, and more people are charged with drug crimes each year. People may be charged with drug crimes not only related to opioids, however, but also related to several other illicit and prescription substances. If you are charged with a drug crime, you should speak with an attorney regarding the strategies that you may be able to use to protect your interests. The Scranton drug crime lawyers at Lenahan & Dempsey, P.C., are skilled at handling the complexities of serious charges, and we will help you strive for the best legal outcome available in your case.

Assault
Assault is one of the most common charges in Pennsylvania. It often arises out of a disagreement or heated exchange. Assault charges range in severity, and sometimes an assault conviction can result in a lengthy prison term. Even facing a seemingly minor assault charge can be a harrowing experience, and it can have negative repercussions throughout all aspects of your life. If you are faced with assault charges, it is in your best interest to consult a knowledgeable attorney regarding your charges and potential defenses. At Lenahan & Dempsey, P.C., our Scranton assault defense lawyers are adept at navigating the Pennsylvania criminal justice system, and we will work diligently to help you seek a favorable outcome. Pennsylvania Assault Charges
Murder
The maximum penalties that a person convicted of a violent crime may face depend on how the crime was charged. A violent crime attorney can advise Scranton residents on the specific penalties that they may face. A person convicted of a first-degree felony may face up to 20 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, while a person convicted of a second-degree felony may face up to 10 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines. A third-degree felony carries a potential penalty of up to seven years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines. Certain crimes that are not characterized carry their own sentences. For example, a conviction of first-degree murder will result in either a sentence of life imprisonment or the death penalty, while second-degree murder will result in life imprisonment. In many instances, there are mandatory minimum penalties that a court must impose, regardless of any mitigating factors. The Justified Use of Force (Self-Defense)

Probation Violation
In many instances in which the Commonwealth convicts a person of a crime, the person may be sentenced to probation or may be released on parole after serving part of a prison sentence. Probation and parole allow people convicted of crimes to work and spend time with loved ones outside prison, subject to certain conditions. People who fail to comply with the conditions of their probation or parole may face significant penalties, however, including imprisonment. If you were recently charged with a parole or probation violation, you should speak with a capable attorney to discuss whether you may be able to avoid incarceration. The Scranton probation violation lawyers at Lenahan & Dempsey, P.C., can assess the facts of your case and explore the arguments that you may be able to set forth in your defense to help you strive for a successful result.

Homicide
Ending the life of another person may result in criminal charges for murder or manslaughter.

If you have been charged with murder or a related crime, it is vital to retain a seasoned attorney to represent you. The Scranton homicide defense lawyers at Lenahan & Dempsey, P.C., are devoted to helping people accused of committing serious crimes protect their rights, and they will develop persuasive arguments to help you seek a positive result under the circumstances. Elements of a Homicide Crime and Potential Defenses

Forgery
Forgery is another common white collar crime. Under Pennsylvania law, a person commits forgery if he or she modifies someone else’s writing without authority to do so, or executes any writing so that it appears to be the writing of another person, with the intent of defrauding someone. For example, if a person signs another person’s name to a blank check, without permission, it may constitute forgery. These charges are often complex, and a defendant will benefit from the representation of a Scranton white collar crime attorney who is experienced in these cases.
Kidnapping
There are numerous crimes that are defined by Pennsylvania statutory law as crimes of violence. Generally, they are crimes that cause bodily harm to a person. Violent crimes are graded based on the severity of the harm that they cause, and they range from first-degree felonies to third-degree misdemeanors. Examples of felonies of the first degree include rape, kidnapping, and aggravated assault that causes serious bodily injury. Examples of felonies of the second degree include strangulation of a family or household member and aggravated indecent assault.
Manslaughter
Under Pennsylvania law, there are several homicide offenses with which the Commonwealth may charge a person for killing another individual. Specifically, the law provides that a person who knowingly, recklessly, or negligently causes another human being’s death is guilty of criminal homicide. Homicide crimes are classified as murder or as voluntary or involuntary manslaughter. The exact elements that the prosecution must prove to establish a person’s guilt vary depending on the crime with which the person is charged, but in all cases, the prosecution must produce evidence sufficient to show that the person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Thus, if the prosecution cannot prove that a defendant acted with intent, recklessness, or any other mental state required as an element of the alleged offense, they should not be able to get a conviction. Additionally, depending on the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death, a homicide defense attorney in Scranton may be able to help a defendant avoid a conviction by showing that his or her acts were justified under the circumstances.
