Last updated on February 11, 2025

Anytime you face a criminal charge, you are in a challenging position. Pennsylvania criminal law is strict, and you are just one person dealing with a massive, well-resourced investigation and prosecution. However, you do not have to deal with this alone.

At Hadeed Law, attorney Samir Hadeed is a thorough, aggressive defense lawyer for people across Pittsburgh. His dedication and strength as an attorney come from his compassion and care for his clients. He understands that his clients are facing the most difficult challenges of their lives and fights for them as they deserve.

Protecting Your Rights Is Extremely Important

There is nothing more important to you than your constitutional protections. Every single right that you may have keeps the government from doing whatever it wishes to you. Defending those rights is essential – not just for you, but for everyone. Attorney Hadeed has a great deal of experience protecting the rights of clients facing:

• Traffic violations: From driving under the influence (DUI) offenses to speeding tickets, your rights do not end simply because you are behind the wheel of a car.
• Gun and drug charges: Often, gun and drug searches violate your rights easily, and without a skilled, vigorous defense, you’re in more legal jeopardy.
• Assault: Including battery and domestic violence, assault charges come with steep penalties and serious personal consequences.
• Theft crimes: Crimes like burglary and robbery are often aggressively pursued by local authorities, leading to a great deal of rights violations.

It does not matter what the charges against you are, what the circumstances surrounding them are or even what condition any alleged victim is in. Your rights are a sacred piece of the criminal law puzzle. You deserve every ounce of an aggressive defense.

Forcing A Perfect Prosecution

The most important thing about your rights is that an imperfect case against you is a lot harder to prove. If there are mistakes in the evidence collection, unreliable witnesses or any errors by the prosecutor in presenting evidence, then the case gets much tougher for the other side.

As your lawyer, attorney Samir Hadeed will force the prosecution to be perfect – and that is an extremely hard thing to do for them.

Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Defense

You can learn more about criminal defense laws by talking to an attorney. Here is a collection of frequently asked questions:

I’m innocent. Do I need a criminal law attorney?

Yes. Being innocent does not mean you will not be charged with a crime – or even convicted. When the facts seem to fit a prosecutor’s narrative, an innocent person can easily be convicted. A criminal defense attorney can educate you on your legal rights, challenge the evidence, present alternative narratives and improve your chances of winning your case.

Should I talk to the police?

No. Talking to the police could severely affect your defense options. The police can use whatever you say against you in court – and they will. Make no mistake: If the police are talking to you, they are looking for ways to pressure you into making self-incriminating statements and they have already made up their minds about your guilt. You cannot talk your way out of charges.

You have the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment. If you wish to make it known that you are not going to talk to the police, you can state that you “wish to remain silent” or “plead the Fifth.” This can protect you from making self-incriminating comments.

What’s the process after being arrested for a criminal offense in Pittsburgh?

There are several steps for a criminal offense in Pittsburgh. The stages that follow an arrest include:

● Preliminary arraignment: The defendant is informed of their rights and charges against them. They may be released on bail or held in jail.
● Preliminary hearing: A hearing is held to determine if the case should continue based on evidence.
● Formal arraignment: The defendant is given information about the pretrial conference and informed about their right to request discovery and file pretrial motions.
● Pretrial conference: The defense attorney, district attorney and judge meet to discuss the case.
● Trial: The defendant appears for trial and begins their defense.
● Sentencing: If found guilty, the defendant is convicted.
● Appeals: The defendant can appeal a conviction.

Defendants need an experienced attorney on their side at every stage of the process.
