John J. Kerrigan, Jr.
I am attorney John J. Kerrigan, Jr. Since 1972, I have been helping people in trouble — people who need a criminal defense attorney who will be on their side throughout the criminal justice process. I represent adult and juvenile criminal defendants throughout southeastern Pennsylvania and in federal courts in Pennsylvania. My clients are a cross-section of the community. They are regular people who have been charged with crimes and need a committed criminal law advocate. My goal as a lawyer is to protect your rights and give you the help you need regardless of what you are accused of. Contact me for a free consultation. I represent all types of criminal defendants in Pennsylvania and federal courts. I handle virtually all criminal offenses:
Helping Pennsylvania Criminal Defendants at Every StageI represent clients facing a wide range of criminal charges ranging from DWAI/DUI to violent offenses. I am ready to help you through the entire criminal justice process. I will represent you at your bail or bond hearing. As we prepare your defense strategy, I will investigate issues such as whether the police or FBI illegally searched for or seized evidence. If you are offered a plea bargain, I will advise you based on my experience with the system, let you decide what to do, and carry out your decision. If your case goes to trial, I will provide you with a vigorous defense, customized to your specific circumstances. I will work hard at every stage to keep you out of jail. Offering Affordable, Accessible Criminal Law RepresentationIf you’ve been charged with a crime, the last thing you want to worry about is how you’re going to afford your criminal defense. I will offer a free initial consultation about your case. During that process, we will discuss my fees. Fee agreements are available for all cases, and I accept credit cards. Don’t hesitate to get help if you have been charged with a crime or if you know you are being investigated. Contact me today John J. Kerrigan Jr.Langhorne, Pennsylvania

Driving while ability impaired (DWAI) — known elsewhere as driving under the influence (DUI) — is a serious charge that you need to take seriously. Having an experienced lawyer represent you can reduce the consequences of a drunk-driving charge. Approximately 40% of all criminal charges in Bucks County are for DWAI/DUI, and the same percentage of my practice as an attorney is devoted to these cases. My clients are regular people who find themselves in trouble and need help. I have been practicing as a criminal defense lawyer for more than 35 years. Contact me for a free consultation if you have been charged with drunk driving. Clearing Your Record and Restoring Your Driving PrivilegesA DWAI/DUI charge carries a risk of jail time in addition to fines and restriction of your driving privileges. Even if you are convicted, however, there are options. Most first-time offenders are eligible for Pennsylvania’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. With ARD, if you go a year without getting into any more legal trouble, the DWAI/DUI charges will be dropped and taken off your record. For people under 18, a consent decree from juvenile court can have the same effect. In addition to criminal charges, people arrested for DWAI/DUI face automatic suspension of their driver’s licenses. If your license has been suspended, I may be able to help you get an occupational limited license so you can drive to work or school. Helping People Charged with Underage DrinkingIf you are under 21 and charged with DWAI/DUI, you may face an additional charge against you for underage drinking. I can help you defend yourself against both of these charges. A DWAI/DUI charge is very serious, but with experienced legal representation you can minimize the consequences and protect your rights.
