Profile of Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Attorney Philllip P. DiLucente

Trying to decide which attorney should represent you or your family member is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. I know this can be a frightening time. I also know this is a time to act quickly. A defendant needs to know his or her rights under the law and know what to do to protect those rights. I can be reached 24 hours a day, so you can discuss your situation while the memories are fresh and the evidence is still available.
