Criminal Appeals and Post-Conviction Relief
20 Years of Experience
Attorney Lea Bickerton has extensive experience representing clients at every stage of the criminal justice system. She uses that experience to help people who are facing charges understand the possible outcomes and the different consequences they may face from a conviction.
The Mission
Using knowledge and experience to get the best possible outcome
One of the most important things a lawyer does is finding the legal arguments that will help their clients win. To do that, a lawyer has to have a solid understanding of what the existing laws say and they have to stay on top of developments in the law. As the chief writer of the Bickerton Law Blog, Attorney Bickerton reads new appellate court cases as they come out.
Treating every client with dignity and respect
In Pennsylvania, the vast majority of appeals are not successful. An experienced criminal appeals lawyer knows what issues to pursue, but they also know how to work with a client as an equal partner. This means helping them understand the likelihood of success and working to ensure that the client remains the decision-maker.
