Statement From Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Lawyer David Zuckerman

Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Attorney Dave Zuckerman

Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Attorney David Zuckerman

What sets me apart from other criminal defense lawyers in Pittsburgh is my unique experience analyzing criminal cases while working in all three phases of the Pennsylvania criminal justice system:

  • For the judiciary as a law clerk conducting legal research and opinion draft writing for a Pennsylvania criminal court judge;

  • For the prosecution, as a former Allegheny County Assistant District Attorney with an 80% conviction rate on jury trial litigation;

  • For the defense, as results-driven Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney whose firm has represented over 3000 clients in state courts throughout Western Pennsylvania.

More than anything, I understand that results matter. As a criminal defense attorney seeking the best result in every case, it is critical to know when to negotiate and when to fight. I will file and argue pre-trial motions and take your case to trial if needed to pursue your case goals. Having worked alongside prosecutors and police officers, I will comprehensively examine your case and strike a plea agreement only when it is in your best interests.
