Summary: At the Law Office of John B. Pike, we’ve spent 35 years representing clients accused of very serious crimes; from drug trafficking to violent felonies and homicide in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We understand why people are cautious about legal fees. But we also know this: when the government is trying to take your freedom, you need the best possible defense, not the cheapest.
Here’s why investing in experienced legal representation pays off:
1. Proven Courtroom Experience
Our office has tried high-stakes cases in front of juries across the region. Prosecutors know we don’t bluff. And we don’t back down.
2. Strategic Advantage
We work with expert investigators, dig deep into discovery, and file aggressive pretrial motions to challenge the Commonwealth’s case at every angle.
3. Local Knowledge
We’ve built decades of courtroom relationships in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Bradford, and Susquehanna Counties. We know what strategies work and when to use them.
4. Trial-Ready Representation
If a plea isn’t right for you, we’re prepared to take your case to trial and fight for acquittal. Many lawyers talk about trial, we do it.
5. One Shot at Justice
A bad defense today can ruin your future tomorrow. You don’t get do-overs in criminal court.
Your Freedom Deserves Serious Defense
We don’t promise easy outcomes. But we do promise a relentless, experienced, and highly strategic defense. If you’re facing serious charges in Northeastern Pennsylvania, don’t gamble with your future.
