About Francis
Upon retirement from the State Police in 1990 after twenty years of service, I have been practicing law as a Sole Practitioner in general practice of law in Pennsylvania with majority of the cases being handled in the Montgomery, Bucks and Philadelphia County area.
I am also licensed to practice law in New Jersey, my license is presently on inactive status which I plan to reactivate in the near future.
My main practice consists of all phases of criminal defense and family law litigation.
Criminal law practice consists of criminal defense from initial client intake through and including pre-trial and post trial proceedings including appeals to appellate courts along with representing clients for traffic violations and drivers license problems, expungement of criminal records. In addition I also handle juvenile cases.
Family law practice consists of divorce, custody, support litigation including appeals to appellate courts along with other domestic related matters including but not limited to protection from abuse cases, grandparent and third party custody right issues.
In a limited capacity, I also represent clients in all phases of civil litigation (plaintiff and defense), landlord and tenant litigation, preparation of lease agreements, small claims, preparation of wills, living wills and power of attorney documents, unemployment and workers' compensation matters and real estate transactions.
