Defending the accused
At John Knorr Law, our main goal is to provide you with an intelligent evaluation of your case and an aggressive defense. Often, prosecutors act as though they have all the cards and treat accused individuals as low-level human beings. In contrast, we treat each of our clients as unique individuals with specific needs and circumstances who deserve quality representation and favorable results.

We fight for you and hold the government to its burden of proof — beyond a reasonable doubt — with lawfully obtained evidence.

Pittsburgh defense lawyer protecting your freedom
When the government has filed criminal charges against you, it is trying to take your liberty away from you by putting you in jail, or at best, probation. This restricts your freedom.

When the government files charges, it usually believes that it is going to steamroll the accused and obtain a preferred sentence from the judge. It is our job to prove to the government and the judge that there are problems with the case that could lead to an acquittal or greatly reduced charges and a much lower or void sentence.

Is hiring an experienced private lawyer worthwhile? 

• In life, you get what you pay for. We apply our 35 years of experience in state and federal courts to helping you with cases ranging from drug misdemeanors and felonies to the most serious homicides. 
  

• Legal fees and services can accumulate, but if the government puts you in jail for months, or even years, you will be separated from your family, friends, and employment or school.
  

We focus on you
The client must repeatedly be reminded — you are innocent. Only proof beyond a reasonable doubt at trial can remove that presumption from you. We value the opportunity to represent "the little guy" against the specter and power of the government and to protect your liberty. We can help you with criminal trials in all State and Federal Court, motor vehicle violations, and post-conviction matters, including:
