The facts of every case are unique. Hiring an experienced defense lawyer to sift through the facts and the law is essential. At the Law Office of Heather J. Mattes, we offer experienced legal representation for clients charged with:

  • Aggravated assault
  • Homicide / Murder
  • Kidnapping
  • Internet crimes against children (ICAC)
  • Rape or other sexual assault
  • Domestic assault

For an effective defense, it is critical that you hire an attorney as soon as you are arrested. Constitutional criminal procedure is a very complex area of the law, and you need the guidance of a knowledgeable attorney, who has formulated defense strategies in these types of cases. Ms. Mattes conducts thorough investigations into the legality of searches and seizures, as well as interrogations that may have been done by the police, and can determine the best course of action for your defense.

If a trial is not your best option, an offer of non-trial disposition to may permit you to receive the lowest possible sentence. Heather Mattes will discuss with you the individual circumstances of your case and work with you to determine the option that will best serve your interests.

Police have become very aggressive in charging defendants with internet crimes against children (ICAC) offenses, as well as other sexually based charges. The consequences of an ICAC or a rape conviction are long lasting, possibly including lifetime registration as a sex offender. If you are facing a rape or other violent sexual assault charge, contact a Philadelphia criminal defense lawyer immediately.
