Being arrested in Delaware County is a very scary time. You might worry about going to jail or having to pay big fines. You could lose your driver’s license or have trouble with your immigration status. If you do not speak English well, the court system can feel very hard to understand.
If you need a law firm in Delaware County with resources for Ukrainian speakers, you deserve a team that explains things clearly. Attorney William Burrows and the criminal lawyers with SKA Law Group work hard to protect your rights. Our goal is to make sure you always know what is happening with your case.
Why Having Language Support is Good for Your Defense
Things move very fast after an arrest. The police will ask many questions. You might be asked to sign papers that are hard to read. If you do not know exactly what is going on, you could make a mistake that hurts your case.
By using professional interpreters and translated papers, SKA Law Group helps you:
- Understand the Charges: We explain exactly why the police arrested you in simple words.
- Know Your Rights: We make sure you know you have the right to be silent and the right to a lawyer.
- Share Your Story: We help you tell the court what happened so we can build a strong defense together.
- Know the Schedule: We explain your court dates and what will happen at each meeting.
How Criminal Cases Can Affect Your Immigration Status
It is important to know that criminal law and immigration law are not the same. However, a criminal case in Delaware County can change your life in the U.S. A conviction could lead to:
- Being sent back to your home country (deportation).
- Having your visa or Green Card denied.
- Problems trying to become a U.S. citizen.
SKA Law Group focuses on defending you in criminal court. We try to handle your case in a way that protects your future in this country. If you need a special immigration lawyer, we can help find one to work with us. Our main job is to fight the criminal charges first.
Criminal Defense for Cases in Delaware County
Our firm helps people in Delaware County courts, including the main courthouse in Media and local courts in Chester, Upper Darby, and Havertown. We use resources for Ukrainian speakers to help with many cases:
DUI (Driving Under the Influence)
Pennsylvania has very strict laws for drinking and driving. You could face jail or lose your license. We check if the police had a good reason to stop your car and if their tests were done right.
Drug Charges
Whether it is a small amount of drugs or a bigger case, we look at how the police found the evidence. If the police broke the rules when they searched you, we fight to keep that evidence out of court.
Assault and Fights
Arguments can sometimes lead to serious charges. We look at all the facts, including self-defense. We make sure the court hears your side of the story accurately.
Theft and Financial Crimes
Stealing or fraud can make it hard to get a job later. We work on a plan to protect your record and your future.
