Contact the law firm by phone or by e-mail through this Web site to schedule a conversation with attorney George M. Sere regarding your legal issue such as the following:
DUI: Even in a tough state like Pennsylvania, there are options such as occupational driver’s licenses, probationary driver’s licenses and rehabilitation programs that show prosecutors and judges that someone who was driving under the influence of alcohol is making a sincere effort to resolve chemical abuse problems and to prevent further infractions.
Philadelphia Traffic Court: When it is necessary to try a case in Philadelphia traffic court to protect a client’s best interests, Attorney Sere is prepared to do so. Meticulous preparation (including gathering of photos, eyewitness accounts, and other key evidence) together with aggressive cross-examination in Philadelphia traffic court, is often the formula for success.
Traffic Violations: Mr. Sere provides assistance to clients in Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania counties with all moving violations, including:
Driving without a license
Driving with a suspended license
Driving without insurance
Driving without registration
Illegal U-turn
Leaving the scene of an accident
Mechanical violations
Reckless driving
Running a red light or stop sign
Driving without a seat belt or transporting a child without proper child restraint
Speeding
Unlawful vehicle modifications
All other moving violations
Traffic Court/PennDOT Appeals: A traffic appeal may be particularly necessary for your livelihood if you have already lost your driving privileges through an administrative license suspension. The outcome of an appeal may be critical if you cannot afford to lose your driver’s license or live with the consequences of a guilty plea.
Driver’s License Suspension: As a career traffic defense lawyer with three decades’ experience, Attorney Sere knows how important it is to get all the facts when a client is seeking a prompt end to a driver’s license suspension. He reviews all the facts behind a relevant traffic conviction in order to determine whether a traffic appeal or a PennDOT hearing is appropriate. Also, he negotiates efficiently with the appropriate offices to recover clients’ driver’s licenses. In some cases, a client gets his or her license back within the day.
Commercial Vehicles/Trucking and CDL Violations: Time is money for truck drivers and their supervisors. It is important to resolve a legal matter promptly, as favorably as possible. Ready accessibility to one’s lawyer is imperative in a commercial driver’s (CDL) violation.
Work/Probation Driver’s License: To maximize your chances of success, discuss your application for an occupational limited license (OLL) with Pennsylvania traffic violations attorney George M. Sere. Know your legal rights. Entrust your probationary license matter to an advocate you can trust.
Assault: Attorney George M. Sere is an experienced criminal defense attorney with a long track record of favorable outcomes. Assault charges vary according to circumstances, as follows:
Simple assault
Aggravated assault (if the violator has a gun in possession or the victim was substantially hurt)
Aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI)
Juvenile Law: Attorney George M. Sere has more than 30 years’ experience in presenting compelling cases in defense of juvenile and adult suspects. Keeping the accused young person out of detention, in school and at home with his or her family is the first and top priority in any juvenile criminal case.
Sex Crimes: In all criminal matters including sex crimes, a detailed investigation into all relevant facts and circumstances is the foundation of a strong defense. A review of the evidence, interviews with complaining witnesses, and investigation into the credibility of the alleged victim must be conducted with a sharp eye for discrepancies.
Theft/Shoplifting: A shoplifting charge may occur as a result of a misunderstanding or a mistake. Whether the alleged shoplifter knowingly took merchandise is the prosecutor’s burden of proof.
Underage Drinking: If your underage drinking charge coincides with an auto accident in which you were the driver and other motorists or passengers were injured or killed, your legal situation is much more serious. For this reason, you are strongly urged to seek advice and counsel from an understanding defense attorney with years of experience.
Drug Charges: If you or your juvenile son or daughter has been charged with possession, manufacture or distribution of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or any other controlled substance in Pennsylvania, contact the law offices of George M. Sere in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
If This Is Your First Offense: The Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ADR) program is an alternative to traditional criminal justice that enables a first-time offender to get past an arrest and on to a clean slate.
Probation/Parole: Know your legal rights with regard to your probation or parole. Discuss your motion to revoke (MTR) hearing with an experienced lawyer.
Child Custody/Visitation: Protect your parental rights and safeguard your child’s best interests. Explore your options when your family’s child custody and visitation agreement is not working well. Entrust your child custody concerns to an advocate you can trust.
No-Fault/Uncontested Divorce: Provided that both spouses agree on the division of assets in an uncontested divorce, the proceedings can probably be handled by mail. There will be no need for a court appearance or even any face-to-face discussion with Attorney Sere. However, sometimes complications may be discovered that will not allow for an easy divorce.
PFA/Domestic Abuse: Pennsylvanians confronting an abusive spouse — or facing domestic abuse charges — in the area of Philadelphia, Norristown, Doylestown and beyond are encouraged to call or e-mail domestic violence lawyer George M. Sere for experienced legal counsel and representation.
