How Does The
System Work?

Allegheny
County Criminal
Procedure.

Beaver
County Criminal
Procedure.
Get Ready to Fight.
Your preliminary hearing is the first chance you
get to see the prosecutor's case. This may be
your only chance to hear the prosecutor's
witnesses speak prior to trial. Here, cross
eximination of the witnesses against you is
extremely important.

Get Advice.
Your lawyer can tell you whether the police
had probable cause and whether the
prosecutor will be able to meet its high burden
to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
The major risk by representing yourself at a
preliminary hearing. Show the DA or other
opposing party you are serious by having
experienced counsel at your side. Let them
know it is in
their best interest to offer you
the best possible deal (or dismissal) sooner
rather than later.
