When you select a criminal defense law firm, you want a law firm with experienced criminal defense attorneys who are straightforward, honest, hardworking, communicative, responsive to your needs, and well-respected throughout the Pennsylvania legal community.

The Harrisburg, Pennsylvania office of Tucker Arensberg was formed with a strong presence in the local community to provide criminal defense along with doing work for businesses, insurance companies, and handling personal injuries. In the criminal defense area, in particular, we started with a white-collar practice in 2017 with the hiring of Jerry Russo. In 2020, we invested more in the area of general criminal defense by hiring two seasoned and well-respected attorneys, Brian Perry and Casey Shore. Today, we have a full team of criminal defense attorneys, and these attorneys have enabled us to create the most thorough and sophisticated criminal defense practice in the state of Pennsylvania.

Tucker Arensberg is a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (PACDL).
