  • Personal Injury, Wrongful Death & Medical Malpractice
    (Hover for More Info)

    Every day people are injured or killed because of the reckless or negligent actions of others. As the medical bills pile up, so does the stress level. All too often insurance companies take advantage of this stress to make a low-ball offer that will not cover your costs if you were hurt in an accident, in a fall on poorly maintained property, or from the negligence of a doctor or a manufacturer. I will fight to ensure you receive all the compensation you are due.

  • Workers' Comp
    (Hover for More Info)

    Injured workers sometimes find their employer standing in the way of their ability to get the workers’ comp benefits they are due after a workplace injury. The employer may say you were hurt before you came to work, or may try to say you are not as hurt as you claim to be. Especially in cases of serious injury, working with a lawyer can help your case.

  • Criminal Case/Drug Case
    (Hover for More Info)

    Whether this is your first offense or you have had trouble with the law in the past; whether you have been charged with drunk driving, a drug crime, or a sex crime, I will fight to protect your rights, in and out of court. As a Pennsylvania criminal defense lawyer, I have a track record of success in criminal cases.

  • Probate & Estate Administration
    (Hover for More Info)

    If you have never taken an estate through probate, it is wise to get legal counsel. Executors can be held personally responsible for mistakes made during the probate process. By working with an experienced probate lawyer, you can have confidence that you have handled the probate of the estate properly.

I highly endorse this lawyer. John and I have co-counseled on a few different cases. He is very intelligent, highly qualified and a talented Courtroom Lawyer. He is a pleasure to try cases with and the first attorney I call with a legal question. The best compliment I can give is that I would trust John to represent a member of my own family.

Defendant had been charged in the February burglary of the Corus Pharmacy on West Chester Pike. However, Delaware County Judge James Bradley ruled the evidence was illegally obtained by Upper Darby police.
Bradley's decision, handed down in March, precluded the commonwealth from utilizing any items seized in the defendant's auto or his home. The judge also ordered that no reference is to be made of the defendant's confession since it resulted directly from the illegal search.
Defense attorney John Neumann Hickey…successfully argued the suppression motion on behalf of Defendant.
