Elisabeth K. H. Pasqualini

The bulk of my practice involves defending people who have been charged with sex related crimes. Sex crime litigation can be very complex and requires an advocate who knows and understands the laws specific to sex crimes. If you or a loved one is charged with a sex crime, make sure your attorney has significant experience dealing specifically with sex crimes. The consequences are severe and the pitfalls abound for those who may not be up to date in this area of the law

Ms. Pasqualini is an accomplished litigator who focuses her practice on criminal defense at both the federal and state level. Ms. Pasqualini sucessfully defended persons charged with rape, aggravated assault, drug offenses, and misdemeanors regularly achieving Not Guilty jury verdicts for her clients. Even when was not trial counsel in a sex offense case, she defends people against being classified as a Sexually Violent Predator at sentencing, thus avoiding serious Megan's Law consequences.

Ms. Pasqualini has an active federal practice defending persons charged with white collar crimes, sex offenses, drug trafficking, and firearms offenses throughout the Middle District of PA. Legal respresentation is crucial from the earliest stage of a federal investigation. If you have received a target letter or grand jury subpoena, seek legal advice immediately. Often, the most favorable time to negotiate is before an Indictment.

I have handled many DUI cases at both the preliminary hearing level, court ARD, and trial. I have had many successful results, including all out dismissals and not guilty verdicts.
