Criminal Defense 15%

I worked in the Lancaster County Public Defender Office until 1985. During those years I handled numerous criminal cases of all types, including many jury trials. I have continued to take criminal cases on a private basis since leaving that office.

DUI and DWI 5%

Additional to the general area of criminal defense, I have done many DUI cases in particular, including obtaining ARD for my client, negotiating a plea bargain, arguing suppression motions, and representing the defendant in a jury trial.

5%
Expungement 5%

Pennsylvania law has expanded the types of cases that can now qualify for an expungement or a sealed record from what it was historically. For that reason I do more of these cases at this time than in previous years.

Probate 5%

As my private practice has grown, and clients for whom I prepared a will have passed, this area has grown in recent years. I assist the executor or administrator with handling the estate of the family member who has passed.

5%
Wills and Living Wills 5%

I have prepared, and ensured the proper execution of, a great many wills at this point in my career. I make every effort to make sure the wishes of the testator are properly and accurately set forth in the will.

Custody

Back in 2012 had a big problem with my baby, I hired Robert And I can’t express with word how graceful I am with him, his professionalism, the way he care and the way he conducted all the investigation and time he spend in my case explaining to me each step each situation what can we do and all the ...extra step that may happen or no, it was a difficult time, but he took time and dedication and we win and for that I will for ever be thankful to him, after that I have hired him two more time.

EXCELLENT, KNOWLEDGEABLE LAWYER

Attorney Bacher had taken the time needed, to answer every question that I had posed to him. He explained details thoroughly and responded in a timely fashion. He made sure that information was easy to comprehend and was always prepared. He made me feel comfortable, making sure that I understood each... scenario, there possible outcome, and what his next approach would be. I felt nothing but trust concerning him, because he had a genuine interest in my case. He is greatly appreciated and I thank him sincerely for absolutely everything that he has done.

Reccomended to me by family

Robert Bacher was very attentive to my urgent legal needs and made sure that I knew all options available to me. He was open and honest about all possible outcomes for my my case and was able to help me feel more secure in a very uncertain situation. Case is yet to be closed but I am far more confide...nt than I would have been without his help.
