Criminal Defense 100%

My focus is EXCLUSIVELY on matters involving criminal defense. Too many people fall for the fancy website of the "jack-of-all-trades" lawyer, then realize halfway through their trial just how thinly spread their lawyer's expertise is when they start getting knocked around by the judge and the prosecutor.

The best defense attorney you will ever find

When i was pulled over in Philadelphia i had previous negative experiences with police officers therefore i decided to video tape the traffic stop on my cell phone to protect my rights and have evidence if needed. After being arrested, I felt as if I was taken advantage of and knew I had to hire lega...l help for my situation. Considering all of the negative repercussions of being convicted such as losing my license and my jobs, I began to research online different defense attorneys in philladelphia. Then I stumbled upon Mr. Links website simply by chance. I was immediately impressed by all the succesful case results and such that I decided to give him a try and scheduled a free consultation with him. He saw me within the next few days and right away I knew I made a new friend and hired him on the spot. He treated me like a member of his own family and even worked with me on the price because he was more interested in helping me win my case then taking my money which is a rarety among lawyers today. He insisted that he had my back and that we were going to come out on top but I always had a little bit of hesitation because all of the lawyers I had previously hired in different situations were mediocre at best and ended up barely helping my case at all. As my trial date approached he was there to answer all of my questions at a moments notice in a confident manner. Then on the day of my trial, I sat in the courtroom and watched the few cases before mine. All of the defense attorneys seemed to be inexperienced and were losing one after the other which began to shake my confidence. However the whole time Mr. Link was sitting right there with me telling me not to worry and that he had my back. Then when it was our turn, it was like he flipped a switch. He went from the cool care free friend that i had recently gotten to know into a case winning machine. It was surreal like a scene from a movie. Within 15 minutes he completely destroyed the prosecutions case and proved the arresting officers to be not credible. Therefore after making this clear to the whole court room and judge alike, the motion to supress was granted and the case was thrown out based upon this and also the fact that I was illegally searched and taken advantage of. This was the best feeling ever and as we walked out of the court room I knew the best decision I made was hiring Mr. Link, not to mention everyone else waiting to be tried had a look on their faces like they were thinking ,"wow I wish he was my lawyer". I only have one regret and that is that I wish I found Mr. Link YEARS AGO because im sure he would've saved me much stress, money and aggravation from my previous legal issues. If u are on this website now look no further because you have found the best defense attorney in Philadelphia hands down in my opinion.

NOT GUILTY!

NOT GUILTY!!! Those are the words that Robert P. Link ultimately received for his client my godson, last Friday in the Phila. court system, after a very long incarceration and battle to prove his innocence. Hands down he is " the man " to represent you with knowledge, superior expertise and ...true commitment. He conducts private investigations, interviews witness, victim, police etc. His commitment to you as a human being is very evident, as is his mission and tenaciousness to leave no stone unturned! ROBERT P. LINK is a rarity in today's law and a force to be reckoned with!

THE MACHINE!!!!

Upon being incarcerated I didn't know what to do or who to call. What I knew was time was valuable and I needed good representation. While some may opt for a public defender as I did at first, I quickly realized I needed someone more personal and easily accessible in my grave situation. Not a person ...I had to keep explaining my case to or would only see me when they wanted in my time of need. Little did I know my prayers would he answered. I was referred to Pat Link by a friend and from the first day of meeting him I knew I wouldn't searching for another lawyer. Pat's knowledge, professionalism, and determination beckoned a precedence of reassurance which is exactly what I needed facing a prison sentence no less then 5 yrs. As my lawyer he reassured my family and friends that I was gonna be fine in the absence of my presence by answering every question and every call. More then a lawyer Pat is a friend who was there when some weren't. On the day of March 19th 2014, I witnessed my friend become a machine. The moment was epic because before he sat back down I felt free before I was free..lol. The moment is still surreal because he did everything he said he would and was always available via phone or office. Nevertheless, I took the time to write this because I know there's other like me who are at risk of being taken from everything they love. With that said the right decisions need to be made asap. Because of my decision I'm taking my 5 yr old princess to Chucky Cheeses today.. Lol. "While there's no price on freedom there is a price for hiring the wrong legal representation". It feels good to be free..." NOT GUILTY" - Thanx Pat

"I have been extremely impressed with Robert Link. He recently had a case where his significant investigative work led to the type of "smoking gun" evidence that makes headlines, and is rarely seen in an attorney's entire career. Many attorneys would not go nearly the distance he went to uncover favorable evidence to help his client. He is also well-known in the legal community for his extensive criminal trial experience. So, I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
