I am an experienced criminal defense and civil rights attorney. Prior to starting my law practice in October 2013, I worked as a prosecutor at the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and a Deputy Attorney General at the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. I started my law practice, Jubelirer Law, LLC, so that I could use my experience, advocacy skills and compassion to help people to fight for their rights in the criminal justice system. I also handle civil rights cases involving excessive force by police and prisoner civil rights cases in state and federal courts.
Practice areas
I defend clients who have been charged with felonies and misdemeanors in the Court of Common Pleas and Municipal Court in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.
34 years
I defend clients who have been charged with Driving Under the Influence from the preliminary hearing stage through trial and sentencing in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties
34 years
I represent Juveniles in criminal matters and in school disciplinary cases. I aggressively defend these cases to get the best possible outcomes for my clients.
