Criminal Defense 54%

I have defended people charged with crimes since 1990. From Preliminary Arraignment to Jury trial I have defended every type of criminal case. Drug charges, PWI, Aggravated Assault, Sexual Assault. I have filed and won hundreds of suppression motions (OPT).

36 years | 2,000 cases

54%
DUI and DWI 35%

You should have a trial lawyer review your DUI arrest. Do not assume ARD is your best option. I have been defending people charges with DUI and other serious traffic offenses including homicide by vehicle. I have tried many DUI jury trials and bench trials. I believe every DUI arrest should be reviewed for possible suppression (OPT) issues.

36 years | 200 cases

35%

I have defended people charged with these crimes and defended people charged by CYS and the Department of Welfare. I have represented people in Childline Appeals.

36 years | 50 cases

5%
Expungement 1%

Pennsylvania has expanded its laws on expungements and record sealing so there is a greater opportunity to clear (or at least hide) old mistakes. These new changes are a step in the right direction to help people live and work.

Berks County's Best Super Lawyer

Mr. Feeney is a very Knowledgeable, confident, and experienced attorney. he leaves you with a strong sense of reassurance from day one, but still informs you of the Reality of the situation. He has a unique ability to look at the big picture. With his vast and wide knowledge of Civil and Criminal L...aw. He was able to Protect my Professional Licenses and certification. In one Years time Mr. Feeney made my Felony Charges disappear and got my unblemished record Back and allowed me to keep my commendable career intact. If you have everything Loose (Job,Freedom ,Family), Then you will have allot to gain from Mr. Feeney. If you need and attorney that will advocate for you , Self advocate for yourself and Give Mr. Feeney a Call and start stacking the card in you favor. Berks County's Best

criminal client

He either takes too many cases on or does not care enough for his clients because he doesn't keep you informed whatsoever. It didn't turn out as well as he had thought they would. If you have the chance for a PD go for it you will get the same amount of time you get with Kevin once he gets your mone...y ! Ten minutes of your time!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
