Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Lawyer - Pennsylvania Perjury Attorney

Have You or Someone You Know Been Charged with Perjury?

Many times, purported witnesses to a Violent Crime, Homicide, Sex Crime or Drug Crime are forced to wait months or even years before the case in which they are called to testify, finally comes to trial. On some occasions, key witnesses forget their original testimony given under oath at a Preliminary Hearing and do not feel comfortable being reminded of their testimony by the officer, agent or prosecutor on the case.

More specifically, some witnesses realize at trial that what they testified to earlier was incorrect and want do the right thing and correct the mistake, but instead face threats of Perjury, False Swearing or charges of False Reports by officers on the case.

What is Perjury?

In Pennsylvania, a person is guilty of Perjury, if in any official proceeding he makes a false statement under oath when the statement is material and he does not believe it to be true. A conviction for perjury is a felony conviction punishable by a potential prison sentence and hefty fines.
