Our Areas of Legal Practice

We are proficient in numerous areas of legal practice. If you have a problem on your hands, contact us today to discuss options and strategy.

Criminal Defense

Facing a criminal charge is a daunting experience. A conviction can not only result in prison time but also fines, administrative penalties, social stigma, and child custody changes. If you have been charged with a crime in Reading, you need an attorney to protect your rights. We provide general criminal defense for a wide range of minor and serious crimes in Berks County, including:

• Assault and battery
• Disorderly conduct
• Domestic violence
• Probation violations
• Drug crimes
• Sex crimes
• Theft
• White-collar crime and fraud
• Traffic violations
• Underage drinking
• Welfare fraud
• Criminal expungements

Our criminal defense attorneys have previous experience working in the district attorney’s office, giving us a unique perspective on criminal cases. We know both sides of the courtroom and can anticipate common arguments and tactics from the prosecution. This dual perspective makes us incredibly effective at trial, where we have secured numerous case dismissals and charge reductions.

DUI

Pennsylvania punishes DUIs harshly and can impose fines, license suspensions, and mandatory substance abuse counseling. Repeated violations or the presence of aggravating factors can result in prison time. When bringing DUI charges, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were in control of a vehicle while intoxicated. Our DUI defense attorneys can question the prosecution’s case and determine whether the police violated your rights or performed an illegal stop. It’s important that you take DUI charges seriously and secure competent criminal defense.

Personal Injury

If you have sustained injuries due to another’s negligent or wrongful conduct, you can recover financial compensation in the form of a financial settlement. Common examples of personal injury cases in Reading include car accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, construction site accidents, medical malpractice, and product liability injuries. Dealing with the aftermath of a serious injury can seem insurmountable between your medical bills and being unable to work. We can help you pursue a personal injury lawsuit to bring you closure and financial stability when needed most.

Civil Lawsuits

Whether it’s a landlord-tenant or employee contract dispute, you may need to appeal to the law to resolve a conflict. The key to making a successful civil lawsuit is understanding your rights and the other party’s obligations. Chieppor & Egner, LLC, can help resolve civil disputes and work to secure a favorable outcome for your case.

Business Law

Businesses need to deal with complicated regulations and tax systems that can put a burden on owners. Business owners may also need guidance on forming a legal business entity or dealing with disputes in ownership and management. Regardless of the case, we can provide administrative and trial support for business litigation. We have experience working with small business owners, helping them through issues surrounding legal filing, contracts, and liability concerns. We are proud supporters of the business community in Reading.

Firearms Restoration

American citizens have a right to own firearms. However, convictions for some crimes can result in losing your firearm rights. You may have made a mistake in your past, but that is no reason to rescind your rights forever.  Chieppor & Egner, LLC, can help you appeal any post-conviction firearms restrictions and restore your Constitutional rights under the Second Amendment.

• Communicating between the involved parties
• Performing investigations and gathering evidence for cases
