Philadelphia Criminal Defense Attorney Negotiates Deal for Lesser Sentence

Philadelphia Criminal Defense Attorney Peter L. Johnston represented a local man accused of a home invasion, gunpoint robbery. After extensive negotiations in which he emphasized significant weaknesses in the case, Mr. Johnston was able to reach a favorable plea agreement in which his client received a sentence of only 1 to 3 years – whereas a possible conviction at trial could have kept him in prison for the better part of the rest of his life. Since the client has already spent more than 16 months in jail on this charge, he is very likely to be released in the near future.
