Understanding Your Rights: The 3 Types of Police Encounters in Pennsylvania

Navigating an interaction with law enforcement can be an overwhelming experience. Whether you are pulled over on I-95 or approached on a sidewalk in Center City, knowing the legal boundaries of a police encounter is your primary defense. Under Pennsylvania law and the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, not every interaction with an officer is the same. At B. Humble Law, led by veteran Philadelphia criminal defense attorney Brian F. Humble, we believe that "knowledge i

Arrested for Gun Offenses in Philadelphia: How B. Humble Law Beats VUFA Charges

The Short Answer: Being arrested for a gun offense in Philadelphia usually results in a Violation of the Uniform Firearms Act (VUFA) charge.

The Guide to Philadelphia Probation and Parole Violations

When you are on probation or parole, your freedom is fragile. The system is constantly watching, and it does not take much to trigger a violation.

Lifting Detainers and Parole Petitions in Philadelphia

There is nothing more frustrating in the Philadelphia criminal justice system than paying your loved one's bail, waiting outside the prison for hours, and then finding out they aren't coming home. The system has a built-in trap for anyone on probation or parole: The Detainer. When a new arrest or a technical violation triggers a probation hold, bail on the new charges means absolutely nothing.
