,College is a time for learning, independence, and new experiences. But when a mistake or unexpected situation leads to criminal charges, the decisions made early can have a lasting impact.

College students may face charges involving underage drinking, false identification, DUI, drug offenses, assault, property crimes, and other matters, often with consequences that extend beyond the courtroom.

Dan Yarnall understands what is at stake for students and their families. A former Chester County prosecutor and West Chester University graduate, Dan brings valuable insight into the criminal justice system and provides strategic, experienced representation for college students facing criminal charges.

Client feedback like this means a great deal to our team.

Lauren Nehra recently received a thoughtful letter from a client she represented in an Orphans’ Court litigation matter. Despite living nearly 2,000 miles away, the client trusted Lauren to guide her through a difficult estate matter during an already challenging time.

We are grateful she took the time to share her experience and proud of Lauren for providing the compassionate, responsive counsel our clients deserve.

Football season is back!

Last Friday, the Unruh Turner Burke & Frees team kicked off the NFL season with an Eagles Spirit Day and pizza lunch. While there was plenty of green in the office, we welcomed fans of all teams to represent their favorites. Even a few Steelers and Broncos fans made the cut.

Good food, a little friendly rivalry, and a fun way to wrap up the week. Here’s to another season of football... and keeping the office rivalries friendly!
