Charged with a Crime in Philadelphia?
Your Future Starts with the Right Defense
At Keating Criminal Defense, we don’t believe in plea deals just to clear a docket. We believe in winning. Whether it’s getting charges dropped before arraignment, dismantling the prosecution’s case at trial, or negotiating from a position of strength, we treat every case like it’s our only case.
We have handled hundreds of cases - all with dismissed or reduced charges. Our track record of not-guilty verdicts in felony trials is excessive. You have direct cell phone access to your attorney – no paralegals, no delays. We offer Spanish-speaking services!
No case is too big or too small. If you’re under investigation or already charged, one call can change the outcome. With years of experience both as a prosecutor and now as one of Philadelphia’s most aggressive defense attorneys, Attorney Keating knows exactly how the Commonwealth builds its cases—and exactly how to tear them apart. He has secured outright dismissals, acquittals, and dramatically reduced charges for hundreds of clients facing everything from simple DUIs to serious felonies.
When your freedom is at stake, you need someone who has been on both sides of the aisle. You need Keating Criminal Defense.

Cases We Handle
-
DUI DefenseFacing a DUI in Philadelphia doesn’t have to mean a conviction. At Keating Criminal Defense, we attack every angle—illegal stops, faulty breathalyzer results, and procedural errors—to get charges reduced or dismissed entirely. With former prosecutor experience, we’ve helped hundreds keep their licenses, avoid jail, and move forward with their lives.
-
Drug CrimesFrom simple possession to major trafficking cases, we know the Commonwealth is aggressive—but we’re more aggressive. We challenge search warrants, confidential informants, and lab results to create reasonable doubt. Many of our clients walk away with charges dropped or diverted into programs that leave no criminal record.
-
Gun ChargesFrom possession to trafficking – we fight for dismissals & reduced charges.
-
Domestic Violence
An assault or domestic violence accusation can destroy your reputation before you ever see a courtroom. We move fast—filing for dismissal of improper PFA orders, exposing weak evidence, and protecting your job and family. Our goal: get the case dropped early so you can put this behind you for good.
