# Kearney Law

> Former Prosecutors. Now We Defend. Kearney Law is a criminal defense, DUI defense, and personal injury firm in York, Pennsylvania, founded by T.L. Kearney IV. Every attorney at the firm previously worked as a prosecutor, and now uses that courtroom experience for the defense, representing clients across York, Adams, Lancaster, Cumberland, and Dauphin counties, and in federal court throughout Pennsylvania.

## About Kearney Law

Kearney Law was built on a simple premise: attorneys who once prosecuted cases for the Commonwealth know exactly how the other side builds a case, and that insight is a real advantage for the defense. The firm handles criminal defense, DUI defense, personal injury, civil litigation, and real estate matters, with a particular concentration in serious criminal charges across Central Pennsylvania. Kearney Law also produces the Now We Defend podcast, where the firm's attorneys discuss real cases and Pennsylvania criminal law topics.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What should I do if I'm arrested in Pennsylvania?
Stay silent beyond identifying yourself, avoid answering questions or explaining your side of the story without an attorney present, and contact a criminal defense lawyer as early in the process as possible, ideally before your first court appearance.

### What makes a former prosecutor a good defense attorney?
A former prosecutor has seen how the Commonwealth builds and argues a case from the inside, which helps in spotting weak evidence, procedural errors, and negotiating leverage a defense-only background might miss.

### Does Kearney Law offer a free consultation?
Yes. Prospective clients can schedule a free initial consultation at https://tlkearneylaw.com/schedule-a-consultation/.

### What counties does Kearney Law practice in?
York, Adams, Lancaster, Cumberland, and Dauphin counties, plus Pennsylvania federal courts.
