You Hire Me.
I Handle Your Case.
Kevin Taccino is the sole attorney at Taccino Law Office — no associates, no handoffs, no intake staff managing your file. From the first call to the final hearing, you work with me directly.
Admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar: 2003
20 Years Practicing in South-Central Pennsylvania
I grew up in Cumberland, Maryland, just across the state line from the communities I now represent. After earning my law degree from Penn State Dickinson School of Law — the law school with the deepest roots in this region — I began practicing in Franklin County in 2003 and have been here ever since.
Before private practice, I interned with MidPenn Legal Services, where I worked directly with people navigating the legal system without resources to spare. That experience shaped how I think about this work. Most people who hire a criminal defense attorney aren't frequent litigants — they're facing something serious for the first time, and they need to understand what's happening and why.
Twenty years of private practice in south-central Pennsylvania means I know the courts, the prosecutors, and the local procedures that don't appear in any textbook. That familiarity matters when your case is on the line.
Court-Appointed in Franklin County Across Three Practice Areas
Franklin County has certified me to represent clients in criminal defense, juvenile delinquency, and dependency matters. Court appointment in all three areas is not standard — it reflects a sustained record of competent representation across each of those distinct practice areas.
For clients facing charges in Franklin County, that credential carries real weight. The same judiciary that will decide your case has repeatedly trusted me to represent the people who appear before it.
I have maintained that appointment since 2003.
Criminal Defense, Juvenile Law, and Family Law — Often in the Same Case
My practice spans three areas for a reason. Legal problems don't always arrive in isolation.
A DUI arrest can trigger a CYS investigation when a child was in the vehicle. A juvenile delinquency case can carry criminal exposure for a parent. A custody dispute can intersect with a pending criminal matter in ways that affect strategy on both sides. When those situations arise, having one attorney who understands all three areas means no information gaps, no conflicting advice from separate counsel, and no one missing how one matter affects another.
Criminal defense
DUI, probation violations, preliminary hearings, PFA defense, general criminal matters
Juvenile law
juvenile delinquency proceedings, CYS and dependency cases, termination of parental rights
I am trial-tested across these areas — comfortable taking a case through a preliminary hearing or to trial when that is what the situation requires, not only to a plea.
What to Expect When You Contact Me
Consultations are paid, and the fee is credited toward your retainer if you hire me. There is no pressure to retain after a consultation — but most clients find that an hour with me gives them a clear picture of where they stand and what their options are.
When you call or submit a contact form, you reach me — not a receptionist routing your inquiry to someone else's queue.
