Criminal Defense Attorney Serving Carlisle and Cumberland County

If you're facing criminal charges in Carlisle, you need an attorney who has actually appeared in Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas — not one who lists it as a service area on a website. Kevin Taccino has practiced in Cumberland County courts for years, and he attended Dickinson School of Law right here in Carlisle. This is a place he knows, not a territory he's claiming.

One Attorney Who Handles Your Case from the First Call to the Last Hearing

Larger firms in the Carlisle area can offer volume and name recognition. What they can't always guarantee is that the attorney you meet at your first consultation is the one who walks into the courtroom with you. At Taccino Law Office, that's not a concern. Kevin personally handles every case he accepts. There are no associates, no intake staff managing your file between check-ins, and no handoffs when a senior attorney gets busy.

 

You hire Kevin. Kevin handles it. That consistency matters in criminal defense, where the details of your case — the facts, the timeline, the conversations — need to live with one person who is accountable to you from start to finish.

Criminal Defense in Cumberland County

Kevin defends clients facing a full range of criminal charges in Cumberland County, including DUI, assault, probation violations, and general criminal matters. Whether your case is headed toward a preliminary hearing, a negotiated resolution, or trial, Kevin is prepared to take it where it needs to go. He has never limited his practice to cases that settle easily — and that comfort with the courtroom is something clients facing serious charges should expect from their attorney.

DUI Defense for Carlisle-Area Clients

A DUI charge in Cumberland County carries real consequences: license suspension, fines, potential incarceration, and a record that follows you. Kevin defends DUI cases at every stage of the process, from the preliminary hearing through trial if necessary. He examines the stop, the field sobriety procedures, and the chemical testing process to identify where the government's case may be weaker than it appears. If you've been charged with DUI in or around Carlisle, the earlier you have an attorney involved, the more options typically remain available.

Family Law Representation in Cumberland County

Cumberland County family law matters — including child custody and PFA orders — are fully within the scope of Kevin's practice. If you're dealing with a custody dispute or need representation in a Protection From Abuse proceeding in Cumberland County, Kevin can take your case. For clients with overlapping criminal and family law matters, having a single attorney who understands both proceedings can make a meaningful difference in how those cases are managed and how they affect each other.

Why Clients in Carlisle Choose Taccino Law Office

There are several reasons clients from Carlisle and Cumberland County work with Kevin rather than one of the larger regional firms:

 

  • 20 years of private practice in south-central Pennsylvania, including regular appearances in Cumberland County courts
  • Attended Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle — genuine familiarity with the local legal community and court culture
  • Single-attorney practice: the attorney at your consultation is the attorney at your hearing
  • Handles criminal defense, juvenile law, and family law — relevant when your situation touches more than one area of law
  • Consultation fee credited toward your retainer if you hire Kevin
  • Trial-tested representation; not a practice built around plea deals

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Kevin Taccino regularly appear in Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas?

    Yes. Cumberland County is part of Kevin's active regional practice. He has appeared in Cumberland County courts as a regular part of his caseload, not as an occasional exception. Carlisle is also where he attended law school, so his familiarity with the area goes back further than most attorneys who claim the county as a service territory.

    Kevin defends a broad range of criminal matters in Cumberland County, including DUI, probation violations, assault, preliminary hearings, and general criminal charges. If you're unsure whether your situation falls within his practice, a consultation is the right first step.

  • Will I work directly with Kevin, or could my case be handled by someone else at the firm?

    Taccino Law Office is a solo practice. Kevin is the only attorney. Every client he accepts works with him directly — from the initial consultation through resolution. There are no associates who might take over your file, and no risk of being handed off mid-case.

    Yes. Child custody matters and PFA proceedings in Cumberland County are within Kevin's practice. If you're dealing with a family law matter in Carlisle or elsewhere in Cumberland County, Kevin can represent you.

  • How does the consultation fee work?

    Kevin charges a fee for the initial consultation, which is credited toward your retainer if you decide to hire him. This structure ensures the consultation is substantive — you get real legal guidance, not a sales conversation — and it means the fee isn't lost if you move forward.
