If you’ve received a summons before this court, it can be one of three types of cases: civil, landlord/ tenant, or traffic. You’re probably nervous and have many questions. Do you need a lawyer? Will you have to pay a fine? Will you lose your license? Will you go to jail?
Luckily, a Delaware County lawyer can help you with answers, and advocate on your behalf in front of the judge. A lawyer works just for you and will help you gather the information that you need to help make your case stronger. They can also defend you against someone seeking a lawsuit or if you’ve received a traffic citation. To ensure the protection of your rights and responsibilities as a landlord, you should retain the services of a landlord attorney who has knowledge of the rental laws in the state of Pennsylvania.

Magisterial district courts have jurisdiction over criminal charges and preliminary hearings for criminal charges, misdemeanors, and felonies – basically, and types of crimes that occur within their county. These types of hearings and criminal charges can be things like firearm violations, drug possession, assault, and battery, or DUI.
These courts also cover landlord/ tenant laws, including evictions and recovery of property. If you’ve been involved in a dispute with a landlord, you’ll want a lawyer on your side, because many real estate property management companies have their attorneys. A good lawyer can help keep you in your home, or reduce the sentencing so that you’ll still be able to rent a different house or apartment.
Finally, Magisterial Court hears minor lawsuits. If you’re being sued for a debt, a lawyer can help challenge this, and show you what kinds of information you’ll need to give the court to reduce the amount you owe or have it waived entirely.
