Biography

Justin is an accomplished partner at Farrell Weaver & Okun, where he has built a distinguished career specializing in criminal law, appellate advocacy, and estate and probate matters.

Justin has experience in various areas of criminal law, including preliminary hearings, grand jury proceedings, trial and appellate litigation, death penalty cases, and post-conviction relief petitions. Justin has handled and aided jury trials, nonjury trials and conducted numerous pre-trial hearings including motions to suppress and petitions for habeas corpus relief. Justin has handled and aided cases ranging from homicides to DUI’s to summary charges.

Justin is a seasoned appellate advocate having extensive work in taking successful appeals before the Pennsylvania Superior Court and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, as well as federal habeas corpus petitions. The experience in the courtroom as a trial advocate aids a successful appellate advocate. In turn, the knowledge and experience from appellate advocacy has given an acute sense and insight into strong trial advocacy.

Justin has won at every level of a criminal proceeding whether that be a dismissal at a preliminary hearing, a verdict after a jury trial or a reversal from the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on appeal.

Aside from criminal practice, Justin has maintained a thriving estate and probate practice. He has successfully aided client’s in navigating the probate process including filing necessary forms, litigating issues that arise and preparing and filing inheritance taxes. Justin has litigated claim disputes and fought for his client’s rights and fair share within the estate on behalf of executors and beneficiaries. Justin writes legal documents for estate planning.

Justin maintains and urges the importance that people get their incapacitation decisions and dying wishes outlined in writing to help their loved ones care for them appropriately.
