Skilled Representation for People Facing Criminal Charges

Our firm understands the serious consequences that criminal charges can have on your life, and we are here to fight for your rights. Some of the criminal law matters for which we have defended clients include:

• Drug Charges: Offenses related to controlled substances can range from simple possession to more serious offenses such as drug trafficking or manufacturing. Illinois law imposes strict penalties for drug-related offenses, and a conviction can lead to significant fines, incarceration, and a permanent mark on your criminal record. Our firm has experience defending clients against various drug charges, including cases involving marijuana, cocaine, heroin, prescription drugs, and other controlled substances.
• DUI: Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a serious offense in Illinois, with penalties that can include license suspension, hefty fines, and jail time. A DUI conviction can have long-lasting effects on your driving privileges and your life. We have successfully defended clients facing DUI charges by challenging the legality of traffic stops, the accuracy of breathalyzer and blood tests, and the procedures followed by law enforcement. Whether you are facing a first-time DUI, multiple DUI, drug-related DUI, DUI with injury, or underage DUI, our firm is prepared to provide a strong defense to help you avoid the severe consequences of a conviction.
• Violent Crimes: Offenses such as assault/battery, domestic violence, kidnapping, robbery, or carjacking carry some of the most severe penalties under Illinois law. A conviction can result in consequences such as a lengthy prison sentence, substantial fines, and other issues that can affect your employment and your personal life. Our firm has a deep understanding of the complexities involved in these cases. We thoroughly investigate the circumstances of each case, scrutinize the prosecution's evidence, and work to build a strong defense that challenges the accusations against our clients.
• Weapons Violations: The laws in Illinois detail a range of offenses related to weapons, from unlawful possession of a firearm to unlawful use of a weapon. A conviction for a weapon-related crime can result in severe penalties, including prison time and significant fines. Our firm is experienced in defending clients against weapons charges, and we explore every possible defense, including challenging the legality of searches and seizures, questioning the circumstances of the arrest, and arguing for the protection of our clients' Second Amendment rights.
• Property Crimes: Offenses that involve the unlawful taking, damaging, or intrusion upon another person's property include burglary, theft, arson, criminal damage to property, and trespassing. In Illinois, property crimes can range from misdemeanors to serious felonies depending on the nature of the offense and the value of the property involved. A conviction for a property crime can result in imprisonment, fines, restitution, and a permanent criminal record. Our firm has successfully defended clients against various property crime charges by challenging the evidence, questioning the intent behind the actions, and exploring all potential defenses.
• Search & Seizure: The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects against unreasonable or illegal searches by law enforcement. In many criminal cases, the legality of a search or seizure is often a critical issue. If law enforcement officials conduct illegal searches without obtaining warrants, any evidence obtained may be inadmissible in court. Our firm is skilled at identifying and challenging unlawful searches and seizures, and we work tirelessly to have such evidence suppressed, which can lead to the dismissal of charges or a reduction in penalties.
• Misdemeanor Crimes: While these offenses may be considered less serious than other types of crimes, a person will face a variety of consequences if they are convicted, including fines, a potential jail sentence, and a criminal record. Common misdemeanor charges in Illinois include theft, disorderly conduct, simple assault, and certain traffic offenses. Our firm treats every case with the same level of attention and dedication, regardless of the severity of the charge. We work to negotiate favorable plea deals, seek alternatives to incarceration, and, when necessary, take cases to trial to protect our clients' rights and futures.
• Felony Crimes: Felonies are the most serious criminal offenses under Illinois law. They include a wide range of charges, such as murder, sexual assault, armed robbery, and certain drug offenses. A felony conviction can result in severe penalties, including long-term imprisonment, significant fines, and the loss of certain civil rights, such as the right to vote or own a firearm. Felony convictions also carry the possibility of lifelong consequences, impacting employment, housing, and other areas of your life. Our firm is experienced in defending clients against felony charges, and we can help take steps to resolve these cases through negotiation, plea agreements, or taking a case to trial.
