What Are Our Practice Areas?

Our Chicago attorneys have years of experience providing legal assistance to clients across our three main practice areas. One such practice area is criminal defense, which we take seriously since even minor criminal charges can affect your life or the life of your loved one for years to come. A criminal conviction can potentially follow you or them around for life, so we’re committed to helping avoid this outcome. Our lawyers are ready to fight zealously and aggressively for justice by taking on your criminal defense case, so don’t hesitate to call our Illinois legal team for help.

We also take on cases involving police misconduct, so we urge you to contact us if you or a loved one were the victim of any kind of misconduct by the police in Illinois. It’s important to remember that the duty of police and law enforcement officers is to protect and serve the community. When an officer acts outside their legal authority through excessive force, wrongful seizures, or simply ignoring your civil rights, you have legal rights that we can protect.

In addition, we can handle personal injury claims for clients who were severely injured due to someone else’s actions. So, if you or a loved one were a victim of an accident that caused a serious injury, contact us to find out how to seek compensation. We can help ensure you take the proper steps to protect your legal rights and collect financial compensation as you recover from your injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens at a bail hearing in Illinois? What happens at a detention hearing in Illinois?

If you’re arrested for allegedly committing a criminal offense, you might need a bail hearing before you’re released. At this type of hearing, a judge determines if you can be released from custody while awaiting trial. If the answer is yes, they must decide what the conditions of release will be. The judge will consider factors that include the severity of the criminal charges, your flight risk, your criminal history, and whether you pose a danger to the community. Criminal defense lawyers can advocate for you to get a reasonable bail or even argue for your release without bail.

A detention hearing in Illinois is a court proceeding held to determine whether a juvenile or adult defendant should remain in custody or be released while awaiting further court proceedings. The specifics of a detention hearing can vary depending on whether the case involves a juvenile or an adult, but here are the general aspects of a detention hearing in Illinois.

What should I do if I’m injured in an Illinois car accident?

If you were in a car accident, your first step should be to seek medical treatment for any injuries you suffered. While at the accident scene, you should take pictures of the damage to the vehicles involved and the injuries you and your passengers sustained. You should also fill out a police report and exchange insurance information with the other driver. Finally, contact a personal injury lawyer for help making a claim against the at-fault driver so you can pay for your medical bills, car repairs, and other expenses.

What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor offense in Illinois?

Crimes are classified as either felonies or misdemeanors based on their severity. According to Illinois criminal law, misdemeanors are less serious offenses and are typically punishable by less than one year in county jail or fines. Felonies are more serious crimes and can result in lengthy prison sentences lasting one year or more or even for life. Some examples of misdemeanors in Illinois include petty theft and simple assault, while felonies can include aggravated assault, murder, and drug trafficking. Your lawyer can tell you if your charge is a felony or misdemeanor.

What is the statute of limitations for criminal cases in Illinois?

If someone is going to take legal action, they must do it within the statute of limitations, which is different in every state. In Illinois, the statute of limitations on criminal cases varies depending on the type of criminal offense. For certain violent felonies, such as murder, there is no statute of limitations, so charges can be filed at any time. Other felonies, like theft or assault, usually have a statute of limitations of three years. It’s generally 18 months for misdemeanors in this state.

What compensation can I get after a semi-truck accident in Illinois?

If you or a family member were severely hurt in a semi-truck accident, you should talk to a personal injury lawyer for help getting compensation. After all, your medical bills and car repairs will likely be costly, and you shouldn’t have to pay for them if you didn’t cause the crash. Depending on your expenses, your lawyer will help you get financial compensation for medical costs, property damage, lost wages, loss of earning potential, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more.

Will my criminal defense case go to trial?

If you’re worried about appearing in court before a judge, rest assured that many cases don’t get that far. Instead, they’re often settled out of court through plea agreements if they’re not dropped at the beginning of the criminal defense process. Granted, sometimes letting your case proceed to trial is the best way to prove you’re not guilty, assuming the evidence is on your side and you don’t want to take a plea deal. Your lawyers will advise you on the best strategy for your specific case.

What should I do if I’m arrested in Illinois?

If you’re arrested and charged with a criminal offense, try your best to remain calm and assert your right to remain silent immediately, since anything you say can be used against you in court. While you must identify yourself to police, you are not required to answer questions beyond that until you have an attorney present, so you should ask for a lawyer. Do not resist arrest, even if you believe the charges are false. Your lawyer will work hard to help you clear your name in the criminal justice system once released.

What are my legal options after a motorcycle accident?

If you were injured in a motorcycle crash and believe the other driver caused it, contact our personal injury lawyers for advice. You may be able to get compensation for your medical costs, motorcycle repairs, pain and suffering, lost wages, and more. If you lost a loved one in a motorcycle accident, you may be able to bring a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party. This could get you compensated for your loved one’s hospital bills, funeral and burial costs, and the loss of their income if you depend on it. Call our Chicago law firm to discuss your motorcycle accident claim.
