COOK COUNTY CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

REPRESENTING CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS IN CHICAGO & ALL OF COOK COUNTY

If you or someone you know is facing arrest or has been arrested, immediately consulting with a criminal defense attorney may ensure the best possible outcome. Once an arrest is made, the government and police have already determined you are guilty. However, you are still presumed innocent and have legal rights that must be protected. It is my job to protect those rights. You do not have to prove you are innocent. By law, the government must prove you are guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

False accusations require an enthusiastic and aggressive criminal attorney to fight the case. I am not a “cop-out” attorney. I fight for my clients.

I am not afraid to challenge the government while protecting your rights. If the government charges you with a crime, it should be prepared to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury. I hold the government to that standard. A guilty plea should always be your last option. In my practice it is exactly that, the last option.

HOW I CAN HELP

A REAL ATTORNEY FOR REAL PEOPLE

I understand that facing a criminal matter can be a very stressful time for everyone involved. I am here to help. In my practice I represent real people with real problems. No two cases are identical and no client is treated as just a file.

I handle cases professionally. I will explain the applicable law to everyone involved in great detail, and in language you will be able to understand. I do not make promises other than to aggressively represent you in defense of your case.   

All matters are investigated thoroughly. If it appears your rights were violated by either an illegal arrest or an unlawful search, I will seek an immediate dismissal of your case. Again, I am not afraid to take a case to trial. You have the right to have your case heard by a jury of twelve people from the community. Only the jury can determine guilt or innocence, not the prosecutor or the police.

I want to help. Call today for a free consultation.
