Our Chicago criminal attorneys will represent you with professionalism and skill to prove your innocence of whatever criminal charges you are facing. We are available 24/7 to help you.
OUR CHICAGO CRIMINAL DEFENSE FIRM CAN HELP
One of the reasons we win cases is because we take on fewer clients than other firms. We only take on clients who we think we can help. If we don’t think we can help you, then we don’t take you on as a client. Our goal is to provide the best level of customer service possible to each and every client. This is one of the main reasons why clients refer us to their friends, family members, and loved ones. We offer a risk free consultation over the phone, or in person. During the consultation, you can ask us anything you’d like. We discuss things like how to get the case dismissed, how we can help craft a plea deal etc. If you just want a second opinion – we can provide that as well. Once you take advantage of this risk free consultation, you’ll understand why you should work with us. We have numerous office locations, and we can meet you at any one of them. Remember, even if you’ve been falsely accused – you still should hire a private criminal defense lawyer. All defendants who are accused of a crime are required by law to have legal representation. Often, defendants will go to court with a pro bono attorney. The Chicago criminal attorney doesn’t have your best interests at heart. That pro bono attorney works for the state, and is assigned from a local attorney pool. It means the pro bono attorney has a relationship he/she has to preserve with the prosecutions office, and it means he/she will not try to win your case if it causes a problem with that relationship.
