DuPage County Gang-Related Assault Defense Lawyers

Illinois Street-Gang Sentencing Enhancements

If you are arrested for engaging in violent crime involving intimidation like assault or physical battery, you can be exposed to a felony record, incarceration, fines and other penalties. The punishment can increase significantly if your assault is gang-related, which can merit a penalty enhancement. Gang-related assaults might even expose you to prosecution under the Illinois Street Gang RICO Act. Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors are especially aggressive in prosecuting gang crimes involving violence.

Understanding Gang-Related Assault Charges under Illinois Law

Many people facing assault charges are confused because they neither harmed the purported victim nor did they even make physical conduct. However, an assault is committed by engaging in conduct that places another person in reasonable fear of an imminent battery. If a person swings to throw a punch but misses, this conduct constitutes an assault. If you actually make contact, you can be charged with a battery. Our DuPage County criminal defense lawyers carefully investigate the facts to identify the most promising defense strategies that might include misidentification, lack of an imminent threat, Miranda violations, or dishonest witness accounts.
