Representation in Multiple Types of Violent Crime Cases

With our strong understanding of Illinois law, we can help address multiple types of violent crime charges, including:

• Assault: Intimidating behavior, verbal threats, or other actions that allegedly caused someone to fear that they would suffer harm can lead to charges of assault. We can help you demonstrate that these accusations are unfounded.
• Battery: You could be charged with this offense if you intentionally injured someone else or even if you just made brief physical contact in a way that may have been offensive or aggressive. Our lawyers can help you determine the best defense against these accusations, such as by showing that you were acting out of self-defense.
• Domestic Violence: There are many situations where family members may be accused of committing abuse, intentionally injuring someone in their household, or otherwise threatening or intimidating a spouse, partner, child, or other family member. If you are accused of this type of offense, you may face criminal charges and orders of protection that can place severe restrictions on your life. Our attorneys can provide the defense you need in these situations, helping you avoid long-term problems that could affect your family.
• Robbery: This form of theft may be considered a violent crime if it involves accusations of taking money or property from someone through the use of violence or threats. Our lawyers can provide a strong defense in these situations by contesting accusations and showing that the alleged actions were misinterpreted.
• Carjacking: If you have been accused of stealing a vehicle from someone through force or by threatening to harm them, you will likely face serious felony charges. Our attorneys can provide you with the defense needed to address these accusations and help you resolve your case successfully.
• Homicide: If you are accused of causing someone else's death, you could be arrested for murder or manslaughter. First-degree murder involving intentionally killing someone is one of the most serious offenses anyone may face, and a conviction could potentially lead to a sentence of life in prison. Other homicide charges are also very serious, and even if you are accused of unintentionally killing someone, you may still face a lengthy prison sentence. Our lawyers have the experience needed to defend against these types of charges, and we will make sure your rights are protected throughout your case.
