Criminal Charges in Illinois

When law enforcement has a crime to solve, they often cast a wide net. They pull in suspects - people who fit a profile, those who have been convicted of similar offenses in the past, and people who were close to the victim. These innocent people are then questioned, sometimes to the point that they become frightened, confused, and distraught. Though they may not be in custody yet, that can quickly change if their stressed responses arouse even the slightest amount of suspicion. Even more concerning is that an arrest can happen even if there is no real evidence against a person.

Once an arrest has been made, law enforcement officials have their target. They search for any and every possible link that connects their suspect to the crime, regardless of whether or not the defendant is actually guilty. Prosecutors may be on board at this point as well, working diligently to build a case and secure a conviction. Weeks and sometimes months or years may be spent trying to convict this one person. Needless to say, law enforcement officials will often overlook any evidence that would exonerate their suspect. After all, they have already invested time and energy into prosecuting a person they have already presumed is guilty. They want their case closed, sometimes even at the expense of an innocent person's freedom.

Our attorney strongly believes in upholding the rights afforded to you by the Constitution, including the presumption that you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. We will meticulously review your case, looking for that doubt to protect your innocence. We will safeguard your rights and aggressively protect your future.
