Fierce Advocacy for Serious Charges
Felonies are the most serious criminal offenses, with potential for imprisonment exceeding one year in state or federal facilities, plus significant fines. These cases include homicide, sexual assault, armed robbery, and major drug crimes.
Guiding You Through Life’s Transitions
Family law matters involving marriage and its dissolution require sensitivity and skill. We handle cases such as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, divorce proceedings, legal separations, and annulments.
Protecting Your Family’s Future
When it comes to your children, we provide dedicated representation in cases involving child custody and support, adoption, paternity disputes, termination of parental rights, and juvenile law issues.
Comprehensive Support for Complex Issues
Beyond marriage and child-related matters, our firm excels in a range of family law challenges, including domestic violence cases, domestic partnerships, guardianship proceedings, and name changes.
Defending Your Rights with Determination
Have you been charged? From misdemeanors to felonies, our law firm has the knowledge and resources to form a formidable defense for the wrongly accused.
Navigating Infractions with Precision
Infractions are the least severe legal violations, often involving minor breaches of local or state regulations. Common examples of traffic law infractions include speeding, failing to yield, and parking violations. These cases typically result in fines but do not lead to jail time.

Our skilled attorneys combine deep legal expertise with a client-first approach, crafting personalized defense strategies to protect your freedom and future. We understand that the facts of every criminal case and the individual characteristics of each accused defendant are unique. Keeping in mind the uniqueness of both the case and the client, we pay attention to all details, no matter how minor, in our effort to completely understand the facts of the case, and the individual characteristics of our client.
We handle all family law matters from an initial divorce, to a child custody modification, to a modification of child support or maintenance period. There is no family law case that we do not handle.
It’s no longer necessary or required to plead any facts that would allege one party is at fault in causing the divorce. Illinois now only allows the pleading of the existence of irreconcilable differences as the basis for the divorce: This benefits the client in many ways, including not having to prove allegations of infidelity, adultery, or other matters that could cause the dissolution of a marriage.
Absolutely. We aim to defuse as much tension , strife, and anger as possible so that we can move the case forward in a timely manner. Our experience shows that allowing high conflict matters to persist and continue during dependency of a case only delays the outcome. We find that delaying the outcome is almost never in our client’s best interests.
We defend all DUI or DWI cases, including aggravated DUI involving great bodily harm or death, aggravated DUI for repeat offenses, first DUI, breath refusal, DUI and DUI involving property damage accidents.
We handle any and all drug related charges. Our firm has experience in all drug charges; from the most serious international drug trafficking to the least serious misdemeanor possession of cannabis.
There are any number of different methods we can employ to protect your driving privileges. However, these methods are both case and fact dependent. The best way for us to protect your driving privileges is to have a complete understanding of your driving background and the facts of the charges currently against you. Only then can we advise you properly on the course that we feel is best in order to protect your for driving privileges.
Absolutely! We have more than 30 years of appearing before the Secretary of State of Illinois and have a very high success rate in obtaining relief from the revocation of drivers licenses due to DUI convictions.
We handle all traffic violations from the most serious like fleeing and eluding, to the least serious such as driving without a seat belt.
By retaining our services, it is likely that you may not have to appear in court at all. The attorney will appear on your behalf, obtain the relevant evidence against you, review the evidence with you and discuss with the prosecutor. None of this rules out the possibility of a trial on the case if the client insists on his innocence.
I have experience defending a wide variety of federal criminal offenses including: International drug trafficking, sex trafficking, child pornography, kidnapping, bank robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, unlawful possession of automatic weapons, unlawful trafficking of a weapon, fraud, white collar felonies and violent offenses involving guns and drugs.
You should not talk to anyone including federal agents, federal investigators, or police officers about a federal investigation without contacting this office first.
