Whatever the felony charges or allegations involved, I am a dedicated criminal defense attorney prepared to investigate, negotiate and litigate on your child's behalf.
With my 25-year background in felony criminal defense for people accused of a wide range of crimes including capital murder, I am well prepared to fight for the future of your child. My skills extend to the intricacies of our legal system, including options for alternative sentencing, expungements, and other means of protecting my clients' interests and criminal records. To discuss your specific problem and needs in a free consultation, please contact me.
Finding the Best Path to Acquittal, Reduced Consequences or Rehabilitation
I bring the same energy and dedication to juvenile felony defense as I do to murder cases and high-stakes appeals. Whether your child is accused of a violent property crime such as armed robbery or home invasion, a sex offense, or a felony drug crime, I am prepared to fight for acquittal or build the best possible case for a sentence you can live with.
My extensive work in capital cases is a tremendous asset as I present key evidence in favor of alternative sentencing and rehabilitation for juveniles — often including personal history, school records, and expert psychological evaluations or testimony. I am familiar with the courts and officials throughout Northern Illinois, including those throughout the Chicago area and Cook County.
