Criminal Defense and Traffic Violations
As a criminal defense lawyer, I handle most misdemeanors and felonies, including aggravated assault. Additionally, much of my criminal defense work involves traffic offenses. Illinois has many traffic offenses that can result in jail time. In addition, the "Under 21" laws in Illinois are very strict. Since it can have a negative impact on your life for years to come, I firmly believe that no traffic ticket is too small to fight.
In addition to general criminal defense and traffic matters, I represent clients in administrative hearings for driver's license reinstatement and appearances before the Secretary of State. I have handled countless administrative hearings over the years, and I can give you an honest and frank assessment of the process, your rights and the options you have at your disposal.
Personal Bankruptcy
In my bankruptcy law practice, I handle all matters related to the filing of a personal bankruptcy petition, whether a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. I will help you understand the differences between a Chapter 7 liquidation and a Chapter 13 repayment plan, so that you can make an informed decision that is in your best interests. Contrary to popular belief, a bankruptcy filing does not have to ruin your credit!
