About Peter
I am a private criminal defense attorney, which means I handle many different types of cases where the police and the government are involved. I help you if you have been charged with a crime, pulled over for DUI, or cited for a traffic ticket.
YOU HAVE RIGHTS
Remember, you are innocent unless proven guilty, and the burden of proving your guilt rests entirely upon the government. Further, keep in mind that it may be possible to reduce some of the charges against you to a less severe offense or to otherwise negotiate an alternative resolution to your case prior to trial. A criminal offense in Illinois should be taken seriously. If convicted, it may have adverse effects in your life, such as:
-This crime may show up on a criminal background check
-Possible loss of your current employment and your reputation
-Being subject to hefty fines, potential time in jail and hours of community service
-The potential of being passed over or denied acceptance by future schools, employers and other organizations that review criminal backgrounds.
Prior to staring my firm, I worked for a nationally recognized private criminal defense attorney. During that time, I represented hundreds upon hundreds of individuals facing the criminal justice system. All my courtroom experience comes from private practice – I’ve had to earn my client’s trust and respect. I’ve never worked for the government. I know how to defend clients.
As a criminal defense attorney and Army veteran, I have personally handled nearly every criminal case imaginable. I know the strategies used by prosecutors and, more importantly, I know how to defend against them. When looking for a lawyer, you need aggressive and experienced counsel to successfully defend your rights.
When it comes to defending these allegations against you, I can provide you with the peace of mind of knowing you are making the right decisions to move on with your life. Please call our office at (708) 705-9655 to schedule a FREE case evaluation, and together we will discuss the details of what happened and how I can help you.
