If you have been accused of domestic violence in Chicago, you could be facing serious penalties if convicted.

If you speak with a Chicago criminal attorney from our firm today, we can discuss your case and determine how to best proceed in defending you. It is critical to have a dedicated defense lawyer to ensure that your rights are protected and that immediate action is taken to defend your case.

Law enforcement is often called to the scene of a domestic incident. They may arrest you on the spot and the information they put in their police report can affect you negatively. It is up to a knowledgeable attorney to see to it that any false information contained in the report is exposed. The accused may have been acting in self-defense, or there may be other undisclosed factors that contributed to the incident. Even if the alleged victim recants, the prosecution may still move forward with the charges. Our attorneys are former prosecutors with over a decade of experience and have had thousands of cases defending our clients. This allows them to understand how the prosecution works and how to effectively challenge the evidence against you.
