Law Firm Overview

Our firm is committed to providing the highest quality representation to our clients. We represent clients in all types of Criminal and Civil matters in both Illinois Federal and State Courts. When our firm accepts professional responsibility for a case, we strive to provide our clients with professional and aggressive representation.

If you are charged with a crime, your life, liberty, or property can be at stake. The government has extensive resources at their control in order to further their goal of succeeding in a conviction. Our firm understands the importance of having someone to aggressively defend your rights as the accused in all criminal matters. We have successfully defended clients in all types of criminal cases including murder, drug cases and other types of felonies, as well as misdemeanors, driving under the influence and traffic offense cases.

Likewise civil disputes can be complex and demanding to address. We have experience in many different areas of civil legal representation including administrative law, licensure, contracts disputes, construction litigation, and insurance disputes. Our firm also provides representation in family law, divorce proceedings and child support issues.
