As an experienced criminal defense attorney my only concern is that your rights are not violated in any way. I work to ensure you are treated fairly. My law firm has successfully handled hundreds of criminal defense cases including DUI/DWI, drug crimes and weapons charges. In every case I take, I gather the necessary information, interview any witnesses, and perform a thorough review of the case to determine if any errors were made by the arresting officer.
Because I have worked on both sides of the aisle in the criminal court system, I have a unique perspective in reviewing each case to identify any weaknesses and develop a strong argument for your defense. In many cases, I am able to get the charges reduced or even dropped. I am not afraid to take on any criminal defense issue, including:
If you have been arrested for a criminal offense, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible, preferably before speaking with the authorities. Off-site appointments can be arranged and credit cards are accepted. Payment plans can also be arranged, and most cases are taken on a flat fee basis, so you know what to expect from the beginning. My law firm offers a free, confidential initial consultation, and I am available by telephone 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Contact the Belleville, Illinois, Law Office of Michael J. Rousseau to discuss your case today.
