About Peter
Biography
If you have had your Driver's License suspended or revoked, I can help you obtain driving relief. I have conducted numerous hearings at the Secretary of State and helped thousands of people with there Driver's license.
If you have been charged with a crime, whether it is a DUI, misdemeanor, felony DUI or the most serious felony charges, you need an aggressive attorney to fight for your rights. My job is to compile the most effective defense to obtain a not guilty.
I have over 28 years of experience in the criminal field. I was the former Chief of Felony as an Assistant State's Attorney and have the unique qualification as a former Illinois Assistant Attorney General. As an Assistant State's Attorney, I have conducted numerous training to Police Officers and Detectives for DUI Investigation, Sex Offenses, Theft Related Offenses, Violent Crimes and Securities Fraud. To simply state it, I have trained hundreds of officers in the latest techniques. I know how to defend you against the crimes with which you are charged. I have successfully defended clients ranging from DUI to serious felonies, including Aggravated DUI. I was an instructor with the National White Collar Crime Center and have instructed Detectives from Maine to California.
I have tried cases in numerous counties with over one hundred trials to my resume. I have tried misdemeanor DUIs, felony DUIs and numerous other charges including murder. I have the experience to fight for your rights. I represent clients in numerous counties, including DuPage, Kane, DeKalb, Kendall and Cook County.
I was awarded "DUI Prosecutor of the Year"
I have had the privilege to travel to numerous counties in the State of Illinois regarding criminal cases. This experience has exposed me to numerous Judges and Prosecutors. By traveling the state regarding DUI and serious felony cases, I have an advantage in defending your criminal case. This diverse experience in DUI and serious felony cases has forced me to be prepared for the unexpected. You need this diverse experience when you have been charged with Misdemeanors, DUI, Aggravated DUI or any other felony charge.
