About Kulmeet
Biography
In my law practice, deep expertise meets unwavering dedication. With decades of experience navigating the complexities of Illinois Criminal and Juvenile law, I have built a reputation as a trusted advocate and advisor. As an adjunct faculty member at Chicago-Kent College of Law, I am not only shaping the next generation of legal professionals but also staying at the forefront of legal developments. My leadership roles in the Illinois Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Illinois State Bar Assocation reflect my commitment to advancing the profession, ensuring lawyers across the state remain informed and prepared for the ever-evolving legal landscape. When you work with me you gain a partner who combines knowledge, insight, and a passion for achieving the best outcomes for you and your case.
I am dedicated to obtaining the best results for my clients. My decades of experience in handling thousands of felony cases as well as my leadership in the area of legal education give my clients confidence when navigating through the criminal legal system. I look forward to helping you.
I have extensive experience in the criminal legal system. I have experience representing juveniles in delinquency proceedings as well as adults in felony cases. I have done nearly 70 jury trials (more than half were murder cases) and literally hundreds of felony bench trials in Illinois.
From transfer hearings to extended juvenile jurisdicition hearings, I have participated in all phases of represention in juvenile justice proceedings.
