I am a former criminal prosecutor who aggressively handles jury and bench trials in front of various judges. We are a full service criminal defense law firm - consisting of handling successful and rigorous defense of high-profile drug offenses, murder charges, violent crimes, sex crimes, white collar crimes; misdemeanor - including DUI and drug-related offenses.
I obtained a not guilty jury verdict in trial in Madison County, IL in a first-degree murder charge.
I also recently presented the target witness before a Granid Jury in a murder investigation, in which a finding of NO TRUE BILL was returned against him, resulting in no first-degree murder charges brought against my client.
I have successfully prepared and argued appeals before the Illinois Appellate Court and Illinois Supreme Court.
I am licensed in Illinois and I serve the Metro-East, including Madison, St. Clair, Monroe, Clinton, Jersey, Macoupin, Greene, Effingham, Fayette, and Bond Counties.

He's one hell of a lawyer!
Robert Bas is thorough, trustworthy and overall an excellent lawyer. I was very satisfied with his services, price and the outcome of my case. I cannot thank him enough and would recommend him to anyone looking for legal help.

Caring and competent attorney

Great Job
Rob helped me get my entire DUI dropped! He always kept me informed of the case and what could happen. He worked really hard for me and it paid off! His fee was outstanding for the work he did as well

Excellent representation!
Mr. Bas took over for a former attorney, and within a short matter of time, got me the results i was hoping for. He was conscientious, detail-oriented and always kept me informed. In court, Mr. Bas was aggressive, yet respectful and to-the-point. As a result, I get to spend more time with my son. ...
