Practice Areas

Criminal Defense 85%

I concentrate almost exclusively on the defense of those charged with a criminal offense. I have accepted, and continue to accept, clients charged with anywhere from a Class A misdemeanor to the most serious charges in the state of Illinois, Class X felonies. I am no stranger to the courtroom. If your case calls for a trial, I thrive on the preparation and execution of a well planned trial stratagy. Furthermore, no other attorney is more versed in the challanging area of D.U.I. defense.

85%
Personal Injury 10%

I currently handle personal injury claims on a case by case basis. I do not take every possible case that walks through my door. You can rest assured that if I take your case on a contingency basis I feel certain that I am not wasting either of our time. Your case has serious merit if I accept representation.

10%
Wills and Living Wills 5%

I draft wills tailored to your individual needs. I also prepare power of attorney documents, as these forms go hand in hand. My rates for these documents is very fare, because I believe that everyone should be able to afford these priceless documents. Please don't leave your family with the burden of carrying out your wishes without explicit direction and authority. I know that it is hard to make these decisions, but it is selfish to pass that burden on to those you love.
