Criminal Cases We Defend in Southern Illinois

Aggravated DUI causing great bodily harm, misdemeanor DUI, statutory summary suspension hearings, MDDP, BAIID, and full license reinstatement. A DUI conviction can mean jail time, license revocation, ignition interlock devices, and a permanent criminal record that affects employment and insurance

First degree murder, attempt murder, armed robbery, home invasion, arson, and aggravated battery. These charges carry decades in prison — many with mandatory minimum sentences and truth-in-sentencing requirements that eliminate early release.

Predatory criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse, and failure to register. These charges carry mandatory prison sentences and lifetime sex offender registration.

Aggravated domestic battery (strangulation, GBH), domestic battery, stalking, and orders of protection. Beyond prison time, a conviction triggers firearm restrictions, immigration consequences, and can devastate custody proceedings.

Aggravated battery/discharge of a firearm, unlawful possession by repeat offender, and UPW by felon. Illinois weapons charges carry mandatory minimums of 3-15 years with no probation eligibility.

Unlawful possession of controlled substances, delivery and manufacturing charges, and cannabis offenses. Erin fights for dismissals, Drug Court alternatives, and diversionary programs.

Burglary, residential burglary, retail theft, and theft from person. Property crimes range from Class A misdemeanors to Class 1 felonies — carrying up to 15 years in prison.

Detention hearings, transfer to adult court, extended jurisdiction prosecutions, and sex offender registry removal. The juvenile system operates differently with unique procedures and protections.

Aggravated reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, driving on a suspended or revoked license. Serious traffic offenses can carry felony charges and mandatory license revocation.

Illinois law allows certain arrests and convictions to be expunged or sealed — removing barriers to employment, housing, and professional licensing.
