About
- Criminal defense lawyers provide an essential service to the public and I feel privileged to be part of that community
- Specifically with regard to criminal records law, I have come to realize that people desperately need help in cleaning off their past records in order to obtain employment, housing, professional licensure, restore previously forfeited rights, etc
- I came to realize early on in my career that not very many Illinois attorneys focus on this important area of the law, and this was one of the main reasons I launched my own firm in February 2010
- Even worse, I saw many instances of bad or erroneous legal advice being given to criminal defendants in this highly nuanced area of law
- I quickly realized that there was an opportunity for a boutique law firm such as mine to develop and thrive
- More importantly, I saw an opportunity to help individuals better themselves both personally and professionally
- I am honored to be able to provide this invaluable service to my fellow Illinois citizens
- I take great pride in my expungement, sealing and clemency petitions alike and have a proven track record of success with each type of petition
- Over the years I have grown my practice to include representation for individuals charged with a wide range of criminal offenses, from traffic tickets to misdemeanors to felonies, violent or otherwise
- I have negotiated many favorable plea deals and tried multiple cases, depending upon each individual client's wants and needs
- I also work with individuals looking more specifically to restore their firearms ownership rights/privileges by preparing denial and revocation appeals to the Illinois State Police's FOID Card Review Board (previously ISP's Director of State Police.) Please do not hesitate to reach out me if you are in need of one or more of these services
- I promise I will fight for you and I hope you can become one of my many satisfied clients!
