Our experience and insight into these cases has allowed us to achieve a 96 percent dismissal rate in misdemeanor cases. Our Wheaton domestic violence attorneys understand the law and the way prosecutors approach these cases. Once we understand your situation, we can take immediate steps to protect your rights and help you get the results you deserve.
A Dangerous Misunderstanding
Some people make the terrible mistake of believing that if the alleged victim does not show up for court, the case will be automatically dismissed. Illinois state's attorneys will not dismiss the charges and may go so far as to have the judge issue a warrant for the arrest of the alleged victim to compel them to testify against you. You need a skilled attorney to guide you through the process and win your case.
You should not attempt to negotiate with prosecutors or go to court alone. Prosecutors know that people who represent themselves are at a disadvantage. The benefit of having helped thousands of clients facing misdemeanor charges is that we know what works and what doesn't. We can identify the problems in the prosecution's arguments and use them to your advantage.
