Domestic Battery Attorneys

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.

Case Results

Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance

Aggravated Battery
A client was acquitted following trial when the Judge ruled the State failed to prove their case after the Officer was cross-examined. The client avoided a felony conviction, jail time and the loss of his job.

Attempted Murder
A client charged with Attempted Murder who faced a prison term of 20-60 years in IDOC was released after only serving 120 days in a downstate boot camp.

Breath Refusal Case Won
• A first offender was found not guilty following a bench trial even though the Officer testified that the defendant didn't pass any of the Field Sobriety Tests. Uniquely, the Officer also testified that our client had red, bloodshot eyes, strong odor of alcohol and slurred speech. The trial Judge ruled that although the defendant might have been under the influence of alcohol, the totality of the circumstances did not amount to a conviction.
