It is important to contact an attorney to begin building your defense as soon as possible.
Issues relevant to your defense may include:
- Identity: Did the officers have the right suspect? Did they arrest the wrong person for the crime?

Your case and defense against the prosecution
A state could lose their case for failing to disclose evidence or not doing a thorough investigation. Our attorneys will interview witnesses named in the police report and check facts to ensure officers properly documented witness statements. Any inconsistent statements by state witnesses will end up hurting the credibility of the state's case.
We also work with a private criminal investigator on a regular basis. He is a former Chief of Police of Chicago and has extensive experience in crimes investigation. As your attorneys, we have the resources, experience and tenacity to effectively protect your rights and defeat criminal charges involving burglary or theft.
