Aggressive DuPage County Criminal Defense Attorneys

Wheaton, Illinois Criminal Defense Legal Representation

Since thousands of cases are filed each year, many families will need an experienced criminal defense attorney at one time or another. Even a minor case can mean lengthy incarceration, intense court-ordered supervision and/or high fines and penalties, as well as public embarrassment, major inconvenience and increased stress levels. An aggressive attorney can reduce or eliminate some or all of these things.

At the Law Offices of Salvatore C. Miglore & Associates, we understand the negative consequences of a criminal case, and we will work hard to help ensure the best possible outcome. Whether we determine the best course of action involves negotiating a reduced sentence with the prosecutor, getting the case thrown out on a technicality, or exonerating you in front of a judge or jury, our criminal defense lawyers will provide the necessary support you expect from a skilled legal team.

Because criminal defense is such an important part of our practice, our legal professionals routinely handle a variety of matters in both state and federal courts, including but not limited to:

• Juvenile Crime: Many children who appear in juvenile court are eligible for a pretrial diversion program, so even if there is no legal defense there may not be a criminal conviction on their records.
• Property Crimes: The vast majority of cases in state criminal court are property crimes, such as arson, theft, and misuse of property.
• White Collar Crimes: This broad category includes most nonviolent property crimes, such as fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering.
• Murder and Violent Crimes: Effective pretrial investigation, thorough legal research and a plausible theory of the case may be the keys to an effective defense in these cases.
• Drug Crimes: The "war on drugs" is still going strong, and drug convictions can often lead to harsh sentences, whether you are charged with simple possession or complex distribution.
• Traffic Violations: A ticket can mean high fines, higher insurance rates, and perhaps drivers' license suspension, depending on the severity of the crime. For example, if convicted with DUI in Illinois, you may have your driving privileges revoked and be required to pay a fine. We can work to reinstate your driver's license or have the violation removed from your record through a process known as expungement.
• Federal and State RICO: A complicated RICO case demands an attorney with specific experience in these matters.
• Sex Crimes: Sexual assault, indecent exposure, and sexual abuse are just a few of the sex crimes that we handle. We also represent clients who have been added to sex offender registries after criminal convictions and those that have alleged to have participated in Internet sex crimes.

In addition to the trial itself, our aggressive attorneys can represent you at an ALR or other pretrial hearing. Our knowledgeable criminal defense lawyers are available for appeals and work with our clients to determine the best course of action for their situation.
