People v. LE
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. The Police claim that they pulled his vehicle over for no headlights. Our Client allegedly was not able to produce a driver's license and was asked out of the vehicle. It was at this time that the Officers claim our Client grabbed a narcotics bag (which was in plain view on the center console) and "attempted to conceal it in his right hand." The case was dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. JR
Our Client was charged with Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance. While fighting that case, she failed to come to court for a scheduled court appearance. The Judge issued a NO BAIL warrant for her arrest. Later, the Police arrested her for another Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance case. Because our Client picked up the 2nd case while on bond for the 1st case she was facing consecutive prison sentences of 2-6 years in prison. Needless to say, the Judge was not happy with her for not coming to court, picking up a warrant, and picking up a new case. However, were were able to successfully negotiate a deal with the prosecution to resolve both cases with probation. Our Client was able to avoid prison, and if she successfully completes the probation, she can ask the Court to remove the convictions from her record like they never happened!
People v. FB
Our Client was charged with Felony Unlawful Use of a Weapon by a Convicted Felon. The Police raided our Client's deceased mother's house. They had a search warrant. They found holsters and ammunition in the front bedroom of the 1st floor. They asked our Client if there were any weapons in the house. Our Client explained that he had recently moved into the house after his mother died. Our Client told the Police that he resided on the second floor, but he knew his mother kept a gun for protection in a secret compartment in a footstool in the living room. The police searched the footstool and recovered a revolver. The Police claimed that our Client said "he kept the gun there for protection" so they charged him with its possession. The case went beyond the Preliminary Hearing Stages. However, we never stopped fighting for our Client. We took his case to trial and obtained a NOT GUILTY verdict! Our Client will be able to rest easy with this case behind him while he celebrates the upcoming holidays.

All charges were dismissed at the Preliminary Hearing.
People v. CM
Our Client was charged with DUI. He allegedly almost hit a member of the Cicero Police Department. When he was pulled over, he refused all chemical testing. He also refused to participate in any standardized field sobriety tests. As a result, his license was automatically suspended. However, due to his refusal to take a breathalyzer and refusal to participate in the field tests, the prosecution was left with little physical evidence to prove his guilt. We took our Client's case to trial. The verdict was NOT GUILTY!

People v. SF
Our Client was charged with Felony Aggravated Battery of a Police Officer and DUI. Our Client was facing up to 7 years in prison. It was alleged that our Client was involved in a traffic accident. When Officers arrived on the scene they claim our Client had red, bloodshot glassy eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol. Our Client allegedly failed the Field Sobriety Tests on scene and was arrested for DUI. While being transported to the station, our Client escaped from the handcuffs. When Officers attempted to re-cuff our Client, they claim she turned on her side and kicked and officer in the chest and jaw multiple times. At the station, our Client participated in a breath test showing a BAC of .199 (more than double the limit). We were able to convince the prosecution to offer our Client supervision on the DUI, avoiding a conviction. We also convinced the prosecution to reduce the Felony Aggravated Battery to a misdemeanor and offer probation on that charge as well. Another Felony Conviction avoided!!!

Client was a passenger in a vehicle. The police claim an unknown person approached the vehicle and engaged in what they believed to be a hand to hand narcotics transaction.
