Experienced Defense Attorneys Located in Chicago, IL
For many people, the possibility of being arrested and charged with a crime is not a major concern. However, there are many cases where people may find themselves involved in criminal investigations based on activities that they did not realize were illegal, mistakes that were made in the moment, or situations that got out of control. If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you may be uncertain of what you should do next, how you can protect your rights, and how you can avoid the consequences that may come with a conviction.
The penalties you may face if you are convicted of a misdemeanor or felony offense can be severe. Because of this, it is crucial to obtain representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible after an arrest. At the Law Offices of James F. DiQuattro, we understand the difficulties that people often face in these situations, and we are dedicated to protecting the rights of our clients and helping them resolve criminal cases successfully. To learn more about how we can assist with your case, please contact us and set up a free consultation by calling 312-627-9482.
Sex Crimes
Charges of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and similar crimes can have lasting detrimental effects on your life after a conviction. Many of these crimes are charged as felonies, which can carry long prison sentences in Illinois. Our firm provides aggressive representation and proactive counsel in these kinds of cases, working to mitigate the damage and avoid a conviction whenever possible.
Gun & Weapon Crimes
The use of a weapon during a criminal offense can lead to drastically increased sentencing in Illinois. Illinois also has strict laws regarding responsible gun ownership, possession, and storage, which can lead to criminal charges when violated. If you have been accused of a weapons or firearms offense, our attorneys can represent you in court, examining all avenues of defense.
Violent Crimes
Crimes of violence tend to carry harsh penalties in Illinois. Prosecutors often look at the defendant's alleged intent and the extent of the harm caused when deciding how to charge these offenses. At Law Offices of James F. DiQuattro, we are prepared to advocate for you in a variety of violent crime cases, including homicide cases.
Federal Crimes
When an offense crosses state lines or national borders, the federal government is likely to get involved. Federal prosecutors often pursue these kinds of cases aggressively, which means that a strong defense is paramount. Our firm represents defendants accused of federal white collar crimes, drug trafficking offenses, and other violations at the federal level.
Experience Matters Most When Your Future Is on the Line
Without an attorney on your side, it is easy to make mistakes during a criminal case. While you may believe that it would be best to cooperate with police officers, answer their questions, and provide them with any information requested, doing so could have dire consequences. Anything you say when speaking to police or anything you do when being questioned could potentially be used against you. If you are convicted, you could face numerous penalties, including large fines, a prison sentence, probation or court supervision, a permanent criminal record, and, in some cases, the requirement to register as a sex offender. By securing representation from the Law Offices of James F. DiQuattro, you can make sure you are taking the correct steps to defend yourself. We can provide you with the legal help you need during your case, including:
- Hands-on criminal defense representation
- Always going the extra mile to obtain the best verdict possible
- Always keeping you informed throughout the legal process
Our skilled and experienced attorney will fight to protect your rights and help you avoid any words or actions that could be incriminating. We will work with you to build a winning defense strategy. Ideally, we will work to have charges dismissed or secure a "not guilty" verdict, but if necessary, we can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or minimize the potential penalties you may face. We can also assist with appeals, and we can help you take steps to clear your criminal record through expungement or other forms of relief.
