The Law Offices of James F. DiQuattro offers experienced assistance for those seeking representation in their fight against criminal allegations. Our firm is dedicated to comprehending the intricacies within each type of defense and to implementing tailored strategies designed specifically for your case.

Sex Crimes

The term 'sex crimes' encompasses sexual assault, rape, or child pornography, amongst other offenses. An accusation related to sexual assault or any other sex crime can be profoundly damaging both legally and personally. These cases often entail severe punishments if convicted, including imprisonment, hefty fines, mandatory registration as a sex offender, and significant social stigma.

Violent Criminal Offenses

Violent crime generally refers to offenses involving physical harm inflicted upon another individual. This can include aggravated assault, robbery, and homicide. Penalties depend largely on the specific type and severity of the crime committed and the presence of aggravating circumstances such as using a weapon during the offense.

Drug Crimes

Illinois law imposes severe penalties towards drug-related crimes, including possession, trafficking, or manufacturing of narcotics. The scope and potential implications can significantly vary based on several factors, such as the substances involved and the nature and severity of the allegations at play.

DUI/DWI Offences

DUI (driving under the influence) and DWI (driving while intoxicated) refer to the act of operating a vehicle while impaired by either alcohol or other drugs that could compromise the driver's mental or motor skills. At the Law Offices of James F. DiQuattro, our team can employ our extensive understanding of DUI/DWI law and related proceedings to conserve your rights, driving privileges, and potentially your freedom.

Weapons Crimes

Regardless of whether it is a question of illegal possession, trafficking, or use, weapons-related charges have hefty legal repercussions. Particularly strict rules apply surrounding firearms where even minor infractions can lead to significant penalties, including jail time.

White Collar Offenses

White collar crime is typically associated with non-violent offenses in business or professional sectors, such as fraud, embezzlement, and insider trading. Despite their seemingly 'less harmful' nature, the consequences if found guilty could include imprisonment and restitution payments.

Domestic Violence Cases

Apart from serving potentially harsh legal punishments, domestic violence allegations have heavy social implications, making them particularly strenuous for those accused. Here at the Law Offices of James F. DiQuattro, we understand the sensitivity that surrounds these cases and provide compassionate support while relentlessly defending your rights and interests.

Theft Charges

The severity of theft crimes often depends on the value of the property involved. Laws also differentiate offenses based on circumstances such as repeated behavior or if a break-in occurred. Nevertheless, penalties could involve anything from probation and community service to time in jail.

Burglary and Robbery

The act of burglary is more than just breaking into another person's home or business premises. In its broadest sense, burglary refers to illicit entry into any structure with the intent to commit a crime, not necessarily theft. This can occur in any type of premises, ranging from a home or apartment to commercial warehouses or offices. Robbery is associated directly with taking, by force and intimidation, somebody else's assets while being near them during the act.
