FAQ

Frequently Asked Criminal Defense Questions

Get answers to common questions about criminal charges in DuPage County.

What should I do right after being arrested?
Stay silent and ask for a lawyer right away. Do not answer questions. Do not do any roadside test. And do not make any statements without your lawyer present. Try to remember everything about the traffic stop and write it down later.
Will I go to jail if convicted?
It depends on the charges and your criminal history. Many first-time offenders can avoid jail through plea negotiations, supervision, or diversion programs. We fight to keep our clients out of jail whenever possible.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?
Costs vary based on case complexity, but we offer payment plans to make representation affordable. The cost of a good lawyer is often less than the long-term consequences of a conviction.
Can I represent myself in criminal court?
While you have the right to represent yourself, it's rarely advisable. Criminal cases involve complex laws and procedures that require legal expertise to navigate effectively.
What's the difference between a misdemeanor and felony?
Misdemeanors carry less than one year in jail, while felonies carry over one year in prison. Felonies have more serious long-term consequences for employment, housing, and other opportunities.
How long will my case take?
Case timelines vary greatly depending on complexity and court schedules. Simple cases may resolve in a few months, while complex felonies can take over a year. We keep you informed throughout the process.
