Illinois Violent Crimes Defense Lawyer

Defending the rights of clients charged with violent crimes in DuPage, Cook, and surrounding counties.

What you need to know about assault & battery charges.

Being charged with a violent crime is perhaps the most serious legal challenge a person can face. The moment those charges are filed, it feels like your entire world is collapsing. The weight of potential prison time, the stigma in your community, the media attention - it all creates overwhelming pressure when you're already trying to process what's happening.

Violent crime allegations in Illinois carry some of the harshest penalties in our legal system. From lengthy prison sentences to lifetime consequences that follow you even after you've served your time, these charges can permanently alter the trajectory of your life.

Many of our clients come to us feeling that they've already been judged and convicted in the court of public opinion, before they've even had their day in court.

At McMahon Law Offices, we've successfully defended clients throughout DuPage, Cook, Kane, and Will counties against the most serious violent crime allegations. Our defense team, which includes former prosecutors, understands the gravity of these charges and the aggressive approach the state takes in pursuing convictions.

Whether you're facing charges for robbery, aggravated assault, weapons offenses, kidnapping, or other serious violent crimes, we provide a vigorous defense based on a thorough investigation of all evidence. We'll examine every aspect of your case - from challenging witness credibility and forensic evidence to exploring self-defense claims and constitutional violations.
