Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys In Cook County
The most effective criminal defense lawyers are those who have experience handling a wide range of cases. Criminal law runs the gamut, from minor traffic violations to felony DUI cases, petty shoplifting to armed robbery, simple drug possession to violent crimes that carry the potential for life sentences. A lawyer learns how to prepare the most effective defense strategy in a given case only by handling a variety of cases and seeing how various fact patterns and circumstances play out before judges and juries.
Our attorneys are committed to giving our clients all possible hope in the criminal justice system.

It’s impossible to overstate the importance of thoroughly preparing a case to go before a judge or jury. Sometimes, the smallest facts or pieces of evidence make the difference between acquittal and conviction and only through exhaustive case preparation can a lawyer ensure the strongest possible defense.
Our attorneys are relentless in the preparation of every one of our clients’ cases. This includes filing every appropriate motion in a timely manner, ensuring that witnesses are well-prepared to testify and preparing exhibits to aid the fact-finder in evaluating the evidence at hand. Unlike many firms, moreover, our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers who do not shy away from a case simply because a trial is likely or even a possibility.
These core skills play a vital role in all cases that our firm routinely handles, which include:
- Crimes against property
- Criminal misdemeanors
- Traffic violations
- Violations of parole and probation
- Expungements and sealings
Additionally, our firm is prepared to defend clients facing charges centered on DUI, drug crimes, sex crimes or violent crimes. If you or a loved one is facing serious criminal charges, we encourage you to schedule a consultation one of our three offices. We can be reached by calling 708-568-0474 or by sending an email to office@ddtlawgroup.com.
Attacking Your Misdemeanor Charges Head-On
You shouldn’t take criminal misdemeanor charges lightly, and neither should your lawyer.
Anytime our clients face penalties like fines, jail time and probation, we work vigorously first to challenge the charges in every way possible, then to minimize the impacts that a conviction is likely to have on the long term.
Whether or not this is your first run-in with the law, you may be facing a life-defining moment. We will do everything possible to steer you away from what could be a devastating turn of events and help get you back on track. Call 708-568-0474 now for a consultation.
We Take Your Freedom As Seriously As You Do
The severity of criminal misdemeanor charges can be misleading. The maximum jail time and/or fines you face may not seem serious at first, and the prosecutor handling your case may even make what sounds like an appealing offer for a plea bargain.
It takes a skilled, experienced defense attorney to know when accepting a plea bargain is truly the best course of action — and when it’s necessary to fight charges tooth and nail. Pleading guilty to take a plea deal may seem easy, but there can be longer term consequences to having a criminal conviction that you may not consider at first.
We will carefully evaluate every aspect of your case, whether you have been charged with assault, theft, battery, simple drug possession (misdemeanor drug possession would only be cannabis) or another criminal misdemeanor. If it’s truly in your best interest to work out a plea deal, we’ll work tirelessly to get you one on the very best terms. Otherwise, we’ll be ready to use our considerable trial experience to seek a more favorable result in your case.

Charged With A Property Crime? We’ll Give You A Fighting Chance.
Our firm represents people charged with misdemeanor and felony property-related crimes throughout Chicagoland, including:
- Shoplifting (retail theft)
- Residential burglary
- Robbery
- Auto theft
- Possession of a stolen motor vehicle
- Criminal damage to property
As experienced defense lawyers, we understand that while it is often possible to quickly resolve a client’s case through strategic negotiations (and most clients are happy to have their cases resolved sooner rather than later), we can never afford to act as if a case would never go to trial.

As our client, you deserve nothing but the best representation.

Why You Need Our Experienced Attorneys To Handle Your Traffic Offense
Many traffic violations carry the threat of only fines, but the financial penalties for even minor infractions can quickly grow if they’re not paid on time. Arrest warrants can even come into play in cases of serious delinquency. Certain charges, especially those involving dangerous speeding, can also carry the threat of jail time from the very start.
You might not think of a traffic violation as something that can lead to a criminal record, but it can happen. For example, with aggravated speeding (going 26 mph over the posted speed limit), you can end up with a conviction on your record if you plead guilty or are found guilty at trial. That’s why you need an experienced lawyer to evaluate your options.
Avoiding these more serious consequences is one of the main benefits of having an experienced criminal lawyer handle your case. The other reason is no less valuable: the ability to focus on your life.
Whether you’re a white collar professional, a working parent or a busy student, you may simply not have the time to successfully handle your case alone — to say nothing of navigating a confusing and complex traffic court system. When you engage our firm’s services, we can assume authority to handle every aspect of your case. This gives you the freedom to live your life while our attorneys take care of helping you move forward from your moving violation.

We Can Help Keep You On The Path To A New Beginning
Probation and parole violation cases typically fall into one of two categories. The first involves someone who fails to meet procedural terms such as attending substance abuse treatment, keeping a job or reporting as required to a probation officer. The second involves someone who is accused of committing a new criminal offense.
These cases require a combination of extensive case preparation and persuasive tactics to successfully convince a judge that a client should be allowed to continue in their rehabilitation. Cases involving procedural violations can often be resolved through careful negotiation with probation officers and judges, while those involving new crime allegations are served with our successful trial experience.
If you want to avoid falling back into the trap of the criminal justice system, we can find a way to help. Contact our Cook County firm, or call 708-568-0474 now to speak with one of our probation and parole violations lawyers.
