Criminal Attorney Illinois
Attorneys Who Fight for the Best Possible Outcome
The situation may seem bleak when you are arrested, but no matter what the circumstances of the charges against you are, this is no time to give up. You need skilled legal representation from an attorney who will fight aggressively for the best possible outcome. Johnson Law Group is a team of dedicated criminal defense lawyers in Central Illinois. With over 100 years of combined experience, we have helped clients through all types of criminal charges, both misdemeanor and felony.
Several members of our team are former prosecutors. We know how the District Attorney’s Office builds its cases against defendants, and what a skilled defense attorney can do to counter their strategies. Remember that you don’t have to speak to the prosecutor or to law enforcement without your attorney present. In fact, it is advised that you not discuss the situation with anyone until you’ve met with a lawyer.
Whether it’s a felony or misdemeanor, a criminal charge is nothing to take lightly. A conviction can have lifelong consequences, even if there was no jail or prison sentence. You deserve to have someone looking after you and your best interests. Remember that you are innocent until proven guilty, and you have a right to tell your side of the story in court.
