Skokie Criminal Defense

Regardless of innocence or guilt, being charged with a crime is a stressful situation that can leave you with a feeling of uncertainty. In fact, out of fear and/or confusion, accused individuals sometimes waive their constitutional rights without even realizing it. For example, in the attempt to be helpful, some individuals volunteer information by directly communicating with police officers after being arrested. However, such communication may be used against them in court so long as it was not obtained in violation of their constitutional rights. As such, when facing a criminal charge, it is crucial that you speak with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible following arrest. Attorney David L. Freidberg is a highly regarded Skokie Criminal Defense Attorney who understands how important it is to preserve your constitutional rights.

Additionally, we help our clients seek expunction or sealing of prior criminal convictions. This is something that helps individuals overcome a criminal past, removing a scar that has plagued them for years. While not every individual will be eligible to have their Skokie criminal conviction expunged or sealed, we will investigate all possible ways to help you overcome past and present criminal matters.

Defending Your Skokie Criminal Charge

We approach all criminal charges by first determining if there are grounds for dismissal. As part of your conversations with us regarding the Illinois and/or federal criminal charge(s) against you, we will uncover key facts that may prove to be helpful in having your criminal charge(s) dismissed. There are a few ways in which a criminal charge may be dismissed. First, if a Skokie law enforcement official violated your constitutional rights in any way during the course of your arrest, detainment, and interrogation, there may be valid grounds to seek dismissal of the criminal charge(s) against you. Second, if you have been wrongfully accused of a crime you simply did not commit, we will search for evidence to prove your innocence, ultimately seeking dismissal of the criminal charge(s) against you. We may also be able to seek dismissal of your criminal charge if there is simply a lack of evidence to link you to the crime.

It is not always possible to have a criminal charge dismissed. In such cases, we will seek a resolution that will result in the minimum amount of punishment possible given the facts and circumstances of your Skokie criminal matter. Of course, the more serious the crime is, the greater the challenge may be to having your criminal charge reduced to a lesser offense. However, with the help of a qualified attorney, you are leaving your criminal matter in the hands of a strong advocate who utilizes all resources possible to provide clients with the legal representation that they need and deserve to overcome an Illinois and/or federal criminal charge.

Oftentimes, individuals are left in the dark as to the progress of a particular criminal matter they are involved in.

Mr. Freidberg does not ignore his clients’ questions and concerns regarding the progress of their criminal matters. While it is not always possible to provide each client with a daily update on a particular case, he works hard to ensure his clients are fully informed of the progress of their criminal case.

Some Skokie residents believe that the larger the law firm is, the better the legal representation will be.

In fact, many individuals appreciate the fact that they will be able to speak directly their attorney when calling to discuss a Skokie criminal matter, and not speaking with a different attorney or legal staff member each time they call. Mr. Freidberg understands just how important it is to ensure his clients are happy, and he will take no short cuts when it comes to providing his clients with superior legal representation.
