Criminal Defense
Hire an attorney competent in criminal law practice. Do not represent yourself in court. If you cannot afford an attorney, ask for the appointment of a public defender. A competent attorney will always seek for an alternative to a conviction.
DUI/DWI
Prosecutor for Madison County, Ilinois, in his early years of practice. He literally wrote the manual on police procedure for a DUI arrest.
Traffic Violations
The answer depends on many factors. Drivers under the age of 21 may face a different set of rules, as they do in Illinois, where two convictions in a two-year period cause a suspension. Commercial drivers may be endangering their livelihood by pleading guilty: speeding tickets of 15 above the limit are considered SERIOUS and count toward disqualification of a person’s commercial Driver's License (CDL). Others may face an increase in insurance premiums.
Sex Crimes
Sealing of the arrest and conviction. The effect is the same as that of an expungement, but when a record is sealed the law enforcement agency retains the records on file. Convictions for crimes of violence and sex crimes cannot be sealed.
Burglary
Theft
Misdemeanors
Illinois misdemeanors range from Class C, the lowest, to Class A, punishable by up to 364 days in the county jail. The lowest level of felony is a Class 4 felony, punishable for 1-3 years in prison. Most felony cases are Class 4, Class 3, and Class 2, which carry a range of 3-7 years in prison. A Class 1 felony carries a range of 4-10 years. Class X felonies carry a 6-30 year range. The highest level of felony is murder, which carries a minimum of 20 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison. The death penalty in Illinois was abolished in 2011. Less serious, non-violent offenders end up serving 50 percent or less of their sentences. Under Illinois' Truth in Sentencing Laws, serious, violent offenders serve 85 percent or more of their sentences.
