Defending Your Rights and Freedom
Our attorneys have represented a large number of people in criminal defense cases in the Peoria area. We know that every case is different.
We will review the evidence as it exists and its strengths and weaknesses. We will provide an honest assessment of your case, the legal strategies available and the possible outcomes of those strategies. You will have the information you need to make intelligent decisions in your case.
If your best option is to defend the charge at trial, we will use our experience and skills to fight for your freedom. If your preference is a negotiated outcome that mitigates the penalties, we will seek to obtain that for you.
Alternatives to Conviction and Jail
In Illinois, there are a number of alternatives to conviction and jail. For example, a court supervision outcome can keep your record clean provided you stay out of trouble. In drug cases, a treatment outcome may be possible that gets you the help you need without jail time. These and other programs can give you a second chance and the opportunity to get your life in order.
Essig Law Office has obtained these types of outcomes in numerous cases. We understand how to work with prosecutors to obtain them. If you qualify and would like to obtain an alternative outcome, we will work to achieve it for you.
