“Repeaters” Need Strong Representation

If you are facing charges in Chicago and you have a previous criminal history, only a tough, smart, and aggressive Chicago criminal attorney can obtain the best possible outcome in your case. Despite the familiar refrain that anyone accused of a crime is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, if you have a previous history of arrests, the implicit presumption made by law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and juries will likely be that you are guilty again.

 

The judicial system can be difficult enough to make your way through unscathed without the significant added burden of a past criminal record. Unfortunately, if you are considered a “repeater,” you will have a much more difficult time proving your innocence. Fair or not, that is a fact, which is why having an aggressive Chicago criminal attorney at your side is critically important when you need a stalwart defender to protect your rights and your freedom. A good Chicago criminal attorney will do the thorough investigative work necessary to build a solid defense for you.

 

Despite the fact that you may be innocent, it seems that often times in Chicago, you are considered guilty until proven innocent with the skill and expertise of a Chicago criminal attorney, especially if you have a past record. Experienced and tenacious, Andrew M. Weisberg is the Chicago criminal attorney who can help you to achieve the best outcome possible in your situation. Call the Law Office of Andrew M. Weisberg today to for sound legal counsel and dauntless legal representation.

 

If you have been arrested in Chicago, no matter how straightforward or complex the charge, Chicago criminal attorney Andrew M. Weisberg has a well-earned reputation for tough, aggressive defense.
