New Law Would Allow Medical Marijuana Use for Veterans

When it comes to medical care, few people would argue that war veterans deserve nothing but the very best that our country has to offer. For all that they have done for our country and for all they have been through, wounded veterans should be receiving only the best, most effective, and least harmful treatment.

But what if that treatment is weed?

According to a new bill that has been introduced in the House, medical marijuana has the ability to [...]

How to Defend Someone Who Has Admitted Guilt

Picture this: It’s a chilly winter’s evening in Chicago, and Michigan Ave. is aglow with Christmas lights and bright storefront windows. Snowflakes melt on the ruddy cheeks of shoppers as they bustle down the street with their arms full of bags, laughing as they make their way to the CTA station.

 

Everything’s peaceful and serene until suddenly—a siren goes off, and someone darts out of a high-end store holding an expensive necklace. Unfortunately for this person—let’s call him “Frank”—there’s [...]

Chicago Homicides Are Only Down In Some Neighborhoods

It’s never a bad thing when the crime rate drops in your city, and that’s especially true when the crime in question is homicide. Few criminal acts are more devastating than intentionally taking someone’s life, because there’s no way to take it back and no chance of recovery. Victims expand well beyond the person who dies to their friends, family members, and even their community. Perhaps that’s why Chicago city officials were so quick to trot out the FBI’s most [...]

Sex Crimes on the CTA Often Go Unreported

Illinois law deals with perpetrators of sex crimes very seriously—when they catch them. However, studies show that an alarming number of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault crimes go unreported. Victims often feel ashamed, or unsure of whether or not their experience constitutes a crime. This is particularly true in public places like the CTA, where large crowds make it easy for groping to go unnoticed and sexist comments are all too common. In response to this problem, local public transit [...]

Are Illinois DUI Laws about to Get Tougher?

While the republican and democratic candidates for secretary of state might have differed on many platforms, they both agreed on one – Illinois needs to enforce stricter DUI laws.  Republican nominee Mike Webster argued that it’s too easy to avoid conviction for a DUI, maintaining that the system can be manipulated “if you have enough money” or “know the right people.”

 

The democratic opponent, longtime secretary of state Jesse White, says he supports a law that enforces longer license [...]

What is Criminal Trespass Under Illinois Law?

Criminal Trespass

Think you’re not trespassing? Illinois law might say otherwise. It doesn’t take a break-in or a locked gate. Just being in the wrong place or staying too long can lead to criminal charges. Maybe you thought you had permission. Maybe you didn’t realize it was off-limits. Either way, a trespass charge is serious. It can follow you for years and show up on background checks.

That’s why it’s smart to call the Law Offices of Andrew Weisberg, a seasoned Chicago, [...]

Illinois Expungement Laws: Can You Clear Your Record?

Expungement / Sealing Records

A past arrest or charge—even one that didn’t lead to a conviction—can stick with you for years. It can show up in background checks, cost you job opportunities, or affect where you live.

Thousands of people in Illinois live with records that no longer reflect who they are. Expungement offers a chance to clear your name—but the process isn’t automatic or easy. That’s where the Law Offices of Andrew Weisberg, a respected Chicago, IL criminal defense attorney, can step in [...]
