Feds Have Eyes on Chicago Cocaine Trade

Drugs are a consistent problem in many large cities all over the nation, and recently, the federal government has taken a greater interest in Chicago. Although Chicago cartel affiliates primarily deal in heroin and fentanyl, feds currently have an eye out for an uptick in cocaine trafficking.

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
