In Illinois, Certain Victims Increase Assault and Battery Penalties

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the Facebook live “torture” video. The video, which was broadcast live on Facebook, showed four teenagers beating, gagging, and torturing a teen with mental disabilities. The four were arrested after a neighbor made a noise complaint, and police believe the victim was tied up for four to five hours that day.

 

Currently, the accused teens are being held in jail without bail. Earlier [...]

Support for Domestic Violence Victims in Chicago Is Looking Grim

A few weeks ago, we wrote about a new law in Illinois that would require hairdressers, barbers, and so on to take courses on domestic violence in case their clients were to confide in them about abuse.

 

Laws like this are a great way to educate more people about the signs of domestic violence, and the resources available to victims. Once a case is reported to police, however, the laws must be enforced and further action must be taken [...]

Springfield Man Sentenced to 32 Years for Drug Trafficking

What Happened to Send Mosby to Prison for More Than Three Decades?

 

The story begins when Mosby was stopped by [...]

5 Ways You Can Get Arrested for Protesting in Illinois

The political climate in this country is tense, but you probably knew that already. With very controversial executive orders and cabinet picks making major headlines, people are more outraged than ever, and a resistance movement is forming on the streets.

 

Our country, and the democratic system our founding fathers aimed for, encourages each person to have a voice in the political process. It is important to voice your opinions through petitions, letters to your representatives, or protesting.

Illinois Sex Crimes Can Cost You Your Job

The penalties for sex crimes in our state aren’t just limited to jail time and fines. You may find yourself on the sex offender registry. You could lose the rights that all Illinois felons have taken away. Perhaps worst of all, being convicted of a sex crime – or in some cases even just charged – can cost you your job and eliminate any chance that you might get it back.

 

To see that this is true, you only [...]

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 [...]
