Charged with Prostitution? Get Help from Prostitution Defense Lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg

They call it the oldest profession in the world, and whether or not that is true is hard to say, but what is certain is that it is illegal in the state of Illinois to engage in prostitution or to patronize a prostitute. In addition to the embarrassment that can accompany any Chicago prostitution-related charges, there are consequences related to a conviction that can range from probation to incarceration depending on various factors such as the criminal past and age of those involved, as well as the physical location where the alleged offense occurred. Regardless of whether you are facing probation or a jail sentence, you do not want a conviction for prostitution, or any kind of sexual offense for that matter, on your record. Chicago prostitution lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg will meet with you for a free initial consultation to review your case and provide you with the legal advice you need to understand how to best proceed regarding the charges against you.

Chicago Prostitution Lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg Can Provide the Aggressive Defense You Need

According to Illinois law, it is illegal for a person to knowingly engage in a sexual act for money. It is also illegal to patronize anyone who offers such services. The penalties for a conviction are actually much more severe for someone who patronizes a prostitute than they are for a person convicted of prostitution, but any prostitution-related charge is serious and carries with it consequences that can negatively affect your life for years to come. In addition, there is a hefty amount of social stigma that is associated with any connections to prostitution that can follow you around for years following a conviction. Potential employers will often ask if you have ever been convicted of a crime, and if they ask for an explanation once you have checked “yes” on an employment application, it can seriously affect your chances for being hired if the response is prostitution or patronizing a prostitute. In order to have the chance at avoiding such embarrassing and humiliating circumstances, you should retain the services of Chicago sex crimes attorney Andrew M. Weisberg. Mr. Weisberg will diligently pursue every means of defense possible for your case and set of circumstances.
