Prostitution is often referred to as the “oldest profession,” but in Illinois, engaging in or patronizing prostitution is illegal and carries serious legal consequences. Beyond the embarrassment that often accompanies prostitution-related charges, a conviction can lead to penalties ranging from probation to incarceration, depending on factors like your criminal history, the age of the individuals involved, and the location where the offense allegedly occurred. Regardless of the potential penalties, having a conviction for prostitution—or any sexual offense—on your record can have long-lasting repercussions. Chicago prostitution lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg is here to help. He offers a free initial consultation to review your case, provide legal advice, and help you understand the best way to move forward.

Any prostitution-related charge is serious, carrying consequences that can negatively impact your life for years. Beyond the legal penalties, the social stigma attached to a conviction for prostitution can be significant, affecting everything from job prospects to personal relationships.
