Serious Crimes Have Serious Consequences, So You Need a Serious Defense

If you are facing felony charges in Chicago, the penalties you will face if convicted are severe. Inevitably, it will involve incarceration, often for many years—possibly for life.

This is why it is so important to have a skillful and aggressive Chicago criminal lawyer at your side [...]

Breaking Down Illinois’ New Cashless Bail System

Bail Bonds

Imagine this: You or a loved one is arrested for a non-violent crime. You’re innocent until proven guilty, but without enough money for bail, you’ll remain behind bars until trial. Your freedom hinges on your finances, not public safety. This was the reality for many in Illinois until the state passed the Pretrial Fairness Act. Now, with cash bail eliminated, navigating this new system requires skilled legal guidance. Andrew M. Weisberg is the Chicago defense attorney you need to protect [...]
