Types Of Cases We Defend Against
Libertyville falls under the jurisdiction of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Lake County State’s Attorney.
We provide answers and clarity to our clients who are dealing with serious criminal charges. We have decades of experience deconstructing the investigative tactics used by local task forces in cases involving:
- Sexual assault
- Aggravated criminal sexual assault
- Child molestation
- Child pornography
- Internet sex crime
- Sex trafficking
- Traveling to meet a minor
Our attention to detail and aggressive work in and out of court mean our clients get the full benefits of our decades of experience as criminal defense attorneys.
We understand that in a high-profile community like Libertyville, “privacy” is not just a preference—it is a necessity. Our firm acts with the utmost discretion, often intervening during the investigative phase to protect our clients before an arrest is ever made public.
Strategic Navigation of Illinois’ “Rape Shield” Laws
The Illinois “Rape Shield” law (725 ILCS 5/115-7) is often used by the prosecution to limit the evidence a defendant can present. However, a formidable defense attorney knows how to find the constitutional exceptions.
We do not let the “shield” become a barrier to the truth. We utilize aggressive cross-examination and independent investigation to challenge the motive, bias, and credibility of the accuser, ensuring your side of the story is heard in court.
Can A Sex Crime Charge Be Downgraded Or Dismissed If The Accuser Decides Not To Testify?
The only authority that can downgrade or dismiss your charge before the trial is the prosecutor. While there are no promises, if the accuser chooses not to testify, this is often a reason for a prosecutor to change tactics and reduce charges.
