Aggressive Felony Defense
Serious crimes require a serious defense. Many attorneys will simply push you to take a quick plea. At Crossroad Legal, we understand that sometimes a plea is the right answer, and sometimes it is not. If you are innocent or the state is unreasonable, we will work hard to preserve your rights to give you the best chance of success in beating your charges.
Gun Crimes
Perhaps our most common cases are ones involving firearms. Illinois is very strict about gun ownership and possession, and many out of state residents make honest mistakes that result in serious charges. No one knows gun law like our office, and we stand ready to help.
Drug Crimes
Drug crimes are often categorized in creative ways, such that the same crime can be charged under multiple classes. Likewise, there are many complex nuances that apply to proving drug cases. Our firm has significant experience representing clients with drug charges.

Probation and Parole VIolation
For a lot of people, they may have taken what they thought was a great plea deal for probation. But later, they find out that avoiding prison isn't the only thing to consider in negotiations. If you violate probation or get your parole revoked, you need immediate help from a skilled criminal defense lawyer, because the penalties the second time around are almost always worse.
Violent Crimes
If you or a loved one have been charged with a serious violent crime, such as home invasion, aggravated battery, armed robbery, or even homicide, you need the best legal representation you can get. We have successfully helped hundreds of people avoid serious prison time, even following serious and violent offenses.
