Defense Against Misdemeanor and Felony Charges
Criminal charges in Illinois are divided into misdemeanors and felonies, each carrying different penalties and long-term consequences. Misdemeanors such as theft, disorderly conduct, or trespassing may result in fines or short jail sentences, while felony offenses like burglary, aggravated assault, or weapons charges can bring years of imprisonment. Our attorneys evaluate the charges, investigate the facts, and develop strategies designed to challenge the prosecution’s case.
DUI and Traffic-Related Offenses
Illinois law sets strict penalties for DUI convictions, including license suspension, mandatory classes, probation, and potential jail time. Even first-time offenders can face life-changing consequences if the case is not handled properly.
Carey and Carey Law
assists clients with DUI defense, suspended license issues, and related traffic matters such as reckless driving or speeding citations. By examining arrest procedures, field sobriety test results, and breathalyzer accuracy, we work to reduce or dismiss charges whenever possible.
Drug Crimes and Controlled Substances
Illinois law imposes severe penalties depending on the type and quantity of controlled substance involved. Our attorneys handle cases involving cannabis, prescription medications, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and synthetic drugs. Defense strategies may include challenging search and seizure methods, questioning laboratory testing, or negotiating reduced charges for treatment alternatives.
Domestic Violence and Protective Orders
Domestic violence charges are highly sensitive, often involving family members, spouses, or partners. A conviction can impact not only freedom but also employment, child custody, and immigration status. In addition to criminal penalties, courts may issue orders of protection that restrict where an individual can live or whom they can contact.
Carey and Carey Law represents individuals accused of domestic battery, violation of an order of protection, and related offenses, ensuring that constitutional rights are preserved throughout the process.
Expungements, Record Sealing, and Future Protection
Even after serving a sentence, a criminal record can create lasting barriers to employment, housing, and education. Illinois law provides options for clearing certain offenses through expungement or record sealing.
Our attorneys guide clients through the eligibility requirements and filing process, helping them take meaningful steps toward a fresh start.
By addressing past records, we support clients in building a future free from the weight of old mistakes.
