South Elgin Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal Defense Attorney in South Elgin, IL Fighting Aginst Drug Charges, DUI, and More

Under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, every person charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty. To be found guilty, a prosecutor has to prove his or her case beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite this constitutional right that was put into place to specifically protect people accused of crimes, many defendants find that the opposite happens, with police and prosecutors treating them as if they are guilty from the moment they are placed in handcuffs. Anyone who has been arrested should immediately contact a South Elgin criminal defense lawyer to ensure they are afforded every right they are guaranteed under the law.

At The Law Office of Brian J. Mirandola, we have been fighting for our clients' rights for decades. When Attorney Brian Mirandola entered law school, he knew he only wanted to practice criminal law exclusively, helping people through serious legal needs. Decades later, he remains committed to that challenge. He is a former Assistant State's Attorney who prosecuted hundreds of driving under the influence (DUI) cases, misdemeanors, and felonies, and he understands prosecutors' strategies when they are building their cases against his clients.

How Our Criminal Defense Attorney Will Fight for You

When you hire our firm to represent you, you can trust that we will take the necessary steps to build a thorough defense strategy. We will gather and analyze evidence, interview potential witnesses, research all laws that apply to your case, and continue to investigate and look for any weaknesses in the case against you.

One of the most critical parts of a criminal case is the police report and other documents law enforcement gathered to build their case against you. Your South Elgin criminal defense lawyer will examine every document, looking for any discrepancies or inconsistencies that could help in proving your innocence.

Attorney Mirandola will also interview any potential witnesses, looking for discrepancies in the testimonies of witnesses who are part of the prosecutor's case and witnesses who have information that could help your case. It is not uncommon for multiple people present during an incident to have different versions of what they saw or thought they saw. If witnesses' testimonies differ, this could create enough reasonable doubt to result in a not-guilty verdict.

One of the benefits of having a lawyer who only practices criminal law is that you have someone who has extensive experience and legal knowledge about the different criminal statutes in Illinois. Knowing which laws are applicable helps your legal team determine if there is evidence or witness statements that should not be admissible against you because that evidence was collected in violation of the law. There may also be precedents and rulings by higher courts that could be used as part of our defense strategy.
