Carpentersville Criminal Defense Lawyer

Skilled Criminal Defense Attorney Representing Defendants in Carpentersville, IL

When you face criminal charges, your future is on the line, especially if a conviction includes jail or prison time. Having the right attorney defending you is critical to the outcome of your case. There are many lawyers in the Carpentersville area, but not all have the experience and legal knowledge to successfully navigate the Illinois criminal justice system. When choosing a qualified Carpentersville criminal defense lawyer, look no further than The Law Office of Brian J. Mirandola.

Qualities to Look for in a Criminal Defense Lawyer

There are many law firms in the area that provide a wide range of services, from personal injury to family law to estate planning to criminal defense. When you are facing potential prison time, you need a lawyer who has extensive experience focused on criminal law. You may even want to consider a lawyer who was a former prosecutor, because that attorney has the professional experience and legal knowledge of how prosecutors prepare their cases.

Attorney Brian Mirandola is a former Assistant State's Attorney who knows how law enforcement and prosecutors build their cases to prove defendants' guilt. This knowledge enables Attorney Mirandola to prepare for whatever the prosecutor in your case may try to do to get a guilty verdict.

While it is important to have a Carpentersville criminal defense lawyer who can negotiate on your behalf with the prosecutor, you do not want a lawyer who always pleads their clients out and never defends them in trials. Attorney Mirandola has decades of experience in the courtroom, and he has successfully defended many clients before judges and juries. You can be confident that he will fight for you.

Criminal Cases We Handle

Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, you can be assured that The Law Office of Brian J. Mirandola will provide you with the most vigorous defense possible. We can assist with charges of:

• Assault – When charged as a misdemeanor, a conviction could still mean up to 12 months in jail. Felony charges can carry even longer prison sentences.
• DUI – All convictions for drunk or intoxicated driving will result in loss of license and hefty fines. Jail time may also be a possibility, even for a first DUI offense.
• Drug crimes – Our firm has successfully handled multiple cases involving possession, distribution, and trafficking. A conviction can have a significant impact on your future.
• Domestic violence – A domestic violence conviction will not only impact your criminal record, but it could also affect child custody and other family law issues.
• Theft – There are a variety of theft-related charges that fall under the category of property crimes, including retail theft, motor vehicle theft, and burglary.
• Sex crimes – Being convicted of a sexual offense can affect your life even after you have served time in prison. Many offenses require a person to register with the Illinois Sex Offender Registry – in many cases for life – and this can impede your ability to find work, housing, and obtain an education.
• Traffic violations – Paying traffic tickets without fighting them means you are admitting guilt. If you get too many violations, the points will add up on your driving record, leading to increased vehicle insurance premiums and a potential license suspension. The Law Office of Brian J. Mirandola can also help CDL holders cited for traffic violations.
• Driver's license reinstatement – If you have lost your driving privileges because of a DUI, traffic violations, or any other legal issues, we can help navigate you through the process of having your driver's license reinstated.
• Underage drinking – Although Illinois has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking, many teens will experiment, and they may sometimes make wrong decisions that end up getting them in legal hot water. If your teen has been charged, our law firm can help.
• Expungement – If you have been convicted of a crime, you may be concerned about the impact that conviction will have on your future. The Law Office of Brian J. Mirandola can evaluate your situation and determine if you are a candidate for expungement. If you do not qualify, we may be able to take the steps to seal your criminal record.
