Criminal Defense

Criminal Defense Lawyer in Kankakee, Illinois

If you have been charged with a criminal offense, or if you are only under criminal investigation, you need an aggressive criminal defense lawyer. Statements you make at any phase of a criminal prosecution can be harmful to your defense. If you are convicted of a crime, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, you face potentially serious consequences, including:

• Establishment of a permanent criminal record


• Large fines


• Court costs


• Lengthy probation


• House arrest


• Jail or prison time
  
  

Some criminal convictions, such as drunk driving (DUI), result in further penalties, such as loss of driver's license, court-ordered alcohol education and treatment, and impoundment of your vehicle.

Our experienced criminal defense attorney advises men and women charged with all types of criminal violations, including:

• Drunk driving (DUI)


• Robbery


• Burglary


• Violent crimes like assault and battery


• Drug offenses


• Murder and other homicide crimes


• Rape and other sex offenses
  
  

We represent clients at every stage of a criminal matter, from investigation and arrest to arraignment and trial. Our goal is always acquittal, but we are skilled negotiators and will advise you if we believe a plea bargain to be in your best interests. We can also handle criminal appeals.

If you have been arrested or you are under investigation, you need an attorney immediately. Contact Scott N. Sliwinski, P.C. to schedule a free consultation. Evening and weekend hours are available by appointment. We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover.
