Criminal Defense Firm - Cook County
Being charged with any crime is a serious matter. If you are convicted of a felony, you face the possibility of significant jail time. If you are convicted of a misdemeanor, you will have a criminal record that could limit your future employment opportunities. Even a minor traffic ticket can result in a costly increase to your auto insurance rates.
When so much is at stake, you need an attorney who will properly advise you of your rights, take the time to guide you through the process and aggressively defend your rights. At the Law Office of Camille M. Hicks, we are committed to defending the rights of the criminally accused.
Because we believe that all criminal charges are a serious matter, we handle all criminal charges from minor traffic offenses to serious felony crimes like drug trafficking, weapons violations, armed robbery and murder. As an experienced trial lawyer, attorney Camille M. Hicks has the legal sophistication necessary to handle even the most complex criminal cases.
What Makes Our Firm Different?
If you have been charged with a crime in Chicago or the surrounding south suburbs, there are many law firms you could choose to handle your case. What makes our firm stand out is our aggressive trial advocacy.
It may be hard to believe, but many criminal defense lawyers are terrified of the courtroom. As a result, some attorneys advise their clients to accept a plea bargain that may not be fair. At our firm, we passionately defend our client's rights. Attorney Camille M. Hicks is a skilled trial lawyer who has taken many cases to trial.
Although we certainly can and do resolve cases by plea agreement, we will not push our clients to accept a bad deal. If the prosecution makes an unreasonable plea offer and our client wants to take his or her case to trial, we will diligently seek justice in the courtroom.
Our willingness to fight criminal charges aggressively has two primary benefits. First, we believe strongly that it improves our position in plea negotiations. Prosecutors know that we mean business. Second, if a case does go to trial, we are never taken by surprise. We prepare meticulously for the possibility of trial in each case. Through a firm resolve and a willingness to contest criminal charges in court when necessary, we have obtained many positive results for clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges.
