State and federal prosecutors like to work from a position of strength, and they don’t hesitate to use their access to almost unlimited resources to obtain convictions. The job of a criminal defense lawyer is to attack a prosecutor’s confidence in the strength of the case. That’s what opens the door to dismissal, favorable plea agreements and victories at trial.
At the Law Office of Robert Kerr, LLC, our Chicago criminal defense lawyers work hard to attack the strength of the government’s case against our client. We do this through intensive investigation, superior legal analysis, smart use of pretrial motions and other procedural tactics that can shift the balance in your favor. To learn how you can benefit from our aggressive approach to criminal defense, contact us in Chicago or the suburbs for a free consultation.

An important strength of our practice involves our familiarity with the diversion options and treatment programs that can often keep your case out of the criminal justice system.

Many of these options will keep your case eligible for expungement, and we can advise you about their availability in your situation.

Our Top Criminal Defense Attorneys
can help you with Cases Involving Sex Crimes
Accused, Suspected or Charged with a Sex Crime?
- If you or someone you know has been accused of a sex crime – child sex abuse, molestation, rape or any other sex crime(s) – DO NOT speak to the police, law enforcement or the DCFS – Department of Children and Family Services without the presence of your attorney.
- DO NOT wait for the accusations to go away, or hope that the police will drop the charges without the influence of an experienced and knowledgeable sex crime(s) lawyer.
- DO NOT hire a general practice attorney. Sex crime charges are extremely serious and often very complex criminal defense law cases. The prosecution will likely have vast experience handling sex crime cases on a regular basis. Make sure your attorney has the necessary experience, and skill to help protect your rights and your freedom.
