IN LEGAL TROUBLE?

Being arrested for a criminal offense in Illinois can have severe legal, financial, and emotional consequences for the individual charged with the crime, as well as his or her family. If you have been accused of a crime in the Chicago area or throughout Illinois, or if you have learned that there is a pending investigation, it is critical to contact the Law Offices of William I Cartagena, Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney as soon as possible. Mr. Cartagena previously served a prosecutor and a cop, providing him with knowledge about how the prosecution will build a case against a defendant. With nearly 30 years of experience representing the interests of individuals involved in criminal cases, he is prepared to advocate zealously on your behalf, bringing energy, skill, and knowledge to your defense strategy. A complete dismissal of the charges may be possible under certain circumstances. If this cannot be done based on the facts of the case, then a reduction in charges and a decrease in penalties may be negotiated. Mr. Cartagena has an extensive history of getting acquittals at trial or getting a verdict on a lesser included charge.
