Many in the public believe that individuals charged with a felony must have committed a violent offense, or have been charged multiple times with different offenses. There are many different types of felony charges that can be levied against an individual, ranging from seriously violent offenses, such as murder and sexual assault, to non-violent drug offenses and even retail theft. The fact of the matter is that the State's Attorneys office and the police have wide discretion in seeking more serious charges against a defendant. The lawyers of Beermann & Ori are experienced not only in the defense of these charges, but having a former Assistant State's Attorney working in the firm allows us to work closely with State, before its too late.
Being charged with a felony can be a life changing event. These offenses share one thing in common, all felony offenses are punishable by at least one year of incarceration in the Illinois Department of Corrections. What our firm knows and what is often very important, is that these cases can be resolved in a variety of manners. After reviewing the facts and evidence in the case, the lawyers of Beermann & Ori can competently and objectively give you the advice you need in this most serious of times. That advice may be to push the case to trial and hold the State to its burden of "beyond a reasonable doubt". However, in other cases, it will become necessary to mitigate the seriousness of the offense and negotiate a punishment that will be as advantageous to our clients as possible, given the charge.
The lawyers of Beermann & Ori are experienced in all manners of felony charges and beyond being able to present a zealous and competent defense, we have the experience to know when to push and when to pull, a difference that not only sets us apart but may be the determining factor of the punishment levied by the State.
