Fight for Your Defense
Representation of a client facing criminal charges often is a fight from start to finish. Your opponent is a prosecutor and a system that eagerly seeks the strictest of penalties. An accused who chooses not to fight - or who chooses to accept counsel that won't roll up his sleeves and fight — chooses to accept whatever consequences a prosecutor wishes to impose on you.
Even if you have done something wrong, made a bad decision or found yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, that doesn't mean that you deserve whatever punishment a prosecutor decides based on limited information. Often times, without active and concerned representation, plea negotiations are made by a prosecutor based on an incomplete understanding of you as a person. The system is designed for conflict, and unless you have someone on your side willing to plunge into the fray, you certainly will be at a serious disadvantage. The signature of an aggressive attorney is trial by jury.
At the law office of Joel E. Brown, Attorney at Law in Peoria, Illinois, we fight to protect you and your rights.
