Protecting the Rights of the Accused
When you have been charged with a crime in local or state court, you have the right to defend yourself including the right to select your own private counsel. Even if you believe you will be convicted of a crime, you have rights that need to be protected by state and federal laws.
The system is devised in such a way that a person accused of a crime who chooses not to act strongly in their own defense may face overzealous prosecution and penalties that do not match the crime. At the law office of Joel E. Brown, Attorney at Law in Peoria, Illinois, we provide strong criminal defense for clients accused of a wide range of crimes.
We can't change the past, but we can affect your future.
Comprehensive State Criminal Defense
The potential penalties associated with a criminal charge or conviction are not limited to fines, probation, jail time, or even prison. A criminal record can have an impact on every aspect of your life. It can affect your job, your ability to get a loan, to get a home and even your ability to participate in the lives of the people most important to you.
Attorney Joel E. Brown has been working to help protect the rights and future of people accused of crimes in the State of Illinois for more than 17 years. We take on a wide range of cases, including:
- Drug crimes
- Violent crimes
- Domestic violence
- Theft and property crimes
- Sex crimes
- Computer and cyber crimes
Whether you've been arrested for state felony or misdemeanor charges, you need to put a criminal defense attorney on your side who has the experience to be effective and who takes the time to fully address your needs. We will evaluate all aspects of your case, give you clear advice and then put you in the driver's seat.
You make the decision about how your case is handled, and then we work together to make those decisions a reality.
