When other lawyers let their clients go to jail, we find a way to win the case

We Win Cases Other Lawyers Send Their Clients To Jail On

Criminal Defense is About Finding Opportunities

At the law offices of Michael T. Norris Ltd. and John W. Callahan Ltd., we frequently find ourselves taking on - and winning - criminal defense cases that other attorneys gave up on. That's because we don't believe in simply calling a case impossible and passing on it. We believe that opportunities exist in every case. They just need to be found.

When you turn to us to defend you or someone you care about, we will take the time to vigorously seek out every opportunity that could allow us to prevent jail time and avoid a criminal record.

Call us at 1-877-FELONY-3 right away to speak within minutes with a lawyer who will fight to get you results. You can also e-mail us. We represent clients in DuPage County, Kane County, and the surrounding parts of the Chicago Metropolitan Area.

We put our decades of experience in every case we handle. Experience means that we have a history of tackling challenging matters. It means we know how to protect your rights and defend you aggressively.

You can get started by getting in touch with us as soon as possible. As experienced Illinois attorneys, Mike Norris and John Callahan know that getting involved in a criminal defense case early can mean finding opportunities that may expire as time passes. If you or a family member has been arrested, questioned by the police or given any indication that criminal charges may be on their way, turn to us. We'll help. Quite often, the successful outcome of a case can depend on how fast legal motions and subpoenas are filed. It is that important to contact us immediately. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day.

Every case we take, we try to win. That is our goal. We are not interested in letting you simply take a guilty plea or negotiate a deal that isn't truly in your best interest. Normally, pleading guilty early in the case may be an easy option, but it is far from the best one. You deserve the best outcome now and in the future.

When Other Lawyers Give Up, We Go For the Win

After pleading guilty to a felony where he could serve a 12-year prison sentence, one client contacted us to see if he might have any chance to win his case. He had already plead guilty, after his two previous attorneys had told him to do so because they believed his case was impossible to win. We thought otherwise. By putting our skills to the test, we were able to get his guilty plea withdrawn and, even better, win a not-guilty verdict at trial. We also got his fingerprints and arrest reports returned to him after we expunged his arrest and took the criminal case off of his record.*

Do you need defense against DUI charges? Have you been accused of a sex crime? No matter what type of charges you are faced with in Illinois, we are here to stand by your side and fight for you. We concentrate our practice in criminal defense.

To schedule a free case evaluation, it's important to call us at 1-877-FELONY-3 to speak within minutes with an experienced attorney. If you prefer, you can also e-mail us.
