CASE RESULTS

A woman in Cook County, IL was recently pulled over for going 35 miles over the posted speed limit and she was subsequently charged with aggravated speeding. In Illinois, this is considered a criminal traffic violation, and if convicted the woman faced a mark on her permanent criminal record and most likely a significant increase in her insurance rates because insurance carriers usually view this type of behavior as more of a liability. Obviously worried about the effect an aggravated speeding conviction would have on her, the woman retained the expertise of a Cook County criminal defense attorney Michael O’Meara.

Attorney Michael O’Meara knew the ramifications his client was facing and knew that he could help. Attorney O’Meara discussed the case with the assigned prosecutor and successfully negotiated to have the aggravated speeding violation reduced to a minor petty traffic offense. Due to attorney Michael O’Meara’s ability to have the charge greatly reduced, he saved his client from a criminal conviction coupled with costly fines.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
