CASE RESULTS

Not only will a skilled criminal defense lawyer work to clear your name, but their experience will prove vital when you need to lessen the impact of a criminal conviction. Therefore, if you are ever charged with a crime, it is always best to consult with a knowledgeable attorney. Not long ago, a middle-aged man was charged with theft and forgery relating to taking over $10,000 from his employer. While this was the man’s first time being arrested, with such a serious theft-related crime, he was still facing a substantial amount of prison time if found guilty as well as a looming felony conviction that would impede his life for a long time. Therefore, he knew that he needed top-tier representation and contacted a capable Illinois criminal defense lawyer with O’Meara Law, LLC.

Once retained, attorney Michael O’Meara set to work and began exhaustive discussions with the prosecution. Attorney O’Meara zealously pursued the best possible outcome for his client and after months of tireless negotiation, he successfully convinced the prosecutor to reduce the theft charge to a lower felony in addition to dismissing the forgery charge. This enabled O’Meara’s client to receive Second Chance Probation, which allows a participant to have his or her case dismissed upon successful completion. Afterward, the client can also petition to have the entire matter expunged. Due to the man’s sound decision to seek proper legal representation from attorney O’Meara, he will be able to move on from this transgression without a lingering felony conviction or any time behind bars.

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.
