CASE RESULTS

While youthful indiscretions are a part of growing up, it is important to be aware that the consequences for too many offenses in a person’s younger days can be devastating. Recently, Chicago attorney Michael O’Meara represented a young man, who had been charged with underage consumption of alcohol. While this individual was under 21, this relatively minor legal infraction was amplified significantly because the charge came at a time when the young man was also on probation for a previous and much more serious criminal conviction. Therefore, this underage consumption charge constituted a potential probation violation and if convicted, he could be sentenced to time behind bars. Based on the dire nature of his circumstances, the man knew that he needed strong representation and contacted O’Meara Law LLC.

In an effort to mitigate the repercussions that his client was facing, attorney O’Meara used his comprehensive experience to negotiate with the prosecution. These discussions eventually concluded with the dismissal of the underage consumption charge that was putting his freedom and his future in jeopardy. The young man could now relax because the sensible decision to retain Michael O’Meara allowed him to avoid time in jail and he could finish his probation, after which he could move on, hopefully, having learned from his mistakes.

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.
