Knowing The Stakes In A Criminal Defense Case
Your reputation. Your career. Your family. These were not handed to you. You have worked hard to build a life you can be proud of. Whether you have been accused, you are being investigated or charges have been filed, it is important to take action to protect what matters most.
At Cheronis, Parente & Levitt LLC in Chicago, our goal is to limit your exposure to criminal penalties and the collateral consequences that come with having a criminal record. We will strive to achieve the best possible outcome in your case, whether that is the dismissal of charges, a “not guilty” verdict or a plea agreement that avoids a felony conviction.

We Are Ready To Fight For You In Court
We will begin by investigating all facets of your case, seeking to uncover flaws in the evidence against you. We also look for any evidence that can be used in your favor. Not all cases go to trial, but we have found that the best plea agreements come from a position of strength and only after thorough analysis of the issues.
Case Results
We Offer A Proven Defense Against State And Federal Charges

However, we are able to step in at any point in your criminal defense case.
