Criminal Litigation – State & Federal Trials

Chicago, Illinois Criminal Trial Lawyers

When you are being accused of a crime you need a criminal defense lawyer who is driven by the desire to protect and defend people. At Meczyk Goldberg, our experienced criminal defense lawyers think in terms of aggressively attacking a case, knowing that we must focus on what the other side is trying to prove so that the evidence can be picked apart, piece by piece. As experienced criminal defense lawyers, we attack cases with tools that include motions to suppress statements and motions to suppress evidence seized from an office, home, vehicle or computer. The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the United States Constitution are also important tools utilized by criminal trial lawyers in Chicago and throughout the country.
