Practice Area
Assault & Battery
Their version of events is not the only one. We build yours — forcefully.
Assault Charges Often Come Down to One Word Against Another
Assault and battery cases are heavily dependent on witness testimony and subjective accounts of what happened. The prosecution's witnesses tell one story. Our job is to expose the inconsistencies, bias, and motivations behind that story — and tell yours convincingly.
Self-defense is a powerful and legitimate defense in Illinois. If you acted to protect yourself or others from imminent harm, you may have the right to use reasonable force. I build self-defense arguments that are grounded in the facts and presented in a way that resonates with juries.

Our Defense Approach
- Self-Defense / Defense of Others — You had the right to protect yourself. We prove the threat was real and your response was proportionate.
- Witness Impeachment — Accusers and bystanders have biases, prior statements, and inconsistencies. We find them and use them.
- Surveillance & Physical Evidence — Video doesn't lie. We subpoena footage that the prosecution didn't gather — footage that might tell a different story.
- Consent Defense — In certain contexts, mutual consent can negate a battery charge. We evaluate every relevant angle.
