Traffic and Criminal Law

I am an adept criminal defense attorney at handling your case and know my way around the criminal courtrooms. If you have a moving violation, particularly if the moving violation has the potential for jail time, on many occasions, the prosecution will not negotiate with you and advise you obtain counsel. I can assist you in preserving your driving privileges and minimizing the impact of your charge and minimize the impact on your insurance rates depending upon your individual situation and record. I also handle misdemeanor cases across the board and will represent you from beginning to end on a flat legal fee. Call or text to 224-578-4144 Richard L. Elsliger for your free consultation.

Why is it important to talk to a defense attorney before pleading guilty in a traffic case?
If you were involved in a personal injury from a traffic accident, whether you were at fault for the accident or not, a guilty plea can be admitted into evidence in a civil law suit as evidence of negligence. This can be damaging to your case whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant. It is important to make a determination as to whether a guilty plea serves your interests and such a decision should not be taken lightly.
