We Understand How Difficult Domestic Violence Cases Are

Attorney Todd A. Roseberry has more than two decades of experience practicing law. His extensive experience includes defending individuals facing misdemeanor and felony charges. He understands the significant emotional burdens associated with these serious charges. Jail sentences, losing your Firearm Owner’s Identification card, and other serious consequences may result from a conviction.

We understand that domestic violence charges typically carry serious social stigmas. You may feel compelled to pursue a quick resolution to your case. However, you must discuss your situation with a qualified criminal defense attorney. Illinois law places strict sentencing guidelines on habitual offenders. Accepting a plea bargain or pleading guilty on a first offense can have severe, lasting effects. Future domestic violence offenses could be elevated to felony charges, resulting in a harsher jail sentence and severe penalties.
