During these difficult times I want you to know that although the courts are closed and many businesses are shuttered, I am here for you. We should use the extra time we find ourselves having in a positive manner. Even though the Clerks Office is closed, I can still perform some services on line. If you have been considering clearing up your history of “youthful indiscretions”, give me a call and we can work on Sealing or Expunging your record. Please be safe and stay healthy.

As many of you already know, I am the Independent Program Attorney for U.S. Law Shield for the state of Illinois. I have had the privilege of speaking to groups of gun owners throughout the State. If you are not familiar with U.S. Law Shield , I suggest you look at the information on their website www.uslawshield.com.The company insures gun owners who if are forced to defend themselves and unfortunately charged criminally or sued, provide legal services from start to finish. The cost for the insurance is nominal and the benefits are well worth the premiums. In addition to providing lawyers to represent you, they also conduct educational seminars at no cost to it's members. Our theory is that to me armed, you must also be educated. At the seminars I teach the members the laws regarding justifiable use of force in Illinois as well as the ever changing regulations of our Conceal Carry Statutes. We then take some time for a question/answer period. I invite you to attend a seminar and decide for yourself. The handsome man shown below, unfortunately is not me.

At any given moment, situations of self-defense and emergencies can happen to anyone and unfortunately, the justice system may not be on your side. While you protect your family and property, U.S. & Texas LawShield is here to defend you 24/7/365 with the most comprehensive self-defense coverage at a...

As I'm sure many of you have heard that Illinois is legalizing recreational ma*****na. Be careful, the new law does not take effect until Jan. 1, 2020. More importantly is that if you have an arrest or conviction for ma*****na possession, you are eligible to have it expunged from your record. contact my office if you are interested in clearing your record.

I appreciate the response from my recent appearance on WGN News after the mass shooting in Aurora. It has become apparent that the fault does not lie with the individuals who follow the legal process in obtaining their FOID card and Concealed Carry license , but with law enforcement and their failure to follow up when required. The shooter in Aurora should have had his weapon confiscated by either the Illinois State police or the Aurora police department when they learned of his criminal history. I discuss this situation at length during the seminars that I present for US Law Shield throughout Illinois. If you have concerns about your right to defend yourself and when you can use deadly force, you should attend. Go online to U.S. Law Shield website and look up seminars, it is worthwhile.

I was chosen by U.S. Law Shield to be the attorney to represent all the members of their program in Illinois. I am honored and promise to provide the best representation to those in need . To any and all gun owners, I strongly suggest that you take a close look at this new program which just recently expanded to Illinois. For a nominal payment you will be covered for any incident wherein you are forced to defend yourself or your family.
U.S. Law Shield is a program that I spent several weeks investigating until I felt comfortable accepting their offer to be the attorney for the entire State of Illinois.
I will be the featured speaker in the educational programs which we are now scheduling in locations throughout the state.

Please be careful out there.

A new law that goes into effect Aug. 1 means people convicted of driving while intoxicated – regardless of the vehicle they’re driving – will lose their driver’s license and be prohibited from operating motor vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles, motorboats and snowmobiles. The state Leg...

When I started practicing law about 37 years ago police used the "broken tail light" as probable cause to pull over a car. Today the police use " not wearing seat belts " or " the smell of ma*****na" as their probable cause. More often than not these stops are pre-textual. However, under our current state of the law, many judges allow these blatant violations of the 4th Amendment . I have filed many Motions to Quash the Arrest and Suppress the Evidence in these illegitimate stops which are more often than not nothing more than profiling. I have been successful in these motions when the judge has the guts to see and accept the truth and not blindly accept the police officers perjury.
The current ( and most likely) future makeup of our Supreme Court is going to further erode our 4th Amendment Rights. Please be careful when driving, wear your seatbelt and smoke your ma*****na ( in States where it is legal ) in the privacy of your home. Most importantly don't ever give permission to the police to search your car without a warrant. If you are arrested after an illegitimate car stop and search, call me .
