Chicago Criminal Defense
LAW OFFICES OF JAMES A. McCARRON
More people reside in U.S. jails than any other country in the world.
Over 2 million incarcerated and penalties continue to escalate.
What was once a $35 fine can now be a permanent conviction
with a year or more in jail and a fine of up to $250,000.
Over the years political demands for law and order and safer streets have led to increased mandatory sentencing, longer jail terms, and ridiculously larger fines. Not recognizing the changes in the Criminal Defense system, many accused individuals go it alone or retain inexpensive and usually ineffective legal counsel, creating more problems for themselves like large fines and even jail sentences.
It is in your best interest to retain attorneys who are experienced and well known in Criminal Defense. Misdemeanor charges carry a possible jail sentence, probation, or both. Additionally, you could face a permanent criminal record. Below are the possible penalties you are faced with for misdemeanors:

THIS MEANS YOUR LIBERTY MAY BE AT RISK!
I have successfully protected the liberty of people just like you for more than 30 years. I am a Criminal Defense attorney who is in court nearly every day fighting for my clients’ rights. My loyalty is only to my clients; I have never been a policeman or a prosecutor. I only handle one type of case, Criminal Defense, where I can protect the rights of the accused.
You will receive offers from other attorneys. Few of them will concentrate only in Criminal Defense representation. Which lawyer gives more value for your dollar, one who provides only the highest quality Criminal Defense representation or the lawyer who, for the same amount of money that I charge, has 2 real estate closings and a divorce later that day?
I have the experience to win your case. Put it to work for you.
Call me for a free conference and to schedule a confidential consultation now. I’ll answer your questions and restore your peace of mind.
Sincerely,
James A. McCarron
Attorney at Law
