FELONY

The criminal defense attorneys of the Law Offices of Theodore Gailan aggressively defend the rights of the accused. Our highly professional staff handles both federal and state felonies and misdemeanors.

Felonies can be defined as offenses more serious than misdemeanors. Felonies usually carry a penalty of more than one year in prison. The first appearance is called the arraignment in felony cases. As a rule, after a not guilty plea, the case is set for a preliminary hearing that takes place in front of a judge, where a grand jury panel listens to the testimony of witnesses and determines whether there is sufficient evidence to make the defendant stand trial.

At the Law Offices of Theodore Gailan we offer free initial consultations, maintain flexible office hours, provide emergency service, and keep clients personally informed of the status of their case. If you or your loved one has been accused of a felony, please call us now at 1 (630) 467-0400 and learn how we can protect your rights.

MISDEMEANORS

Misdemeanors are offenses less serious than felonies, they usually carry a penalty of one year or less in jail. As a rule, misdemeanors are charged by a written complaint. If you have been accused of a misdemeanor, it is crucial that you in a misdemeanor prosecution have zealous representation backing you up. You should seek the help of an aggressive criminal defense lawyer.

We strongly believe that when defending someone accused of a felony or misdemeanor, it helps to understand how the prosecutor is likely to handle the case and how the police may have investigated the facts. All this helps to understand common weaknesses in the cases in order to strengthen the defense. The Law Offices of Theodore Gailan are well versed in cases concerning misdemeanors. We are aware of all the complexities and intricacies such cases entail.
