Criminal Defense ATTORNEY SERVING SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
Criminal defense attorney, Edward Eytalis, has had extensive experience representing clients in state-court criminal cases. Clients who find themselves involved in criminal matters in the Illinois state court criminal system can rely on the firm for highly experienced and effective representation. Being involved in a criminal case, as the defendant or the victim can be confusing and frightening. A criminal conviction – or even a charge – can impact one’s life in countless ways, including one’s freedom, employment, standing in educational institutions, and family. It is important for defendants, victims, and witnesses to be well-informed throughout the process.
Our clients may come in contact with the state-court criminal justice system in a variety of ways. In Illinois, criminal complaints for misdemeanors or felonies may be issued when a police department applies for a criminal complaint by making a showing to a Judge that there is probable course to conclude that the potential defendant committed a crime.
Edward Eytalis represents clients vigorously at all stages of the proceedings. In many cases, he has been able to persuade the States attorneys’ to reduce or dismiss the charges against our client. In cases where dismissal was not an option, we have negotiated resolutions that have minimized the harm that a conviction may cause to our clients’ lives. Should it prove to be in our client’s best interest to take the case to trial, Attorney Eytalis has decades of trial experience in State courts throughout Southern Illinois.
