PRACTICE AREAS

TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS

For most people the most common experience with the legal system is a traffic violation or an auto accident. If you are not familiar with your rights and how these events might affect your driving privileges, it can be very costly; especially for young drivers

DUI/DWI/ALCOHOL OFFENSES

Will you lose your driver’s license if you were arrested on a DUI/DWI charge? What are the consequences? What are the steps you have to go through?

DRIVER'S LICENSE REINSTATEMENT

If you need to drive, you may be eligible for a Restricted Driving Permit. Most people need to drive. Driving to work, driving during work, driving to school, to medical appointments, – all require a valid driver’s license. Talk to an attorney about a restricted driving permit.

EXPUNGEMENTS/RECORD SEALING

How long should you need to explain a mistake you made one time, perhaps many years ago? Even a misdemeanor arrest as a teenager can threaten your ability to get or keep a job, apply for a professional license or qualify for a loan

Juvenile Offenders/Juvenile Court

Juvenile offenders not only need a lawyer, the law requires that a juvenile offender have a lawyer. If your child is going before a juvenile court judge, talk to a lawyer with juvenile court experience.

Sex Crimes

Even a rumor of committing a sex crime can be extremely damaging to one’s reputation. If you are under suspicion for a sex crime, talk to an experienced attorney before you talk to anyone else.

Drug Charges

The sentence for a drug charge can be very significant. If you are facing drug charges, talk to a lawyer who understands the seriousness of the charges and the consequences.

Murder & Violent Crimes

If you have been arrested for assault, rape, murder or any other violent crime, the charges are serious. At the Russo Law Offices in Wheaton, Illinois, we bring a team approach to every violent crime case because we understand that our client’s freedom could be at risk – for the rest of his or her life, in some cases.

Theft & Burglary

Have you been charged with theft? If convicted, the sentence can range from court supervision to time spent in a penitentiary. A conviction – no matter how small or large the consequences – will leave you with a criminal record.

White Collar Crimes

They are often called white collar crimes or financial crimes. Embezzlement, fraud, credit card fraud and other crimes can result in a criminal record, a jail or prison term, and a loss of reputation. As soon as you are aware that you may face charges, talk to a criminal defense lawyer.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence cases are difficult for everyone involved. All family members have to deal with the aftermath of something that may have started with a misunderstanding but ended with the police taking someone into custody. If you are accused of domestic violence, talk to an attorney before you talk to anyone else — including the police.

DCFS Investigations and Administrative Appeals

When DCFS is contacted regarding a report of possible abuse or neglect they will conduct an investigation. Unlike a criminal case or investigation, the level of proof needed is substantially lower. DCFS only needs to find what they determine is “credible evidence” that abuse or neglect occurred.
