Landlord-Tenant Our attorneys are highly experienced landlord-tenant attorneys, specializing in cases dealing with the Chicago Residential Landlord Tenant Ordinance, and similar statutes in suburban cities such as Evanston. We will aggressively defend your rights in this complex specialty area of litigation, and our prices are very competitive. Our real estate practice includes handling cases involving both residential and commercial properties. We will represent all of your needs and interests in both the purchase and sale of your home. This may include comprehensive contract review, home inspections, mortgage contingencies, sale contingencies, and many other legal issues where the help of a seasoned lawyer is invaluable. For our general or subcontractor clients, our attorneys will guide you in the filing and litigation of any mechanics' liens. When a contract is breached, damage is left undisclosed to a home, mold problems develop, or a contractor deviates from building plans, we represent clients in real estate litigation as well. Criminal Defense Our criminal defense lawyers will stand by you from the initiation of your charges through the resolution of your case, going out of their way to defend your rights against the otherwise unfettered power of the State. We are experienced in the aggressive defense of individual rights, including pretrial motions such as motions attacking a search warrant, motions to suppress, motions to dismiss, federal criminal charges, driver's license reinstatement, [link to Practice Area page], and a highly effective defense at trial. Drivers License Reinstatement Our license reinstatement lawyers will take any step possible to reinstate your driving privileges, either through a formal or an informal hearing with the Secretary of State. We will also pursue a restricted driving permit (RDP) so as to allow you to drive legally for purposes of work, education or medical treatment. Many times, driving privileges can be resolved short of a hearing. Contact our lawyers today for a free initial consultation at 773-467-8991.
