we’ve had eight separate cases where the
jury has returned uh not a single count
of guilty against our clients meaning
that in seven out of eight of those
cases the client is walking totally free
in the eighth case there was one count
against our client but that was a
mistried case a mistried count so eight
occasions where essentially the jury
didn’t find our client guilty of a
single count which is highly unusual in
federal court you have a lot of lawyers
who unfortunately have not experienced
the thrill of a not guilty in federal
court in a criminal trial some have
experienced once or twice and we’ve been
on that board about eight times which is
highly unusual and so that’s kind of one
of our calling cards our ability to be
successful against the feds in criminal
trials in Chicago and elsewhere
Chicago, IL criminal defense attorney Michael Leonard discusses how many federal criminal trials he’s won and why. He explains that we have achieved remarkable success in our federal criminal cases, with a notable record of eight separate instances where the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on every count against our clients. In seven out of these eight cases, our clients walked away completely free, while in the remaining case, one count resulted in a mistrial. This level of success is highly uncommon in federal court, where many lawyers have not experienced the exhilaration of a not guilty verdict in a criminal trial. Some may have achieved this outcome once or twice, but we proudly boast an impressive tally of eight instances. Our ability to consistently prevail against federal prosecutors in criminal trials, both in Chicago and elsewhere, sets us apart and serves as a testament to our expertise and effectiveness.
