primarily started my career in terms of

Federal Criminal experience about 20 25

years ago doing exclusively Federal

cases but over the years getting a track

Road records of success in Federal

Criminal trials has led me to handle on

a very regular basis now a state court

criminal felony cases here in Illinois

and in other jurisdictions and by way of

example just last week we represented an

individual in a state felony case in

Illinois where the individual was a

charge with attempted murder and were

able to obtain a not guilty verdict for

that individual so on quite a regular

basis we represent individuals in state

felony cases here in Illinois and take

those cases of trial in cases ranging

anywhere from gun crimes to murder or

even some white collar offense cases

even though those are less frequently

charged in State Court

Chicago, IL criminal defense attorney Michael Leonard discusses the kinds of state felony cases do you handle. He explains that I initially began my career focusing on federal criminal cases approximately 20 to 25 years ago. Through the years, my consistent success in federal criminal trials has expanded my practice to include state court felony cases in Illinois and other jurisdictions. Recently, we had the opportunity to represent an individual facing charges of attempted murder in a state felony case in Illinois. We were able to secure a not guilty verdict for our client, highlighting our ability to effectively defend individuals in state felony cases. These cases encompass a wide range of offenses, including gun crimes, murder, and occasionally white-collar offenses, although the latter are less frequently charged in state court. Handling state felony cases in Illinois has become a regular part of our practice, and we are committed to taking these cases to trial and achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.
