I’m Andrew Weisberg, a criminal defense attorney with nearly 30 years of experience, practicing law in Chicago and Skokie.

When you’re arrested and released on bond, you’re given a bond sheet or slip, which includes important information like your court date, time, and location, as well as the offenses or charges you’re facing. Unfortunately, these charges are often listed as a series of letters and numbers rather than simple terms like “Battery.” For example, “720 ILCS 5/12-3” represents the statute for Battery. But what does it all mean?
In Illinois, most criminal offenses start with “720 ILCS,” which refers to the Illinois Compiled Statutes covering criminal offenses. Each charge has a specific set of corresponding numbers, which can be confusing for anyone not familiar with criminal law. When someone is arrested, they want to know exactly what they’re charged with and the potential penalties. I represent individuals facing all kinds of charges under 720 ILCS, and I’m here to explain the law to you. Call now for a free consultation.
I’ll walk you through the laws relevant to your case and explain the possible penalties—at no cost to you.
Please call me now to receive a free consultation about your case. I’ll explain the charges you or a loved one face, the possible penalties, and what to expect during the court process.

If you choose to have me represent you, we can discuss my strategy for success and the associated legal fees in detail. I look forward to hearing from you today. Call anytime at (773) 453-9115.
