A Chicago Criminal Defender Who Can Handle Your 720 ILCS Charge

Facing a 720 ILCS charge in Cook County or learning that you are under investigation for criminal activity is a serious matter. A conviction can lead to hefty fines, administrative penalties, and jail time. But even before a verdict is reached, simply being charged can disrupt your life—damaging your reputation and making everyday tasks like finding housing, securing a job, obtaining professional licenses, or getting a loan far more difficult.

It’s not enough to hire just any lawyer—you need a Chicago defense attorney who thoroughly understands your specific charge and the Illinois criminal statute that governs it under 720 ILCS.

Andrew M. Weisberg offers unparalleled knowledge and experience to his clients, rooted in his deep understanding of how the Illinois criminal justice system operates from both sides. As a former Cook County prosecutor, he was responsible for using the law and specific statutes to secure convictions. This experience provided him with insight into how prosecutors think, as well as the tactics and strategies they often employ to prove a defendant’s guilt. Now, as a criminal defense attorney, he leverages this insider knowledge to benefit his clients.

Over the years, Mr. Weisberg has consistently achieved favorable outcomes for his clients, regardless of the charges they face. Often, this results in significantly reduced charges and penalties. In some cases, he has even managed to have charges dropped or dismissed entirely or has prevented charges from being filed during investigations.
