She subsequently served as the First Assistant Public Defender in the McLean County Public Defender's Office, ensuring high-quality defense for local citizens. Because Jennifer has successfully managed cases from both the prosecution and defense sides, she knows exactly how prosecutors build their cases, evaluate evidence, and negotiate plea arrangements.Our firm represents defendants facing a wide range of criminal matters in Central Illinois state and juvenile courts, including:

• Felonies and Misdemeanors: From theft, burglary, and drug offenses to complex aggravated sexual assault charges and violent crimes, we protect your constitutional rights and fight for dismissals or reductions of charges.
