Experienced Criminal and Juvenile Defense
When you or your child are facing criminal charges, the experience of your attorney can make the difference between a conviction and a second chance. Lori G. Levin, Attorney at Law, offers over 30 years of experience in the criminal justice system. As a former prosecutor and supervisor with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, Lori Levin possesses a unique insight into how the prosecution builds its case. She uses this insider knowledge to craft aggressive, strategic defenses for her clients. Whether you are dealing with a felony charge, a juvenile delinquency petition, or a sensitive mental health matter, our firm provides the compassionate yet tenacious representation you deserve.
DCFS Investigations and Appeals
One of our firm’s most specialized areas of practice is representing individuals involved with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). An ‘indicated’ finding of abuse or neglect can have devastating consequences for your career and family life. Lori Levin is a leading authority in this niche field, helping parents, teachers, and childcare workers navigate:
- DCFS Investigations: Intervening early to protect your rights during the investigative process.
- Administrative Appeals: Fighting to overturn indicated findings of abuse or neglect.
- Expungements: Working to clear your name from the State Central Register.
Juvenile Justice and Mental Health
We believe that a mistake shouldn’t define a child’s future. We vigorously defend minors in juvenile court, focusing on rehabilitation and alternative sentencing rather than punishment. Additionally, Lori Levin is a passionate advocate in Mental Health Law, assisting families with civil commitments, forced treatment hearings, and cases where mental illness intersects with the criminal justice system. 🧠
Criminal Defense Expertise
Our criminal defense practice covers a broad spectrum of offenses, including:
- Felonies and Misdemeanors: Theft, assault, drug possession, and white-collar crimes.
- Domestic Violence: Defending against orders of protection and criminal charges.
- Expungements and Sealing: Helping you erase a criminal record to open up new opportunities for employment and housing.
