We can all make a mistake despite our best intentions. Oftentimes, we will first attempt to negotiate with the prosecutor in an attempt to reach an amicable and favorable resolution. Our attorneys often seek a reduction of the charge from a criminal offense to a petty offense. An amendment of the charge to a lesser offense may be achieved under the right set of circumstances. A sentence of court supervision can prevent the entry of a conviction on your public record. Of course, our Lake County traffic lawyers are prepared to challenge the charge at trial if necessary. Every case is unique and must be handled accordingly based on the facts.
