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.
