The founder of our firm, attorney Larry Davis, brings a wealth of experience to your defense with over 35 years as a Cook County criminal defense attorney and as an attorney for the State of Illinois. Attorney Paul Serkland is a former prosecutor for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. Our legal team includes both former prosecutors and career criminal defense lawyers. We have extensive knowledge in all areas of criminal law including drug crimes, theft charges and battery offenses. We have provided effective legal representation in hundreds of criminal cases. We have also successfully petitioned for the expungement and sealing of a variety of criminal offenses. With well over 75 years of combined experience, you can have confidence that our team of criminal defense attorneys and former prosecutors will provide you with effective and aggressive representation.

Our criminal defense practice extends throughout Illinois and Chicago including Cook County, Lake County, and DuPage County. Our attorneys will aggressively defend your case through pre-trial motions, bench or jury trial and, where necessary, post-trial motions. When a trial is not in our client’s best interest, we can strategically negotiate favorable plea agreements, to minimize the disruption a criminal charge can create in our clients’ lives. Effective and meaningful negotiation skills can often be just as important as litigation skills.

We understand that every case is different and every client has unique needs, which is why we provide a tailored approach to legal representation. Your concerns and priorities help guide the important decisions that must be made throughout the legal process.
