Alternatives to a Prison Sentence
Chicago Defense Attorney Thomas Hallock's primary goal is always to obtain a complete dismissal
of your charges or a not guilty verdict at trial. If this is not an option,
his fallback position is to obtain court supervision or expungeable probation.
Both options give you the opportunity to avoid incarceration and dispose
of the charges without a conviction. Depending on the circumstances, you
may be able to remove the arrest from your
criminal record.
