Representing Clients Charged With Serious Crimes

Our attorneys are prepared to represent you in cases involving misdemeanor and felony charges. Our legal strategies are informed by clear legal precedents, years of study, and hundreds of cases that we have personally handled. We defend clients across a wide variety of cases, including:

• Assault/Battery: We can make a case for self-defense on your behalf, or we can call out the discrepancies between the police report and witness statements.
• Domestic Violence: Our attorneys can dispute false allegations of physical harm to family members by establishing an alibi or calling the accuser's credibility into question based on issues such as substance abuse or mental illness.
• Sex Crimes: We can question whether a sex act actually happened, if consent was freely given, and if there is adequate evidence to prove guilt
• Harassment and Stalking: Our criminal defense lawyers can dispute the accuser's account if contact was invited, or we can look at whether the accuser has something to gain from making the allegation.
• Weapons Charges: We can consider whether evidence was obtained from an illegal search, if there was probable cause to make an arrest, or if the weapon truly belonged to you.
• Theft/Burglary: Our attorneys can make a case for mistakes of fact if the property was already paid for or if the "stolen" property rightfully belonged to you.

The lawyers at Komie and Associates approach every case with confidence. Attorney Stephen M. Komie has a history of victories across the full spectrum of criminal law. He has secured acquittals for clients accused of violent crimes, including murder and sexual assault, and in many cases, he has been able to have prison time significantly reduced or secured probation instead of jail time.

Appeals for Criminal Convictions

It is an unfortunate fact of our legal system that innocent people are sometimes wrongfully convicted of crimes. Appeals may allow defendants to dispute wrongful verdicts and address errors during a trial that led to unjust results. We can pursue appeals based on grounds such as:

• Illegally obtained evidence used to secure a conviction.
• Evidence that was intentionally withheld by prosecutors.
• A sentence that was disproportionate to the crime.
• Violations of a defendant's rights during legal proceedings, such as an arrest without a warrant.
• Failure of a defendant's legal counsel to adequately represent them in court.

If you believe you received an unjust sentence or were wrongfully convicted, a criminal defense attorney at Komie and Associates can advise you on whether it may be possible to take the matter to appellate court. Attorney Stephen M. Komie has successfully represented clients in several appeals, including victories before the Illinois Supreme Court.
