When charged with a crime, it is important to know that your lawyer has the experience necessary to protect your rights. With 26 years of criminal law experience, criminal defense attorney Salvatore C. Miglore has defended countless Illinois residents charged with a crime. Contact our Wheaton law offices to schedule an initial consultation.

Our firm will aggressively defend you against criminal charges even before trial. Many trials are won or lost before you step foot into a courtroom. We employ forensic experts and criminal investigators to determine the strength of the state's case against you.

We represent people charged with felonies and misdemeanors during all stages of a trial including sentencing and post-sentencing relief. In addition, we carefully consider the impact criminal charges will have on your immigration status. Some of the criminal matters in which we provide aggressive representation include:

• Murder and Violent Crimes: We defend people charged with capital murder, homicide, domestic battery, domestic violence, aggravated assault, manslaughter, child abuse and assault charges alleging shaken baby syndrome, armed robbery and other violent crimes.
• Drug Crimes: Criminal defense lawyer Miglore will investigate the constitutional issues associated with your arrest and charges for a drug crime such as drug possession, sale, distribution, manufacture and cultivation.
• DUI/Traffic Violations: We defend people charged with drunk driving, speeding, reckless driving and other traffic violations. We also work hard to help you keep your driver's license valid or obtain a limited use license following a conviction for a DUI or traffic violation.
• Sex Crimes: A sex offense is a very serious crime and often requires a mandatory minimum jail sentence if convicted. If you have been charged with rape, criminal sexual assault, or sex with a minor, it is important to hire an experienced lawyer to defend you and protect your future.
• White Collar Crimes: We handle highly complex white collar crime matters, such as fraud, embezzlement, racketeering (RICO), money laundering and other serious crimes.
• License Reinstatements and Expungements: We represent clients at hearings to obtain reinstatement of their Illinois driver's license following a DUI arrest or conviction for a traffic offense. If you qualify, our attorney can help you have your criminal record expunged. 
• Juvenile crimes: Our law firm is dedicated to protecting the rights of minors facing criminal charges for theft/shoplifting, vandalism, assault, juvenile delinquency and other juvenile crimes.
