Criminal Defense in Chicago: general information
General information, not legal advice. Ask a lawyer about your situation.
- Most Cook County felony cases are heard at the Leighton Criminal Court Building at 26th and California; suburban cases go to the district courthouse that covers the area of the arrest.
- Illinois ended cash bail in 2023 under the Pretrial Fairness Act, so the first hearing is usually about release conditions. Ask a lawyer what to expect at yours.
- Ask whether the fee is a flat fee for the case or hourly, and whether a trial is included or priced separately.
- Avoid discussing the facts of a case with anyone other than your lawyer, including by text or on social media.
