Illinois Civil Defense Lawyers
In all of our practice areas, much of our success at The Sotos Law Firm is due to the quality of the investigations we perform for our clients. It is critical to be proactive in questioning the veracity of any charges that may be brought against you or your agency. We ask the tough questions at the outset in order to develop and implement the most effective defense strategy available. We believe that decisions about whether to litigate a case to trial or to seek an amicable resolution should be made as soon as possible in order to avoid wasting money and time. Our prompt investigations enable us to thoroughly evaluate your case at the outset, and lay out a defense strategy in which you will have complete confidence.
Our case results demonstrate our enviable success rate and the vast wealth of our experience in a wide range of civil defense issues. Our first priority is always to ensure your professional reputation is vigorously defended, regardless of the charges brought against you. As Chicagoland municipal defense attorneys, we are dedicated to expertly defending police officers, prosecutors, other government professionals, and governmental entities accused of wrongdoing.
Police defense cases include anything from wrongful prosecution to excessive force, false arrest, search and seizure, or racial profiling. The attorneys at The Sotos Law Firm have been achieving outstanding results in defending these types of cases for over a quarter century.
Prosecutor defense strategies for malicious prosecution and wrongful conviction claims can be complex and require extreme knowledge and diligence in ferreting out the facts of a past criminal prosecution. Understanding the intricacies of the immunities prosecutors enjoy is critical to the defense of such cases. We have successfully defended Illinois prosecutors in these cases not only in state and federal trial and appellate courts, but also in the United States Supreme Court. We are also experienced in handling ARDC complaints against prosecutors and advising clients on the best course of action for such claims.
Jail defense Defense of correctional facilities is another area in which The Sotos Law Firm has extensive experience. These cases often involve an inmate or class of inmates claiming some form of mistreatment or neglect and require an aggressive and firm response. Our lawyers have been working with Illinois correctional facilities on such cases for many years, and we fully understand, and are able to persuasively articulate, the administrative burdens and security concerns that can lead to such claims.
Employment defense cases are becoming increasingly prominent as more and more laws are created in an attempt to redress all forms of employment discrimination. While some of these claims have merit, many others simply reflect a disgruntled employee attempting to make a federal case out of an appropriate, though difficult, employment decision. As experienced employment discrimination defense attorneys, we can help you determine the veracity of any claims, what defenses are available under the law, and what course of action best enables you to address the matter and move forward with your business.
Municipal tort cases require experienced Illinois municipal torts attorneys with comprehensive knowledge in all matters of tort liability and immunities. At The Sotos Law Firm, we have in-depth knowledge of the Tort Immunity Act, having successfully defended numerous municipal liability cases, including negligence, personal injury and willful misconduct.
Land use services offered by The Sotos Law Firm include extensive experience successfully defending municipalities and county governments against litigation arising from zoning issues, special uses, licensing, annexation and development agreements, among many other issues.
