Three former prosecutors serving Cook County since 1978 — fighting for your freedom
When you hire Cook County DUI Defense Team, you don't get one attorney – you get a team of former prosecutors who collaborate on every case, bringing decades of combined legal experience to your defense.
Established in 1978 as part of Stavros Law Offices, our criminal defense practice has grown into Cook County's premier DUI and criminal defense team. Every attorney on our team is a former prosecutor with years of courtroom experience, giving us unique insight into how the state builds its cases – and how to defeat them.
We believe in a team approach because complex cases require multiple perspectives. While other firms assign your case to a single attorney, we bring together the collective expertise of our entire team to develop the strongest possible defense strategy for clients throughout Cook County, Cook County, and McHenry County.

Contact JustinWhen you're facing DUI charges or other criminal charges in Cook County, you need an attorney who understands how the other side thinks. Our team of former prosecutors brings unique advantages to your defense:
We've built prosecution cases ourselves. We know what evidence they need, what witnesses they rely on, and where their cases are weak.
We've worked with Cook County prosecutors and know the judges in our courts in Rolling Meadows, Skokie, Bridgeview, and throughout the county. These relationships help us negotiate better outcomes.
Our prosecution experience helps us identify procedural errors, constitutional violations, and evidentiary issues that can get your case dismissed.
We've tried countless cases from the prosecution side. Now we use that trial experience to defend you aggressively in the courtroom.
"The Cook County Defense Team has been the best! Justin has helped me with a couple cases these last few months and he's been excellent! From the very beginning, he's been very professional, highly knowledgeable, and extremely reliable!"
