Military Criminal Defense in Illinois
We are also skilled in the area of military criminal defense. In fact, attorney Charles Schierer once served our country as a Navy JAG prosecutor, a role that gave him a close familiarity with all aspects of military trials. Today, he puts that experience to work for those who have been accused of committing crimes in the armed forces.
Experienced Attorneys, Prepared For All Cases
Collectively, the Peoria criminal defense lawyers at Schierer & Ritchie, LLC have over three decades of experience helping people with their criminal cases. We are ready to assist with a wide range of legal issues, including:
- DUI (driving under the influence)
- Drug crimes such as possession, distribution, or trafficking
- Violent offenses such as assault or murder
- Sex offenses such as rape or online solicitation of a minor
- Theft offenses such as shoplifting or burglary
Our attorneys are skilled at both the trial and appellate levels. In fact, Charles Schierer and Tiffany Ritchie once defended a client before the Illinois Supreme Court, successfully resolving the issue in their client's favor. A select few attorneys have accomplished this. No matter how difficult or complex your case becomes, our law firm will be with you every step of the way.
We have the resources to take on even the most challenging criminal cases. For example, not all criminal defense attorneys are prepared to assist clients who are facing federal criminal charges. We are. Our law firm is meticulous in investigating and defending federal offenses, carefully maneuvering our clients into the best position possible.
We offer free consultations to all prospective clients. To contact our law office, please call us at (309) 518-1007.
