CHICAGO CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you already know that a powerful and organized government is moving against your record, your job, your reputation, and maybe even your freedom. You shouldn’t face this alone, but, the wrong lawyer could make things even worse. Who can you trust?

I am attorney Chris M. Shepherd, a veteran defender of hundreds of felony and misdemeanor prosecutions. Here is why you can trust me to defend you:


  • Your case will get the individual time and attention it deserves. The only way to protect your record, your reputation, your job, and your freedom, is to out-work, out-investigate, and out-prepare the prosecution.
  • I will always keep you up to date and informed about your case and will always return phone calls and email within 48 hours.
  • Results. I have earned “not guilty” verdicts and dismissals for my clients accused of everything from violent crime, to sexual misconduct, to drug offenses. Click here to read more about some past results.
  • Every case is thoroughly investigated. The success of your case may depend on whether or not your lawyer conducts a thorough investigation. You may be able to win your case before it ever gets to court by obtaining a crucial piece of video, interviewing a witness early, or finding a conviction in your accuser’s background.
  • I will attempt to have your case dismissed prior to trial. By keeping current on the newest cases and constantly changing laws, you will have the latest cutting edge defenses that many other lawyers overlook.
