Located about a half hour south of Chicago, Markham Illinois has burgeoned into a vibrant bustling city since it was founded in 1925 with just 300 residents. Today, Markham is home to over 12,000 people with a diverse mix of residential, industrial, and commercial uses. For nature lovers, Markham has over 2000 acres of prairies within city boundaries. In addition, Markham has produced several professional athletes for the National Football League and Major League Baseball including Rodney Harrison, Denny McLain, and Floyd Fields.

Located in downtown Chicago, the Law Offices of Chris M. Shepherd serves people in Markham and the surrounding areas. All clients are given proper attention and care; early and aggressive investigations and thorough legal research are employed to find and use any weaknesses in the case against you and discover any evidence in your favor. In addition, your phone calls and email will be answered promptly and you will have direct access to me personally for all of your questions and concerns.

Facing criminal charges is stressful both emotionally and financially. As a Chicago criminal lawyer I concentrate my practice on defending people accused of drug offenses, violent crime, and sexual misconduct. Focusing on criminal defense law is the best way to maximize the client's chances of either beating the case totally or negotiating a fair settlement with prosecutors. The firm publishes a blog to educate and empower its clients and readers.
