I am a former prosecutor and Assistant State’s Attorney in Cook County, IL, one of the largest prosecutorial offices in the world. As a prosecutor and Assistant State’s Attorney, I earned a reputation for persistence and toughness while having drive, compassion, extensive legal knowledge and prolific courtroom skills. With the same veal and vigor that I had as prosecutor, I now use to represent those accused of crimes. As a criminal defense attorney, I am dedicated to ensuring justice and due process for the accused. I know how a prosecutorial office works and thinks and how a case against an accused is put together. I have prosecuted, at the trial or appellate level, cases ranging from murder to DUI. I have tried hundreds of bench trials and jury trials and I have argued in front of and have been published by the Illinois Appellate Court. Quite simply put, I know how you got into the system and I have the knowledge to get you out. That experience is why those accused of crimes turn to Jaleel Law P.C. for their criminal defense at trial and on appeal.
