I have practiced law now for more than 1/2 of my life, focused primarily in the areas of Criminal Defense, DUI/Traffic Defense, Driver's License Reinstatement, and Immigration. In my 29 plus years of practicing law, I have tried cases ranging from First Degree Murder, on down to defending minor traffic and local ordinance tickets. I have appeared in Federal Courts, other State Courts on a pro hoc vice basis, such as Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Arizona. I believe that everyone, regardless of their "station in life" is entitled to the best defense that I can give them. I believe that our system of justice, while not perfect, is still the greatest in the world, and the Constitution and Bill of Rights offer the best chance of achieving Justice.. I like to think that no case is too big, or too small, for me to take on. The day that I can no longer find the words to speak on behalf of even the most unpopular client will be the day that I retire. I said that when I was in Law School, and I still say that today.

From a legal standpoint, I have done it all.  Starting as a Chicago Police Officer in the Cabrini Green Housing Project and ending up here, at the Cosgrove Law Firm LLC, I have an unmatchable range of experience.. As a Cook County prosecutor, I gained the trial skills necessary to assist my clients with their cases, sometimes conducting up to five trials a day for a period of two years.. As a Cook County Public Defender, I led the way in the fight against wrongful convictions, gaining the first DNA exoneration in the history of the Office and only the third in the history of Illinois.. In the Capital Trial Unit of the State Appellate Defender of Illinois, I led the fight against capital punishment.  As a member of a team of attorneys, I convinced the Governor of Illinois to clear death row because of the staggering amount of wrongful convictions.  I also represented more than 75 clients facing capital punishment and never saw a client sent to death row.. I then traveled to Puerto Rico where I lived for two years representing clients facing Federal capital punishment and training my fellow Federal Defenders in capital representation.. I have now returned to Chicago and have focused my skills and experience on providing the best defense available here, at home.. I can help you.
