Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

At the law office of DiBenedetto & Kendall, P.C., in Clarendon Hills, Illinois, each lawyer brings more than two decades of proven experience and a full range of resources behind our DuPage and Cook County criminal defense cases. We work to find the right solution whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a more serious felony. For our attorneys, there is no such thing as a minor or unimportant criminal charge. We understand that any criminal record can have lasting impact and possible consequences both immediate and long-term.

In choosing a criminal defense attorney, it is essential to know their capabilities in the thick of a fight. Some law offices have lead counsel with decades of success handling a case like yours but would hand you off to a junior attorney the moment you walk through the door. No matter what charges you’re facing, it is crucial that you have confidence in the ability and commitment of your representation, knowing that your lawyer is going to work hard to handle your case. That’s what we believe, and it’s what we practice.

A criminal charge can be a devastating and life-changing event and we treat every case with that in mind. We can promise you that with our decades of experience, we will fight effectively and aggressively on your behalf. Call 630-323-2366 or contact us today to schedule an initial consultation and find out more about our approach to criminal defense.

Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

- Felonies

From a background prosecuting some of the most serious felony charges in DuPage and Cook county, our lawyers bring experience and a knowledge of how to overcome a prosecution's case to the practice of criminal defense. We know how serious a felony conviction can affect your future and your rights. We also know how aggressively prosecutors go after these cases.

- Misdemeanors

When you sit down and consult with a lawyer for your misdemeanor criminal defense, you expect that attorney to be the one who will fight for your case. In larger firms you may sit down with an experienced lawyer, but end up having your actual case handled by someone with less experience.

- DUI

For some of our clients, a DUI charge is the first run-in they have had with law enforcement — their first introduction into a hostile and aggressive legal system. As the handcuffs go on, there at the side of the road or the next morning, the emotions, worry and stress can seem overwhelming.

- Drug Charge

Almost all drug charges carry the potential for a felony conviction leading to jail time, a prison sentence, fines and long term consequences. When facing drug charges, you need strong, reliable criminal defense representation that is based on substantial trial experience and a history of proven results.

- Violent Crimes

A night out on the town, an encounter in heavy traffic or a disagreement among neighbors, a tense situation can escalate out of control and end in a physical confrontation. Quite often a violent crime isn't one planned ahead of time. It is one that arises in a whirlwind of words and action, and the consequences can end up being serious.

- Domestic Violence

A domestic violence charge alone, to say nothing of a conviction, carries immediate and substantial consequences. Under certain condition you can be evicted from your home and be denied access to your family and children, simply based on accusations. With very little evidence, these cases can become life changing.

- Sex Crimes

Sex crimes charges obviously carry the possibility of jail or prison time, but they can also have an impact on your life long after a sentence is served. They can permanently affect your relationships with family, impact where you are allowed to live and what jobs you are allowed to hold, and most significantly, a sex crime conviction may force you to register as a sex offender for years or decades to come. These cases often involve DNA or other forensic evidence.

- Juvenile Crimes

Not every juvenile gets in trouble with the law, but part of being young is making mistakes, exploring boundaries and pushing authority. Our attorneys work to make sure that the juveniles who are accused of criminal activity have the opportunity to avoid having that criminal charge become a permanent barrier to education or employment.

- Property Crimes

Anyone can be accused of a property or theft crime. Often it is the teenager stealing beer from someone's garage refrigerator or the impulsive parent that makes a bad decision and is caught trying to shoplift at the mall. We represent people of all walks of life, people with mortgages and full time jobs who are accused of making an unfortunate and potentially damaging decision.
