Firm Information
Overview
Hammel Law Offices P.C. in Joliet, Illinois, focuses on criminal defense, DUI and traffic matters for clients throughout Illinois. Since 1989, our attorneys have represented people facing the uncertainty and consequences that can accompany an accusation or traffic-related offense. Founded by Ted P. Hammel, our firm takes a fact-focused approach to each case, beginning with a thorough assessment of the circumstances and an explanation of the legal issues that may affect the outcome.
Facing criminal charges can be overwhelming, particularly when the potential penalties are significant. We believe clients are better positioned to make informed decisions when they understand their rights, the allegations against them and the possible paths forward. We keep our clients involved throughout the process while investigating the circumstances of their cases and examining the evidence for weaknesses. We also identify practical steps clients can take to strengthen their position as their cases move forward.
Our criminal defense practice covers a broad range of matters. Whether a client is facing DUI charges or another criminal allegation, we work to understand the facts before determining how to approach the defense. We also handle traffic matters and appeals involving criminal and civil court decisions. Our attorneys draw on decades of experience navigating Illinois' criminal justice system while tailoring their approach to the circumstances of each case.
Our experience is also reflected in our involvement within the legal community. Our attorneys regularly share their knowledge with other lawyers through seminars and articles addressing criminal defense topics, including publications associated with the Illinois State Bar Association. This ongoing professional involvement allows us to remain engaged with developments affecting criminal defense practice.
At Hammel Law Offices P.C., we understand that every case presents its own facts and challenges. If you have been accused of a crime, are charged with DUI or are dealing with a traffic matter, contact our Joliet office to discuss your situation. We will help you understand your rights, assess the circumstances and determine the legal options available to you.
