Our nationally recognized civil rights and criminal defense team at the law firm of Erickson & Oppenheimer, Ltd., provides dedicated legal services to clients in the Chicago, Illinois, area and throughout Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Having more than 45 years of trial experience, we tenaciously advocate on behalf of those facing criminal charges, as well as people whose rights have been violated during a law enforcement investigation or arrest.
Founded with the purpose of providing every client with the focused legal counsel that he or she deserves, our law firm is committed to helping those we represent to achieve the best outcomes possible in their cases. Never simply pushing clients toward plea deals that are not in their best interests to obtain a quick resolution, we have obtained not guilty verdicts on behalf of clients in cases involving drug offenses, financial and white collar crimes, domestic violence, battery, weapons offenses and murder.
Too often, those in the community who are charged with upholding people's constitutional rights are the ones who violate them. When people fall victim to law enforcement brutality or other such misconduct, they may feel they have nowhere to turn. Offering the individual attention and compassionate assistance people need in a small-firm setting, we also provide the big-firm resources and reach necessary to help protect their rights and hold the authorities accountable. Since establishing our law firm in 2004, our team at Erickson & Oppenheimer, Ltd., has recovered millions of dollars in compensation for our clients.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
