Aggressive Chicago Area Juvenile Lawyer

A tough attorney helping kids in the juvenile and criminal justice systems

Children’s criminal cases are handled differently than those of adults. The criminal courts have long recognized that children’s developing minds are not able to comprehend their actions and understand consequences in the same manner as an adult’s mature brain. Juvenile offenders therefore warrant a unique approach focused on rehabilitation. With compassion for the children accused of crimes, Lori G. Levin zealously represents them in the juvenile justice system. She can defend your child against criminal prosecution in all cases, including:

  • Felonies
  • Drug crimes
  • Assault and Battery
  • Burglary
  • Domestic Violence
  • Drug Charges
  • DUI
  • Expungements
  • Misdemeanors
  • Murder
  • Probation Violations
  • Retail Theft or Shoplifting
  • Violent Crimes
  • Weapons Violations

Steering your child in the right direction

Lori G. Levin will vigorously defend your child. Additionally, primary elements of a successful juvenile defense are mitigating punishment, keeping your child’s record clean and reducing the possibility that your child will commit future crimes. Juvenile detention centers are scary, hostile places. Defense attorney Lori Levin fights to have your child be found not guilty, to avoid potential detention, and, where warranted, assertively pursues such alternatives as community service, probation and diversion programs. She also approaches her juvenile cases with an eye toward your child’s ultimate success and so considers how an arrest will affect educational and employment opportunities.

Committed to juveniles in the juvenile justice system

Lori Levin has devoted more than 30 years of her career to the practice of criminal law. Her many years as a trial attorney at the Cook County State Attorney’s Office provides her with insight into the procedures and mind-frame of the prosecutor’s office. Additionally, her experience with state-wide juvenile justice programs aids her in fighting for alternatives for her juvenile clients. During her six years as executive director of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, Lori Levin served on the Juvenile Justice ReDeploy Illinois Steering Committee, thereby affording her the chance to influence juvenile justice policy. When your child is in trouble, this level of experience and commitment can make all the difference.

Intervening in cases of adult interaction with the Juvenile Court system and the Department of Children and Family Services

Levin helps adults and juveniles who interface with the system, vigorously fighting for parents in Juvenile Court and persons pursuing appeals of administrative findings of abuse or neglect by DCFS.
