Resisting Arrest or Obstructing

Criminal Defense Attorney serving the Cook, Lake, Will, and DuPage County Areas

Police officers wield significant power, authority, and carry out crucial responsibilities. However, any action that might be perceived as obstructing or delaying an officer's investigation or performance can result in charges against you. Disputes, altercations, or even difficult situations can quickly escalate, even if you're simply attempting to share your side of the story or if the officer exceeds their own authority.

Navigating such charges can be immensely challenging. It's important to recognize that judges and juries often instinctively trust the credibility of police officers, making the legal landscape unforgiving for defendants in these situations. Therefore, it is paramount to have an experienced attorney on your side who understands how to effectively defend you against the power of the police and the State.

Having an attorney with comprehensive knowledge of the legal system and expertise in handling cases involving law enforcement can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. They will work tirelessly to challenge the prosecution's evidence, protect your rights, and ensure that your side of the story is heard.

Don't face the power imbalance alone. Seek the support and guidance of an experienced attorney from the Law Offices of Richard Waller who is well-versed in defending against the authority of the police and the State.
