Penalties in Illinois

The attorneys at David S. Olshansky & Associates have put together this useful guide to sentencing and potential jail exposure. This guide is a general reference, as there are facts and circumstances that may take any case out of the general guidelines. Although a good starting point, all cases need to be examined by a criminal law attorney to determine exactly what charges and the potential penalty could be.
