They have achieved remarkable success in federal criminal trials, with eight separate cases where the jury did not return a single guilty verdict against their clients. In seven out of these eight cases, the clients were completely acquitted. In the eighth case, there was one count against their client, but it resulted in a mistrial for that particular count.
This level of success is highly unusual in federal court, where many lawyers may never experience a “not guilty” verdict in a criminal trial, or may only experience it once or twice in their careers. Their track record of eight such cases highlights their exceptional ability to successfully defend clients against federal charges, both in Chicago and beyond.
Chicago, IL criminal defense attorney Michael Leonard discusses how many federal criminal trials he’s won and why. He explains that we have achieved remarkable success in our federal criminal cases, with a notable record of eight separate instances where the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on every count against our clients. In seven out of these eight cases, our clients walked away completely free, while in the remaining case, one count resulted in a mistrial. This level of success is highly uncommon in federal court, where many lawyers have not experienced the exhilaration of a not guilty verdict in a criminal trial. Some may have achieved this outcome once or twice, but we proudly boast an impressive tally of eight instances. Our ability to consistently prevail against federal prosecutors in criminal trials, both in Chicago and elsewhere, sets us apart and serves as a testament to our expertise and effectiveness.
