A good lawyer will now what you are being charged with and the best options to take to help get you out of or reduce your penalty. The money you spend will be worth it.

Petro is real good. Every week he summarizes a criminal defense decision by the 7th Circuit Court of appeals. Here is the address. http://mjpetro.typepad.com/7th_circuit_alert/

Also, Michael J. Petro’s web site has been active since 1994. This has led a number of competitor’s copying the site word for word around the country. In one instance, a lawyer from Florida didn’t even take the time to remove Michael J. Petro’s name from his new site.

Also, those creeps from FindLaw and Martindale shamelessly have copied Michael J. Petro’s site as well. This attorney Denise whoever is just the latest to steal the copy.

Anyway, check out the blog. real good.

It’s at http://chicagocrimelaw.wordpress.com/. I work on 26th St., not downtown, and my view of the criminal defense system is from that of a lawyer still getting their feet wet. But I’m enthusiastic, I used to write extensively throughout college on political commentary and I’m in the courts every day. If you want to know more, contact me at chicagocrimelaw@gmail.com.

About my divorce blog, I had to laugh. That’s pretty much everyone’s reaction!

Love your blog and keep up the good work!

I’m not really looking for a local defense lawyer because I might need one. I’d just like to read some commentary about local conditions and issues. And I’m wondering why one of the largest court systems in the world doesn’t have any crimlaw blogs.

As for your blog, uh, I don’t even want to go there because I wouldn’t want my wife to see it on the screen. Best of luck, though.

I have heard more than one lawyer complain that we are a little behind on internet technology compared to lawyers in other cities.

Also, if a criminal defense lawyer did start a blog, it would take them a really long time to reach the first page in Google because of all the older established websites and directories. So I doubt we’ll be seeing any criminal defense lawyer blogs anytime soon.

I just started blogging on divorce law about 4 months ago and my blog rankes #100+ for “Chicago Divorce Lawyer.” My blog is pretty good (I think) and I blog almost daily. Still, it will probably take a few years for anybody to access my blog through Google. The same will probably be true of a lawyer who starts criminal defense blog.

In the end, though, it is not so bad. The best way to find a good lawyer is still through a referral from a qualified source (such as a former client or another lawyer). Blogs and websites can only tell you so much about a person and their work.
