Orland Park Criminal Defense Attorney
Attorney James A. Payonk Jr.
At my law offices in Chicago and Orland Park, I provide dedicated and experienced legal representation for people charged with a crime. Although I handle a wide range of criminal law matters, I concentrate primarily in cases involving felony charges.
I represent adults and juveniles. I have defended clients in state and federal court. Some of the criminal law matters I handle include:
- Drug charges — possession/trafficking/distribution/manufacture
- DUI/DWI
- Felony theft/robbery/burglary
- Murder/manslaughter
- Weapons Violations
- Aggravated assault
- Vehicular homicide
- Kidnapping
- Arson
I offer a free consultation to discuss your legal rights and interests. To contact me regarding a criminal charge, call 708-633-6005.
Experience Matters
Criminal cases are highly complex. I have more than 25 years of legal experience and have handled more than 200 trials that have gone to verdict.
I fight for each client to obtain the best possible result. I perform a thorough review of all of the evidence in each case, assessing and analyzing every aspect of the case.
If the prosecution does not have a strong case, I will not hesitate to take your case to trial to protect your rights and interests, if that is what you want. If the state has a strong case against you, I will advise you of the risks you face. If you choose to go to trial despite the risks, I will fight hard for you, aggressively represent you and argue passionately on your behalf. If you choose to pursue a plea agreement, I will use my 25-plus years of legal experience to negotiate the best possible sentence for you under the law.
