The first attorney to respond is correct. There is no doubt that your brother needs to hire the very best criminal defense attorney he can afford. The attorney will determine whether there is any way to successfully defend the charge against your brother, and if not, will exert every effort to negotiate a plea bargain that will keep your brother from incarceration. There are many factors involved in this process which are important and upon which we have no information. If the current charges are pending in a jurisdiction that I serve, I would be willing to speak with you by telephone. I have handled serious criminal cases throughout Illinois for almost thirty years. Please feel free to give me a call.
