Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

Re: Domestic Battery

If you were to need surgery would you operate on yourself? Of course you need an attorney. You don't have the knowledge of the law, procedure, evidence, or trial tactics to represent yourself. Abraham Lincoln once said "He who has himself for a lawyer has a fool for a client." Get yorself an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

If you were previously denied a public defender, you might want to try again. You may be eligible now due to your change in circumstances.

There are things you need to know about domestic battery in making your decisions. I suggest you look at the following websites:

Regarding your changed circumstances, you should request the judge revisit the issue of a public defender. You may now qualify when you did not before.
