Eric J. Bell, Attorney At Law

To try and answer all their questions and address their concerns.  Being charged with a crime is very challenging for the arrested individual and their family.  I will quickly try to assess the specifics of the case and formulate appropriate strategies.  Every case is different.  No case is too small or too complicated.  Please contact me for a free initial consultation. 

I have been a criminal defense attorney for over 20 years.  I have tried hundreds of cases, from DUI to first degree murder.  I formerly was a judicial law clerk for a panel of judges at the Criminal Courts Building in Chicago.  This experience was valuable and eye-opening; I learned behind the scenes how judges think.  I am familiar with all stages of litigation - from initial arrest to complicated post-conviction remedies.

Every case is different.  People are arrested under different circumstances.  I always believe in being straight forward with estimated legal fees.  I believe in providing excellent legal services at a reasonable price.  Contact me for a free initial consulation.

I always wanted to be a criminal defense attorney.  I was never a prosecutor who decided to switch sides to make a better living.  Quite simply, I enjoy fighting for the underdog.

I have worked with all types of individuals, from all walks of life.  Unfortunately, all people make mistakes or find themselves in difficult situations.  I am here to help.

Helping people put their lives back together.  Being charged with a crime not only jeopardizes your liberty, it can impact many things that we all take for granted.

You must be comfortable with the lawyer you have hired.  You are placing a lot of trust in their hands.  You need to feel confident that the lawyer is looking out for your best interests.

Be straight-forward and truthful with your lawyer.
