Offering Effective Criminal Defense Representation
If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you might not know what you should do next. Should you believe the police or prosecutor who told you how much better off you'll be if you cooperate? Should you do whatever it takes to put this behind you as soon as possible? Should you talk to a lawyer and put up a fight?
At the law offices of Chrystel L. Gavlin, P.C., we understand how frightening an arrest can be and how intimidating it can be to deal with the police, prosecutors and full power of the state when you're all by yourself. We know because attorney Chrystel L. Gavlin spent more than five years as a prosecutor in the State's Attorney's Office, first in DuPage County and then in Will County. Our message to you is that you don't have to face your criminal case alone.
Criminal defense attorney Chrystel Gavlin knows the strategies prosecutors use to convict people and is aggressive in forcing the state to meet its burden of proof. Ms. Gavlin will explain your rights and options. She will be honest with you about the seriousness of your situation. She will personally represent you every step of the way, wherever the case takes us. Call or contact us for your free consultation today.

Serious Traffic Violations
Most people don't take traffic tickets seriously and instead of talking to a lawyer about their options (which usually costs nothing at a free consultation) — they simply choose to pay the fine and move on. Unfortunately, certain types of traffic violations are very serious and can even carry jail time. We provide aggressive, cost-effective legal representation to people who have been cited for a variety of traffic offenses, including reckless driving, driving while your license is suspended or speeding in a school or road construction work zone.
If your diver's license has been suspended for any reason, we can help. We help people obtain hardship licenses and also provide representation in Secretary of State reinstatement of license hearings.
