Diligent and Dedicated Criminal and Civil Rights Attorneys
At Dvorak, Toppel & Barrido, LLC in Chicago, Illinois, we focus on the following practice areas:
- Civil rights - Violations of your civil rights do not always occur during an arrest. Clients also come to us victimized by sexual harassment and various other forms of discrimination.
- Police misconduct - At Dvorak, Toppel & Barrido, LLC, we do not back down from holding law enforcement personnel responsible for their misconduct. We have a successful track record in obtaining millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts in all sorts of police misconduct cases, including excessive force, false arrest, malicious prosecution, police shootings, and wrongful death.
- Drugs and narcotics - Our experience includes defending clients charged with drug crimes in state and federal courts. Our track record of success includes not only obtaining verdicts in our clients' favor, but also getting seized money and other property returned to our clients.
- Guns and weapons - If you are caught carrying a gun or accused of other armed offenses, contact our firm. We will ensure that you receive an aggressive defense against all charges against you.
- Federal criminal defense - Crimes involving drugs take up a significant amount of our federal casework. Our focus is on winning your federal drug case, but if that is not possible, you need an experienced federal criminal defense firm, such as Dvorak, Toppel & Barrido, LLC, to obtain the best possible sentence if that is what you seek.
- Sex crimes - The attorneys at our firm have extensive experience and success in securing favorable outcomes for our clients charged with sex crimes. We fight hard for the rights of our clients charged with these serious crimes and ensure that the facts come to light.
- Internet crimes - Internet crimes that involve child pornography or solicitation of a minor present challenges in building a defense. Often times, these cases involve complex legal defenses, especially in crimes involving computers, which may necessitate expert witnesses and, of course, lawyers with experience in this area of the law.
- Criminal appeals - Our appellate experience has taken us to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the Illinois Supreme Court, and three different Appellate Courts in Illinois. We bring that experience to benefit our clients in appealing their convictions.
Homicides/murders/reckless homicide - As one of only a limited number of attorneys admitted to argue death penalty cases as a First Chair lawyer, Brian Barrido can be your best advocate if you or a family member is facing the death penalty. Additionally, both Richard Dvorak and Neil Toppel handle these types of cases as well, providing the firm with a deep well of collective experience for any client to draw upon. Do not delay in contacting us for experience and aggressive representation.
