His experience includes representing clients in drug crimes, white collar crimes, and serious sex offenses, allowing him to develop defense strategies tailored to each specific case.

Weisberg’s background as a prosecutor provides him with insight into how police officers and prosecutors build cases, what evidence matters, and how to challenge that evidence to create reasonable doubt.

Weisberg’s standing as a former prosecutor and his consistent A+ rating with the BBB reflect a practice known for its aggressive defense strategies and deep familiarity with Cook County courts. His ability to identify opportunities for dismissal and deferred prosecution, particularly in retail theft and sex offense cases, distinguishes the firm among local criminal defense attorneys.
