Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I am arrested in McHenry?
Remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Do not answer questions without your attorney present. Your lawyer can help you understand the charges and the next steps in McHenry County.
How long do I have to be charged after an arrest in Illinois?
In Illinois, prosecutors must file charges within a specific time limit called the statute of limitations. For most felonies, the limit is three years, but for serious crimes like murder there is no limit. Your lawyer can check if the deadline has passed.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Illinois?
Misdemeanors are less serious crimes with penalties up to one year in jail, such as petty theft or simple assault. Felonies are more serious, like burglary or drug trafficking, and can result in prison sentences of one year or more. A lawyer can explain how Illinois law classifies your charge.
