Brian M. Krause understands that being charged with any crime, even a misdemeanor, is a serious matter for you and your family. A conviction could damage both your reputation and your job prospects. Whether the charge involves an act of vandalism, minor theft, or an assault, we will give your case our full attention and put on a vigorous defense for you.
Attorney Krause is focused primarily on misdemeanors, allegations of sexual abuse on college and high school campuses, and defending accusations of domestic violence and orders of protection. With over a decade of experience in legal practice in the western suburbs of Cook County, attorney Krause is particularly sensitive to the possibility of falsified or erroneous accusations in domestic and sex-related cases.
Brian M. Krause is prepared to defend clients accused of crimes such as:
If you have been charged with possession of less than 100g of cannabis, you want a lawyer who is familiar with the county prosecutor assigned to your case, as well as the latest laws and court cases related to the use of drug-detection dogs and what constitutes probable cause for police to conduct a search of your person, car, or home.
Similarly, if you have been accused of domestic violence and served with an order of protection, you want an attorney who regularly acts on the defense side, as opposed to one who focuses on supporting the alleged victim's side.
By keeping our focus limited, we have developed the knowledge and skill to mount a successful defense of your drug, sexual misconduct or battery case throughout the Cook County area.
