George A. January 2019

I highly recommend Miranda Law Offices.
On December 20th, 2018 I was going to the casino down in Hammond Indiana and was passing the skyway through Illinois. I never saw the speed limit marker so I was going 75 MPH when I saw red and blue lights behind me. I got pulled over and the cop told me that the speed limit was 45 MPH so I was definitely getting a misdemeanor in the state of Illinois. I also have a CDL class A so you can imagine how scared to death I felt. As soon as the ticket was handed to me I contacted Miranda Law Office and he made me feel relief right away. He told me not to worry that he was going to take care of everything. On January 11th, 2019 we went to court and my misdemeanor was moved down to a non-moving violation. I couldn’t be happier! Thanks again to Miranda law office for all his help.

I wouldn’t put my money and time into ANYONE ELSE BUT HERE. Very professional. Very caring. Very helpful. He has much experience in what he does. Even under pressure Miguel works amazingly. I am very pleased to say that he recommended what was best for me and my record, he followed through with my commands. I wouldn’t hesitate sending anyone under trouble, his way. By the way, he won’t rip you off! This office will always be spoken very highly about by me, period. Thanks Miguel, for kicking butt in court room every other month! He speaks both English and Spanish too!!

I just want to start off with thank you so much Miguel for everything during this 1yr case! You have been nothing but the best & first lawyer I ever had in my life & you really amazed me. Thank you for hearing me out personally, giving me life advice. I really do recommend Miranda to anyone looking for a lawyer my brother recommended him to me & I won’t ever regret going to him. He helped me out with my first case & it’s finally over since today! He always made sure I was okay and even gave me his personal & work phone numbers in case of anything. Miranda is a great lawyer & that’s something nobody can take from him. Thank you Miguel for your great skills! If I ever need a lawyer again you’re my lawyer from now on! Wish you the best in life, good luck in all your ongoing & future cases. Best wishes.

I am a fellow lawyer in the community. For the past 3+ years, I have had the opportunity of getting to know Miguel both personally and professionally. When you are in need of honest, diligent, thoughtful legal advice, look no further than Miguel Miranda. Miguel prides himself on exhaustive representation of his clients. As a former prosecutor, Miguel knows how the government thinks and uses it to his advantage to defend his clients to the best of his abilities. Miguel is also bilingual which is advantageous in a city like Chicago. I cannot say enough positive things about Miguel and would trust him to defend me or my family on any charge. I highly, highly recommend Miguel Miranda!

CASE 01 OF 15

The People of the State of Illinois V. DC

The defendant was charged with Driving under the Influence of Alcohol which is a class A misdemeanor in the state of Illinois. Furthermore, a conviction of this offense would result in a suspension of the Client’s driving privileges. The Defendant refused to submit to a BAC as a result she was looking at a 12 month driving suspension. Having A valid driver’s license was necessary as she drove to work every day and could not sustain a conviction. The Defendant Hired Miranda Law Office Miguel E. Miranda to represent her. Mr. Miranda being an experienced criminal lawyer as well as a former State’s Attorney, thoroughly reviewed the case file and police reports and submitted a petition to Rescind the Defendant’s suspension. The Petition was granted and the case was set for a trial. The Miranda Law office attacked the police officers memory, observations, and procedure and the police officer’s testimony was insufficient for a finding of guilty and the judge not only agreed to rescind her suspension on her license but also found the defendant NOT GUILTY of Driving under the Influence of Alcohol.

The defendant was charged with Criminal Sexual Assault. In Illinois this is the crime of rape and is a Class 1 Felony that is punishable by 4-15 years in prison as well as mandatory registration as a convicted sex offender. The Defendant, who was 21 years of age, was alleged to have forcibly raped his girlfriend’s 14-year old family member, while living in their home. It was the defendant’s position that this had never taken place and that the family just had a disliking to him and wanted him out of the picture. The Defendant in fear of going to prison and spending the rest of his life as a convicted sex offender, immediately hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel E. Miranda to represent him. A preliminary hearing was held in this case. A preliminary evidentiary hearing is a proceeding, after a criminal complaint has been filed by the prosecutor, to determine whether there is enough evidence to require a trial. The Judge must find probable cause in order to proceed with case. At the hearing the alleged victim testified and was cross-examined by Miranda Law Office, Miguel E Miranda. During the cross-examination Mr. Miranda poked numerous holes into the girl’s story. After the complaining witnesses testimony Mr. Miranda argued to the judge that the girls’ testimony was inconsistent and simply not credible. As a result of Mr. Miranda’s vigorous cross-examination the judge made a finding of no probable cause and the case was dismissed. The Defendant went home a free man without the fear of prison and without having to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

The Defendant was charged with Aggravated Assault to a Police Officer. In Illinois this is a class 4 felony that is punishable by 1-3 years in prison. According to the police officer he was responding to a call of gang disturbance, allegedly he encountered the defendant as he approached with an aggressive manner. The police officer then attempted to place the Defendant in custody in which the defendant allegedly attempted to aggressively defeat arrest. The defendant not wanting to go to prison and ruin his reputation as white collared citizen , hired Miranda Law Office Miguel E. Miranda, to represent him. This was a serious offense that needed to be handled by an experienced Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney. Mr. Miranda reviewed the case file and the numerous police reports, and developed a trial strategy. At trial the officer stumbled under vigorous cross examination by Mr. Miranda as he attacked the officer’s credibility. The Jury found the defendant NOT GUILTY claiming that officer’s statements were inconsistent and insufficient to find the Defendant guilty.

The Defendant was charged with Aggravated Unlawful use of a Weapon. This offense in Illinois is a class 4 felony punishable up to three years in prison without the possibility of probation. In this case, Chicago Police were investigating a shooting that had occurred the previous day. The police were given a general description of the possible shooter along with general area of where the shooting occurred. A Chicago Police officer observed the defendant walking down the street and instantly stopped him claiming that he fit the description of the alleged shooter. While questioning the Defendant of his whereabouts, the officer allegedly felt the outline of a pistol in defendant’s backpack, after searching the Defendant, the officer recovered a handgun from his backpack. In fear of jail time the Defendant hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel E. Miranda, to represent him. After thoroughly reviewing the file and police reports, Attorney Miranda came to the conclusion that the stop and search of the Defendant was illegal and filed a Motion to Quash, Stop Arrest and Suppress Evidence. A hearing was held on the motion and Judge agreed with Attorney Miranda’s argument that the stop and search of the defendant was without probable cause and violated the Defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights, which protects individuals from unreasonable search and seizures. The case was dismissed.

The Defendant was charged with aggravated Battery causing bodily harm and Vehicular Hijacking. An aggravated battery offense is a class 2 felony which is punishable up to 7 years in jail and a Vehicular Hijacking offense is a class 1 Felony which punishable up to 15 years in Jail. The Defendant was alleged to have beaten two individuals along with two other offenders and attempted to hijack one of the individual’s car. The Defendant in fear of going to prison and spending most his youthful years in jail hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel E. Miranda to represent him. In this case the Defendant professed his innocence and refused to take any offer from the State’s Attorney. After thoroughly reviewing the file and interviewing the defendant and witnesses, Mr. Miranda took the case to trial. At trial Mr. Miranda, cross examined the alleged victims and poked inconsistencies in their testimony. After the alleged victims’ testified, Mr. Miranda argued that witnesses were inconsistent and not credible, therefore the State could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, the judge agreed and found the defendant NOT GUILTY.

The Defendant was charged with Driving under the Influence of Alcohol as well as driving without a valid license. Both cases are misdemeanors in the state of Illinois and if convicted could face a possibility of time in jail. Furthermore, this college student was facing a possibility of losing his opportunity to adjust his status in the United States if convicted of a DUI. The Defendant qualified for a memorandum known as Deferred Action, that was passed by President Obama that if accepted he would be eligible for a working permit. However, a conviction of a DUI would disqualify him and he would possibly face removal proceedings. In fear of losing such a great opportunity the defendant hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel Miranda for his case. This was a serious charge that he was facing that could result in life changing circumstances. The Defendant needed an experienced Criminal Defense attorney. After thoroughly reviewing the file and police reports, Mr. Miranda put a mitigation packet together and sent it to Cook County State’s Attorney Office. The mitigation packet is comprehensive of the defendant’s life history, pinpointing good behavior as well as other of the Client’s attributes. Mr. Miranda emphasized on defendant’s education and showed the importance of how a conviction would ruin his life dream of becoming an engineer. The state’s attorneys office after reviewing the mitigation packet agreed to reduce the defendant’s charge of DUI to a reckless driving and dismiss all other charges. The judge agreed and the client was able to file for Deferred Action and currently obtained a internship with Motorola and subsequently earned his Bachelor's degree in engineering.

The Defendant was charged with aggravated Battery to a Peace Officer. An aggravated battery to a Peace Officer is a class 2 felony which is punishable up to seven years in jail. In this case Mount Prospect Police Officers responded to an anonymous complaint about loud music and minors possibly drinking. It was alleged that the defendant struck the police officers while trying to arrest her brother for Unlawful Consumption of Alcohol by a Minor. The defendant in fear of going to prison instead of enjoying her last year in high school hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel Miranda to represent her. Mr. Miranda after reviewing all files and interviewing the defendant and witnesses, he took the case to trial. Mr. Miranda vigorously cross examined all police officers that allegedly had been harmed by the defendant and developed inconsistencies with their testimony. After the conclusion of the officers testimony Mr. Miranda argued that the witnesses could not be believed or proof beyond a reasonable doubt was not present and the judge agreed and found the defendant NOT GUILTY.

The Defendant was charged with Aggravated Sexual Abuse to a Minor. This is a class 1 felony in the state of Illinois which is punishable from 4 to 15 years in jail without the possibility of probation. The defendant was alleged of fondling his girlfriend’s 11-year-old daughter. The girl claimed that she was in fear of the defendant and did not report the incident until weeks later. The Defendant was immediately placed into custody and was not given a bond. The defendant’s family hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel Miranda to represent him in this case. This is a very serious charge in the state of Illinois and the state had an overwhelming amount of evidence against the defendant. Defendant saw no hope in ever gaining his freedom. Mr. Miranda thoroughly reviewed the files and police reports and the first step Mr. Miranda made was successfully get the defendant out of Jail, on bond. Once the defendant was out on bond Mr. Miranda interviewed him and began plea bargaining with the state. Due to Mr. Miranda experience as a state’s attorney he was able to lower down the sentence from serving minimum of 4 years in jail to getting two years probation.

The Defendant was accused of 5 burglary charges, in the state of Illinois this is class 2 Felony which the defendant could face from 3 to 7 years in jail for each offense. Allegedly the defendant took a person’s phone and gold chain from her neck and fled by foot. According to the reports defendant repeated this offense four times with other victims around the area.

Mr. Miranda requested a 402 conference and began plea bargaining with State’s Attorney. A 402 Conference is an open negotiating process with the judge, state’s attorney and defendant’s attorney, where all relevant information is brought to table in order for the Judge to give a recommended sentence. In the first conference, the offer was 4 years jail time for all counts. Defendant refused to accept any offer that would take his freedom away.

The Defendant was caught with cannabis in his possession. In fear of jail time the Defendant hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel Miranda to handle his case. After reviewing the file and interviewing the Defendant Attorney Miranda came to the conclusion that the statute does not criminalize breath that smells like cannabis. Mr. Miranda demanded trial. At trial Mr. Miranda argued that the officer could not prove any amount of drugs in defendant’s breath, urine, or blood at the time of the arrest, therefore, there was not enough evidence to charge the client with a DUI. The judge agreed and found defendant NOT GUILTY of a DUI.

The Defendant was charged with Driving under the Influence of Alcohol which is a class A misdemeanor in the state of Illinois. Furthermore a conviction on this offense would result in a suspension of one’s driving privileges. The defendant refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test as a result he was looking at a 12 month driving suspension. To make matters worse the defendant’s career in education was on the line if a conviction would result in this case. With his career, reputation and freedom in jeopardy the defendant hired Miranda Law Office, Miguel Miranda to represent him in this case. After thoroughly reviewing the file and meeting with Defendant, Attorney Miranda came to the conclusion that the stop and search of the Defendant was illegal and filed a Motion to Quash, Stop Arrest and Suppress Evidence. At the hearing on the motion the Judge agreed with Attorney Miranda’s argument that the arrest of the defendant was without probable cause and it violated the Defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights which protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures.
