Illinois Criminal Defense Attorney
I am Charles E. Rapin, Attorney at Law. I represent clients in family law, estate planning and criminal defense matters in Illinois and Wisconsin. If you need an experienced and dedicated lawyer, contact my office to schedule a free initial consultation.
More than 24 Years of Experience
I have been a practicing attorney for more than 24 years. As a former assistant state's attorney for Lake County and in my private practice, I have represented clients with many different legal issues. In that time, I have learned to tailor my approach to the specific needs of each client.
From my law office in Grayslake, I serve clients in Illinois and Wisconsin. I am licensed to practice in both states, as well as the federal courts in the Northern District of Illinois. For 24 years, I have also been a licensed arbitrator in Illinois.
My Approach
I focus my practice on handling cases in three main areas of the law:
My experience allows me to evaluate cases fairly and accurately. I advise you regarding the strengths and weaknesses of your case so we can decide on the best way to proceed. Whether you are getting a divorce, concerned about child custody decisions, facing DUI charges or looking to establish a plan for your estate, I can help.
I try to find the best way to resolve my client's situation whenever possible. Trials can be slow and expensive. I have found that at times, my clients' interests are often best served by negotiation and settlement. When a matter cannot be resolved through negotiation or settlement, I effectively represent my clients in the courtroom. In every situation, I work to limit the cost to my clients. I believe in providing efficient and effective legal representation.
