Criminal Defense Matters

A charge is not a conviction, and how the first days are handled often shapes everything that follows. Rourke Law Office provides legal representation and counsel to individuals facing DUI and related traffic offenses. We also handle misdemeanors, traffic tickets, and drug possession charges. Additional services include defense against retail theft, domestic battery, and orders of protection. The firm also defends people facing expungement and record-sealing for those moving past an old case.

Personal Injury Attorney

The firm represents people hurt by someone else’s carelessness and works to recover compensation for their medical bills, lost income, and the toll an injury takes on daily life. Common matters include car and motor vehicle accidents, the firm’s primary injury focus across Lake County. We also handle premises liability, including slip-and-fall and other unsafe-property injuries. Rourke Law Office also concentrates on medical malpractice and other serious injury claims are handled with co-counsel, where a case calls for added resources.
