Belleville Criminal Law Attorney
If you have been charged with any type of criminal offense or you believe that you are being investigated for one, having the right legal representation behind you is absolutely essential. Your very future is at stake in these cases, and the quality of your attorney can be the difference between going free and going to jail.
At the Law Office of Van-Lear P. Eckert, PC, we provide aggressive, results-oriented representation to clients throughout southern Illinois and eastern Missouri. As a former assistant St. Clair County state’s attorney, attorney Eckert knows how prosecutors prepare their cases and how to build a defense designed to defeat them.
