 Gregory Reeder900 E. Roosevelt Road For 10 years, Gregory Reeder has been a vigorous advocate for his clients and public servant throughout the State of Illinois. Greg has successfully defended clients at all stages of litigation in both criminal and civil courts with a specialty in criminal defense, civil litigation divorce and juvenile law. Greg served five years as an Assistant Public Defender in Will County at the felony, misdemeanor, and juvenile divisions. While with the public defender’s office, Gregory tried several jury trials including cases ranging from Driving Under the Influence to Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault. After leaving the Public Defender’s Office, Greg continued to serve the public at the Law Office of Gregory M. Reeder, P.C. providing his litigation experience and advocacy to cases in Will, Grundy, Cook, Du Page, Kane, Kendall, DeKalb and McLean counties. Greg believes that its easier to feel comfortable when seeking representation if the lawyer and firm is knowledgeable but understanding enough to take the time to impart that knowledge to their clients. For Greg, each client is a person who cares enough to place their trust in his hands to be honest, diligent, and aggressive enough to handle their case. It’s a task that Greg takes great pride and joy in meeting each and every day. Greg successfully represented a client charged with driving a vehicle with a revoked license who had had his vehicle seized by the State of Illinois. Prior to Greg entering his appearance, the client had given away his rights and pled guilty to the charge. After speaking with the client, Greg petitioned the court to have the client’s plea vacated and have the charges dismissed. At both hearings, Greg was able to convince the judge that the client’s plea could not have been voluntary and that the Officer’s arrest of the client was without probable cause. The client, who had been anticipating a sentence of jail, was surprised that all charges had been dropped and the State was obligated to return the client his vehicle. Greg successfully defended a client accused of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, who simply stated “I am innocent”. Through extensive preparation of his witnesses and aggressive advocacy for his client, Greg was able to obtain the video tape that he had been told did not exist, that led to the exoneration of his client. His work led to a civil lawsuit against the Police Department and a monetary settlement for his truly innocent client. News & Articles
