With the declaration that parts of the previous aggravated unlawful use of a weapon law was unconstitutional and with the legislature reluctantly passing a concealed carry law, the gun laws in Illinois are in a constant state of flux. The Ivec Law Firm is your best defense against weapons charges. Former Will County State’s Attorney JohnPaul Ivec can defend you when you are accused of weapon-related offenses. Call the Ivec Law Firm if you are charged with any of the following weapon-related offenses:
A conviction for unauthorized use of a weapon can have serious repercussions throughout your life. Such a conviction could cost you your freedom and even your job, as your conviction will appear in background checks when you seek employment. The sentence for unauthorized use of a weapon can range from probation and short jail terms of less than one year to years of jail time for felony charges. The more serious offenses of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon, defacing a weapon, improperly modifying a weapon, and unauthorized use of a weapon by a convicted felon can involve even more severe sentences.

Our team of lawyers was able to settle a reasonable deal and her personal work record was amended by the employer...
The most recent case that we've worked at for this Internet giant's company has been about the mergers & acquisition. That department, managed by our senior lawyer and managing partner Gerald Harrison worked on this specific case for over a year. But eventually, the legal facts and arguments that they have successfully gathered have proven our client's claims.
The Glippery company has been one of our oldest customers, with our team of lawyers working with them since 1992. Most recently we've been representing their interests when solving one of the business disputes inside their company's management. Eventually, it never made it to court hearings, which was our client's desire.
This is an example of an unlawful job termination done by a big pharmaceutical company... Following a long process of investigation and facts assessments, it turned out to be a case of discrimination based on race or ethnicity. Our team of lawyers and paralegals worked day and night and eventually won the case.
