Defending Your Rights, Protecting Your Future

Protect Your Freedom With An Award-Winning Felony Defense Attorney

If you have been charged with a felony, your rights and freedom are at stake. When facing the most severe penalties, you need the strongest criminal defense possible.

You can count on me, felony defense attorney John Kopp. As a former prosecutor, I know how to mount a strong defense against felony charges. I have received many awards for my outstanding work on behalf of people in Geneva, Kane County and the Chicago area facing serious charges. I won’t hesitate to fight for you, whether in strategic plea negotiations or at trial.

Breaking Down Felony Classes In Illinois

Many types of crimes can be classified as felonies, from drug crimes to aggravated DUI to felony retail theft. In Illinois, felonies are designated by class, which determines the maximum jail time you can receive:

  • Class X felonies are the most severe, carrying a prison sentence of six to 30 years, with some Class X felonies leading to prison sentences of 30 to 60 years.
  • Class I felonies typically carry a punishment of four to 15 years, with certain Class I felonies punishable by 15-30 years in jail. (For example, second-degree murder is punishable by up to 20 years in jail.)
  • Class II felonies carry a punishment of three to seven years in jail.
  • Class III felonies carry a punishment of two to five years in jail.
  • Class IV felonies carry a punishment of one to three years in jail.

Felony convictions can also lead to fines of up to $25,000 or more, depending on your case.

Finding The Strongest Angles To Protect You

I will make all legal challenges to your charges that I can to keep you out of jail. I will advocate for you in every way possible, from filing motions to exploring the possibility of deferred prosecution or participating in a drug court program.

As a former prosecutor for the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, I understand how the prosecution prepares a case. I use this knowledge to prepare a strong defense. My priority is protecting your rights and your freedoms.
