People v. CC (Chicago, IL)
The Law Office of Purav Bhatt was retained to help someone who was being prosecuted for unlawful use of a weapon (UUW). Knowing the intricacies of not only the law, but the policy behind the law and its enforcement is crucial. Thankfully, Purav Bhatt and Anthony Villalobos were retained early in this matter, so in August 2024 they were able to work with the prosecutors from the start and get the matter moved from a felony to a misdemeanor. Those changes in charges not only impact what someone faces for an allegation. They also pay off down the line. Because Purav Bhatt and Anthony Villalobos were able to move this from a felony to a misdemeanor and ultimately no conviction, the ability to expunge this matter was also positively impacted.
