People v. BC (Chicago, Illinois)
The Law Office of Purav Bhatt was retained to help a young person who was accused of unlawful use of a weapon (UUW). Getting the matter early, in August 2024, Purav Bhatt and Anthony Villalobos were able to work a negotiation with the prosecutors to get the case moved from a felony to a misdemeanor, showing that the client had a simple misunderstanding of the regulations, not a criminal intent to unlawfully carry a firearm and therefore a felony was too harsh for the factual background. That was obstacle one that The Law Office of Purav Bhatt cleared for the client. From there, the client was able to have the matter successfully dismissed because the now misdemeanor route opened routes that did not constitute conviction for a criminal record.
