Law Offices of Matt Fakhoury LLC Blog

The Chicago Criminal Defense Blog from the Law Offices of Matthew M. Fakhoury publishes weekly articles breaking down Illinois criminal law for people who suddenly find themselves facing charges. Posts cover Miranda rights, consent searches, phone and social media evidence, Ring doorbell footage, AI and deepfake video in court, the difference between felonies and misdemeanors, how long a case typically takes, and what shows up on background checks.

The blog also walks readers through arraignment, motions, trial, and sentencing. Written by a former Cook County prosecutor and his team, the archive spans DUI, drug charges, weapons offenses, domestic battery, retail theft, expungement, and juvenile cases, with a focus on Chicago, Skokie, and Rolling Meadows courts.
