MADISON COUNTY TRIAL ATTORNEYS FOR CRIMINAL DEFENSE, DUI DEFENSE, AND TRAFFIC
VIOLATIONS

Our attorneys have experience in various areas of the law, but we provide strong
legal representation for each and every person who walks through our law firm's
door. If you choose to have Polinske & Associates represent you in the Illinois
courts, we will work wholeheartedly to protect your rights and interests. Our
firm's practice areas include:


CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Whether you're facing a misdemeanor or a felony charge, you are probably
confused and scared about your future: will you have to serve jail time? Is this
a permanent conviction? Will you be fired from your job?

The best thing you can do for yourself right now is hire a criminal defense
attorney who has tried and won cases like yours before. Polinske & Associates
has fought and won all types of criminal cases, including cannabis trafficking,
drug possession or manufacturing, assault, domestic battery, white collar crime,
disorderly conduct, and violent crimes.  As of this date of publishing Brian L.
Polinske has conducted over 134 jury trials throughout the Metro-East area in
both State and Federal Court.

We have also been providing legal defense for students of Southern Illinois
University at Edwardsville for over 32 years, working closely with parents,
students, and the SIUE police department. We know SIUE students are pursuing a
professional career and strive to keep their criminal history clean of any
conviction.


DUI DEFENSE

As one of the top DUI defense law firms in Madison County, our record of winning
DUI cases is nearly flawless. We aren't afraid of going to trial, of moving
quickly to secure the release of clients from custody, or of filing motions
where it's practicable. We know that not all DUIs are created equal in Illinois,
and individual circumstances will determine the seriousness of a case and the
range of punishments that may be handed down.  Brian L. Polinske has not lost a
DUI trial in his career. 


CANNABIS TRAFFICKING

            Geographically Madison County is situated where both I-55 and I-70
lie.  These are two main drug trafficking corridors.  Consequently law
enforcement targets out of state drivers with their interdiction teams.  The
teams are run by the DEA, Illinois State police, and other local enforcement
groups.  Over 85% of all their traffic stops are upon out of state drivers. 
Vehicles from the east and west coast, Colorado, and other states where cannabis
has been legalized are targeted heavily.  Mandatory prison time sentences are
mandatory for those convicted of trafficking.  I specialize in this field and am
proud to say that I have never had a client do any prison time for cannabis
trafficking.  I handle most of those clients charged in Madison County with
trafficking.  Pretrial detention law has changed on 9/18/2023.  Most persons
charged wtih trafficking are released pending resolution without having to post
cash bond.  


FAMILY LAW

It is always sad when a marriage comes to an end, but Polinske & Associates
takes great care in representing our family law clients to ensure they're able
to reach an agreement they can live with. We have over 65 years of combined
experience representing all types of family clients, including those who need
assistance with: divorce, child support, child custody, property division,
spousal maintenance, modification, enforcement, mediation, guardianship,
paternity, appeals, and even finalizing adoptions.  Donna Polinske is the
attorney who handles these cases. 


TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS

Police in our area do not tolerate traffic violations of any kind, and if you
are caught, you may have to deal with a wide range of penalties. Whether you
were driving with a suspended license, no car insurance, were charged with a
DUI, or received a ticket for speeding or reckless driving, we will aggressively
challenge the ticket to help you keep your license, avoid jail time, and a
possible increase in your insurance.  We can attend court in lieu of our clients
in most counties.

CANNABIS DELIVERY DEFENSE

If you are charged with the felony offense of Cannabis Delivery in Madison
County Illinois you should seek competent counsel.  Oftentimes these charges can
be dismissed or reduced to a less serious offense.  Reduction of bond is your
first step.  When your release is secured you focus next on the preliminary
hearing and arraignment.  Then on the discovery and motion practice.  I can
typically spot whether there are good grounds to win a Motion to Suppress
Evidence against the State.  In a surprisingly high amount of cases the initial
stop and subsequent search are fraught with constitutional issues.  Identifying
them, filing the appropriate motions and effectively presenting them to the
judge are all equally important.  Choose competent and experienced counsel to
defend you in this situation.

CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE

Forfeitures of property are becoming more and more common.  When arrested for a
felony any property that can be connected to the crime's commission may be
forfeited by the State.  The State's Attorney's Office has prosecutors dedicated
solely to this type of action.  Don't delay, take immediate action to contest
this process.  It is an uphill battle, but you can oftentimes prevail.

SAFE-T ACT AS IT PERTAINS TO PRETRIAL DETENTION.

The SAFE-T act was implemented in September, 2023.  Essentially it eliminated
cash bail for persons facing criminal charges.  It applies to all charges
regardless if they are misdemeanors or felonies.  The law requires release for a
wide variety of offenses, usually misdemeanors and low level felony charges
without violence.  Its implementation has caused some level of confusion amongst
the defense bar.
