Can I ask an attorney from the States Attorneys office for advice?
Attorneys from the Champaign County States Attorneys office are responsible for prosecuting all traffic tickets issued within the county. Because these attorneys represent the People of the State of Illinois as a whole, they are legally prohibited, in most cases, from giving legal individual advice to people charged with crimes even those charged with minor traffic offenses. Furthermore, because attorneys working for the States Attorneys office are the ones assigned to prosecute your case, anything you would tell them could be used against you in court. If you have questions not covered in these pages, your best option is to consult your own attorney.
