Penalty:
Eavesdropping or wiretapping is a Class 4 felony carrying a of sentence of one to three years in prison (three to three years if it is an extended term). Thirty months of probation is possible instead of prison time, and there is a potential fine of up to $25,000.
Definition:
You have committed eavesdropping when you use any device or machine to hear or record in any way a private conversation between two or more people without the consent of all parties involved. This is also the case if you hire or direct someone to do it (even if employed by you for other means) or if you intentionally benefit from someone who does it. Even if you are a law enforcement officer, you have committed this offense where and when you were listening or recording unless you were authorized to do so on the specific occasion authorized.
Prosecutors do not like to waste taxpayer's money on expensive public trials; we can possibly wrap things up in pretrial phase or if not, start negotiating from there for lesser charges and sentences for you. This is where having an experienced attorney to represent you and negotiate and speak for you can save years of your life and tens of thousands of fines and/or foregone income. It is worth it, and you deserve a good defense,
Other lawyers so often talk of how they will “aggressively fight for you.” They are doing nothing more than basically quoting from the American Bar Association’s Rules of Professional Conduct about the principle of a “lawyer's obligation zealously to protect and pursue a client's legitimate interests, within the bounds of the law.” When you hire Phillip Haddad as your criminal defense attorney in Chicago or elsewhere in its suburban area, he will not only do his professional duty to zealously represent you but will get you the justice you deserve. His extensive experience in criminal defense will help you avoid conviction or else minimize the penalties. Call criminal defense attorney Phillip Haddad at
