Criminal Defense

When Your Freedom Is on the Line, Experience Makes All the Difference

A criminal charge doesn’t just threaten your freedom—it threatens your future, your family, and everything you’ve worked to build. For over 20 years, Attorney Mitch Furman has stood between clients and life-altering consequences, transforming what feels like an impossible situation into a path forward.

From the moment of arrest through verdict, you need someone who knows every courtroom, every prosecutor, and every legal avenue available. Whether you’re facing felony charges, misdemeanors, drug offenses, or violent crime allegations, our defense strategies are built on intimate knowledge of Cook County’s legal system and an unwavering commitment to protecting your constitutional rights.

Your case deserves more than a generic defense. It deserves the aggressive advocacy that comes from representing thousands of clients and taking hundreds of cases to trial. When the stakes are this high, you need a Chicago criminal defense attorney who treats your case like it’s the only one that matters.

DUI Defense

One Mistake Shouldn’t Define Your Future

A DUI arrest can feel like your world is crashing down. Your license, your job, your reputation—all suddenly at risk. But this moment doesn’t have to define you. With the right defense strategy, many DUI cases result in reduced charges, dismissed cases, or alternative sentencing that protects your future.

Attorney Mitch Furman has built a reputation for challenging field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and unlawful traffic stops. We scrutinize every detail: Was the stop legal? Were the tests administered correctly? Was your blood drawn properly? These aren’t just technical questions—they’re the foundation of your defense.

Whether it’s your first DUI or you’re facing enhanced penalties for multiple offenses, we navigate the complex intersection of criminal court and administrative license hearings. From summary suspension hearings to ignition interlock device requirements, we guide you through every step with the goal of minimizing the impact on your daily life.

Don’t face this alone. A free consultation could be the difference between losing your license and keeping your life on track.

Divorce & Family Law

Protecting What Matters Most When Everything Is Changing

Divorce isn’t just about ending a marriage—it’s about protecting your children, your assets, and your future. Whether you’re facing a contested divorce, fighting for child custody, or navigating child support disputes, you need an attorney who understands that these cases are deeply personal, not just legal transactions.

At the Law Offices of Mitch Furman, we approach family law with both strategic precision and genuine compassion. We know that every custody decision, every asset division, every support arrangement will echo through your life for years to come. That’s why we fight not just for favorable outcomes, but for solutions that allow you to move forward with dignity.

From uncontested divorces that move efficiently to complex contested cases requiring aggressive advocacy, we tailor our approach to your unique situation. Post-decree modifications, contempt proceedings, protective orders—we handle the full spectrum of family law matters across Cook, DuPage, and Will Counties.

Your family’s future deserves more than a cookie-cutter approach. It deserves dedicated representation that sees you as a person, not a case number.

Personal Injury

When Life Changes in an Instant, We Fight for Your Recovery

Serious injuries don’t just heal with time—they require resources, compensation, and accountability. Whether you’ve suffered in a construction accident, medical malpractice incident, slip and fall, or wrongful death case, you deserve more than sympathy. You deserve justice and the financial recovery to rebuild your life.

Attorney Mitch Furman has spent over two decades holding negligent parties accountable. From insurance companies trying to minimize payouts to corporations hiding behind legal teams, we level the playing field. We investigate thoroughly, build compelling cases, and negotiate aggressively—because your recovery depends on it.

Premises liability, dog bites, workplace injuries, medical negligence—these cases are complex, but our approach is straightforward: establish liability, document damages, and fight for maximum compensation. We handle the legal battle so you can focus on healing.

You didn’t ask for this injury. But you can choose who fights for you. Make that choice count.

Vehicle Accidents

After the Collision, Your Next Move Matters

Car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian injuries—they happen in seconds, but change lives forever. Medical bills pile up, insurance companies start calling, and suddenly you’re navigating a complex legal and medical maze while trying to recover from injuries.

This is when experience matters most. Attorney Mitch Furman has represented countless accident victims across Chicago and surrounding suburbs, from simple rear-end collisions to catastrophic Uber/Lyft accidents and uninsured motorist claims. We understand Illinois traffic laws, insurance requirements, and most importantly, how to build a case that gets results.

Our approach is comprehensive: document the scene, secure medical evidence, identify all liable parties, and negotiate with insurance companies that are more interested in protecting their bottom line than protecting you. When negotiations fail, we’re prepared to take your case to trial.

Bus accidents, bicycle crashes, rideshare incidents—no matter how your accident occurred, you deserve representation that treats your recovery as seriously as you do. From property damage to permanent disability, we pursue full compensation for every loss.

Don’t let insurance adjusters minimize your claim. Let us fight for what you’re owed.

Civil Litigation

When Business Disputes and Legal Conflicts Demand Resolution

Not every legal battle is criminal. Some of the most consequential cases occur in civil court—breach of contract, business disputes, defamation, civil sexual abuse claims, and liquor law violations. These cases can impact your business, reputation, and financial stability just as profoundly as any criminal charge.

The Law Offices of Mitch Furman brings the same aggressive advocacy to civil litigation that we bring to the courtroom. Whether you’re defending against allegations or pursuing rightful compensation, we combine legal expertise with strategic thinking to achieve favorable outcomes.

Civil litigation isn’t about winning arguments—it’s about protecting interests. From business litigation requiring commercial law expertise to defamation cases demanding sensitive handling, we tailor our approach to the unique dynamics of each dispute.

With over 20 years of trial experience across Cook County courts and beyond, we understand how judges think, how opposing counsel operates, and how to position your case for success. Settlement negotiations or courtroom advocacy—we’re prepared for both.

Your business and reputation have taken years to build. Defend them with representation that understands what’s at stake.
