Criminal Defense

Tamara Holder is a criminal defense attorney based in Chicago who has represented clients across the State of Illinois. (She frequents Cook, DuPage, Will, Kane and Lake County courthouses.)

From police questioning, to the arrest, then to court, the criminal process can be lengthy and intense, especially because your freedom is at risk.

Every person’s case is different — no two crimes ever have the same facts. You can be assured that Tamara will review your case in great detail, work with you to develop the best strategy, and will not lead you down a road of false hope.

Tamara has won preliminary hearings, motions to quash arrest and suppress evidence, and trials. She has also negotiated pleas for her clients who admit to their guilt.
