Chicago Defense Lawyer

Eugene Steingold

​

I am a solo practitioner concentrating in litigation, both civil and criminal. I have successfully tried a number of jury trials in state and federal courts, including criminal “mega trials” of several months in duration. My emphasis in criminal litigation is on white-collar defense. I have handled a number of high-profile criminal cases involving a wide-range of issues. Over the past thirty plus years, my civil practice has covered a broad range, in such areas as commercial contract, legal fees disputes; real estate construction disputes, mechanics liens, eminent domain and condemnation, corporate and partnership issues, securities fraud, civil RICO, asset forfeiture, etc. I have also litigated and argued appeals before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and the Illinois Appellate Court.
