Chicago Criminal Lawyer Blog
A sudden arrest. A routine stop that escalates. A heated moment between civilians and police. In Chicago, these situations happen every day—and sometimes they result in a charge that surprises people: obstruction of a peace officer. You might not have been violent. You may not have even touched the officer. But if they say you interfered in any way, you could be facing a criminal charge with serious consequences.
At The Law Offices of David L. Freidberg, we understand how confusing, frustrating, and unfair these cases can feel. We’ve helped clients throughout Cook County and the surrounding areas beat these charges or minimize the impact. If you or someone you care about is accused of obstructing a peace officer, you need to understand what Illinois law says and what your next steps should be.
