Definitions and Penalties:

If you possess, sell, or set off fireworks without being an adult who is trained and licensed to do so you have committed this offense, whether it is consumer fireworks for individual use or for a public display. In Illinois you cannot sell fireworks to unlicensed individual consumers. Chicago even bans the use of sparklers. If you commit this Class A misdemeanor offense in Illinois and are caught and convicted, you face up to 364 days in jail. Probation may instead be imposed for a period of up to forty-eight months coupled with a possible $2500 fine.

How we can defend you against a fireworks charge:

  • If you are caught with fireworks, we may argue that you thought they were inoperable. 
  • We can dispute the facts and testimony of witnesses or officers for this charge by filing “motions to suppress” unreliable, improperly obtained, or other questionable evidence or testimony (especially if you were improperly questioned or were not made aware of your rights).
  • If the evidence or testimony is still admitted by the judge, we can argue at trial that the evidence or testimony is incorrect or fabricated against you and therefore should give the jurors a reasonable doubt. 


This is where having an experienced attorney to represent you and negotiate and speak for you can save years of your life and large fines and/or foregone income. You deserve the best possible 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 708-833-3505 as soon as possible if you are in legal trouble.
