Villalobos & Associates delivers big-firm results with small-firm attention.
Our attorneys provide zealous legal representation from criminal charges to eviction and estate matters, standing by you through trial.
Villalobos & Associates has practiced law from our Pilsen office at 1620 W 18th St, Chicago, IL 60608 since 1996, though founding attorney Raul Villalobos has been trying cases in Chicago courtrooms for almost 50 years. We built this firm on a simple belief: everyone deserves access to a local attorney who will actually go to trial for them, not just settle for the easiest outcome.
That commitment still guides every case we take on today, from a first traffic ticket to a complex business dispute, civil litigation matter, or estate concern, and we stand beside every client from the first phone call through trial.
Our attorneys handle a wide range of legal matters throughout Cook, DuPage, Will, and Lake counties. Below are the five core areas where our experienced attorney team puts decades of courtroom knowledge to work for you.
Facing a felony, misdemeanor, or traffic citation demands a criminal defense lawyer who won't hesitate to take your case to trial. Our felony defense lawyer and misdemeanor defense lawyer team, along with our dedicated traffic ticket attorney services, protect your record and your driving privileges.
Landlords and tenants both need a landlord tenant attorney who understands Illinois eviction law inside and out. As a residential eviction attorney and commercial eviction attorney resource, we move eviction legal services forward quickly and correctly.
From breach of contract disputes to complex business disagreements, our civil litigation lawyer team brings decades of trial preparation to every case. As a business litigation lawyer and contract dispute attorney resource, we fight for outcomes, not delays.
Buying, selling, or disputing property requires a real estate attorney who catches problems before they become expensive ones. Our residential real estate attorney and commercial real estate attorney services cover transactions, closings, and property disputes throughout the Chicago area.
Planning for the future or settling a loved one's estate calls for an estate planning attorney who explains every step in plain language. Our will and trust attorney and estate administration lawyer services guide families through probate court with care.
Plenty of firms promise to fight for you. We back that promise with a track record built inside Chicago courtrooms, including some of the most closely watched trials in the city's recent history.
Our attorneys have tried hundreds of bench and jury trials, including as head felony prosecutor at 26th and California. That courtroom experience shapes how we prepare every case, from a traffic lawyer matter to a felony defense.
Raul Villalobos has practiced law in Chicago for almost 50 years, and our Pilsen roots run deep. We know the courts, the judges, and the neighborhoods we serve across Cook, DuPage, Will, and Lake counties.
In 2007, our team secured not-guilty verdicts for all defendants in the E2 tragedy case, one of the most significant criminal trials in Chicago history. That same trial-first approach carries into every case we accept today.
Legal matters are stressful, and you shouldn't handle them alone. We keep clients informed at every stage and offer Spanish speaking lawyer support so language is never a barrier to good representation.
Raul Villalobos began his career as a Cook County State's Attorney, trying cases from day one before becoming head felony prosecutor at 26th and California. Over four decades, he has represented thousands of clients as a criminal defense attorney, civil litigation attorney, and real estate lawyer, building Villalobos & Associates into a firm generations of Chicago families return to.
Mark Villalobos grew up around his father's cases, later clerking at the firm through law school before earning his degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law. Today, Mark works alongside his father as a trial lawyer handling criminal defense, civil litigation, and real estate transaction matters, carrying forward the same willingness to fight that built the firm's reputation.
Together, Raul and Mark bring a rare combination: the courtroom seasoning of a nearly 50-year legal career paired with the energy and technology-forward litigation skills of the next generation.
Villalobos & Associates represents clients throughout Cook, DuPage, Will, and Lake counties from our Pilsen office. Wherever your case is filed, our attorneys know the local courts and how to prepare for them.
