Leving Legal Team Protected Falsely Accused Dad: No Jail Time

By Laura Reichel

A terrified Chicago father found himself facing one of his biggest nightmares – the loss of his freedom and jail time.

Desperate, he called attorney Jeffery Leving to safeguard his liberty and protect his future. The Leving legal team fought for him and won.

Chicago based matrimonial attorney Jeffery Leving, President of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd., will talk about this important court victory on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9-10 a.m. CST Saturday, February 21^st on Power 92.3 FM.

Dad and his ex were never married but have a ten-year-old son together. However, when his ex filed for and was granted an Emergency Order of Protection against dad, he was devastated. In an instant, he was barred from seeing or even contacting his only child. Then, the situation became even more frightening: the mother alleged that dad had violated the Emergency Order of Protection. This was a serious matter as violating an Order of Protection is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail in Illinois.

Terrified, dad immediately called attorney Leving for an emergency consultation. Leving assured dad that the Leving legal team were experienced in this type of situation and that they would fight for him.

Knowing every moment counted, the Leving legal team swiftly initiated discovery and built a strong defense. They argued before the judge that the entire case depended only on the sole testimony from a third party who was not even interested in testifying against dad. They won. The judge ruled in dad’s favor, preserving this father’s freedom and restoring his hope for a bright future.

This court victory modified for publication not only protected this father’s liberty but also served as a reminder that justice can prevail even in the most difficult moments when fathers fear losing everything. Every victory like this strengthens the Leving team’s mission to defend fathers, protect families, and restore hope for all those who come to them for help.

As Black History Month continues, Attorney Jeffery M. Leving will honor his old friend and client, the late Hall of Famer Ernie Banks who played for the Chicago Cubs. Attorney Leving will also honor the memory of his good friend the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, who passed this week.
