Protecting Your Freedom, Your Future, and Your Reputation

Whether you’re facing a DUI, drug charges, weapons offenses, domestic violence, or any felony or misdemeanor, the attorney you choose matters. At the Law Offices of Jack L. Zaremba, P.C., you get a defense attorney who spent years on the other side of the courtroom as both a Will County prosecutor and an Illinois Assistant Attorney General. That experience means Jack knows how cases are built, how evidence is evaluated, and where the prosecution’s arguments are weakest.
From our office in Joliet, we defend clients throughout Will County and Grundy County. Every case gets Jack’s personal attention — not a paralegal, not a junior associate.
