Heart of Illinois Criminal Defense operates from 416 Main Street, Suite #829, Peoria, Illinois 61602, and can be reached at (309) 999-1177. Attorney Maureen Williams built the firm around a single focus: criminal defense, with no personal injury or family law work to divide her attention. With more than 33 years of experience, she represents clients across 14 Central Illinois counties, including Peoria, McLean, Tazewell, LaSalle, and Macon.
Williams handles DUI and DWI defense, drug crimes, assault, theft, domestic violence, and weapons offenses, and her practice extends into post-conviction work, including appeals and sentence review motions. She describes her approach to client communication directly: “You will not fall through the cracks here. I return every call,” and the firm highlights its accessibility outside standard business hours as part of that commitment to thorough case preparation and aggressive courtroom advocacy.
Williams is a member of the National College for DUI Defense and belongs to both the Illinois State Bar Association and the American Association for Justice. Her decades-long, single-focus practice and continued pursuit of advanced legal training have made her a fixture of Central Illinois’s criminal defense community.
