It never hurts to run the situation by a lawyer - they "might" be able to get you a better outcome. You might even be able to get an initial consultation for free.

You might want to read the information on this legal blog run by a couple IL lawyers residing in DuPage County:

You could be facing a felony charge if the amount(s) exceeded $150, or because you issued checks on a closed account several in a 90 day period.
If you're smart, plead not guilty, hire a lawyer; (if unable to do so financially, request a public defender).
Then stand on your right to remain silent.
Whatever you do, don't admit to anything or confess to anything. Don't try to pay a fine, because this could end up in prison or jail time!!!!
