I very much recommend John's services, as I've never met such a kind & caring attorney, who never treats his clients like another number:
His services are quick, seamless, and on top of which he has also provided some added assurance in all aspects, "holding my hand" throughout the entire process. His negotiation skills are also top notch! I'm very impressed by his work & would most definitely have him be my defender again if I ever experience another unforeseen predicament.

We were just about to give up hope on getting my boyfriend's license reinstated in IL when I contacted John Callahan this all changed. He and his associates were very helpful and understanding of our situation. They walked us through every step of the way and made it a much easier process than we had experienced trying to do it on our own.
We highly recommend John Callahan and his associates. Thank you again for all your help!!

My husband got into a bit of a pickle and we randomly found Maureen on google searches. We had a consultation call with her and she was up front and honest about her ethics, her pricing and if she thought we had a good case or not. She listened to my husband and then she listened to me and what I had to say. It’s literally been like this the entire transaction between us! She’s compassionate, and caring and will give you options but wants to do what YOU want. She showed and up was a bulldog in court when we thought things were going to go south. She fought for justice and what was fair after waiting over six months for a simple video to be sent over, which still hasn’t been done! She brought to light my husband had to forfeit his right on a speedy trial for the lack of evidence that was produced. Needless to say, if we have ANY issues going forward, we’d hire Maureen over and over and over again. We will recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I wanted to make sure people got a honest review from Ms. Williams since we just resolved my issue. I won’t lie, it was a complicated matter and she was up for the challenge. She stood her ground and even when it seemed the odds were not in our favor and having the judge side with the prosecutor, she fought and wouldn’t let them intimidate her. This sweet and kind lady was a complete opposite the day we went to court and my God, her years of knowledge/experience came to show when she stood her ground and fought for my case. She was able to deliver and was worth having her fighting on our side. Thank you so much!!!!

I recently worked with the Marneris Law team to close my condo purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, I was admittedly quite nervous about how the negotiations would go, but Niko & Shayla were extraordinary to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail, swift responses, and friendly demeanor was all so appreciated & comforting during the entire process.
Lastly, I truly felt that Niko advocated for me with the seller's attorney during some last minute issues that popped up in the final walk-through, with a favorable outcome when all was said & done.
I'd recommend Marneris Law to absolutely everyone in their home purchase endeavors! Thank you again for everything, Niko & Shayla!

We recently worked with Marneris Law for our home purchase, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Despite facing some unexpected challenges, Shayla and the team provided exceptional support, guiding us through each step with clear communication and expertise. Their attention to detail and dedication resolving issues made what could have been a stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Marneris Law to anyone looking to buy a home—they truly made all the difference!

I highly recommend Attorney Longe to anyone in need of legal representation. They recently handled my DUI case and worked tirelessly to have the charges dismissed. From the start, Attorney Longe demonstrated exceptional professionalism, clear communication, and a deep understanding of the law.
They kept me informed every step of the way and explored every possible angle to build a strong defense. I truly appreciated their dedication, attention to detail, and determination to achieve the best outcome for my case.
Thanks to Attorney Longe, I can now move forward without the burden of this charge hanging over me. If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate attorney who delivers results, Attorney Longe is the one to trust

Words simply don’t do enough to express my genuine gratitude for Young and her Teams support in handling my husbands immigration case. We first connected with Young about a year ago to adjust my husband’s status as he overstayed his visa. I found Young through my legal insurance offered by my job with MetLife, Young acted quickly once we contacted her office and shared our love story and its legal challenges of immigration. Young became enthralled with our story and was confident that she could help us adjust my husband’s status, and assist with all applicable applications. Young is an expert Immigration Attorney! She is extremely efficient and knowledgeable, and helped us tremendously with all the immigration procedures. We had some interesting bumps along the way, not the fault of our wonderful attorney, but by USCIS itself. Young stood right beside us, literally and figuratively to ensure we understood all legal matters and future proceedings. It was an emotionally exhausting case since we had a surprising second interview, with too many complexities involved to understand, but Young and her team, along with their strategic thinking and bold advocacy helped us achieve a favorable outcome. In the height of political turmoil, this process was simply draining, and I mean real tears at times. Young instilled so much faith and reassurance in my husband and myself, we interviewed with confidence. Exceptional service and results is an understatement, I can go on and on, maybe even chapters! I’m beyond grateful, what a friend she has in me forever and beyond! Now we can travel, worry free and experience all the world has to offer together. Simply amazing, and highly recommend!

I am thrilled to share my experience with the law firm of Gal Pissetzky and his exceptional assistant, Jennifer. Over the past couple of years, they have provided me with invaluable support in navigating my legal matters, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, Gal and Jennifer demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise. They are remarkably punctual and responsible, always keeping me informed and updated at every step. Their deep knowledge of the law is evident, and they have a unique ability to break down complex legal concepts into easily understandable terms, which has been incredibly reassuring during challenging times.
What truly sets them apart is their commitment to their clients. They deliver on their promises and work tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcomes. Their excellent work ethic and communication skills made me feel supported and confident throughout the process.
If you are in need of powerful legal defense, I wholeheartedly recommend Gal Pissetzky and Jennifer without any reservations. They have been a tremendous help to me, and I am certain they will provide the same level of dedication and expertise to anyone who seeks their assistance.
Thank you, Gal and Jennifer, for everything you have done!

I was facing 10 years in federal prison. With all the evidence stacked against me and my former attorney suggesting that I take a plea…it was Gal who told me that the case could be beat and urged me to fight. Gal’s due diligence, preparation and knowledge of the law earned my trust. He did an excellent job in communicating the process which put me at ease. His skillful line of questioning caused the DEA agent to blatantly admit in open court that I was racially profiled. Because of this admission, the motion to suppress was granted and the case was dismissed. I am extremely grateful to Gal for his optimism and ability to deliver.

I hired Liam for a complicated case that another lawyer was selling me out on and made it worse over the time two counts of domestic battery. Liam knew I was not guilty listened to everything I said looked over my case he’s up to date with every law that changes.! Jerri the paralegal was the best also both of them are the dream team such a sweetheart women always gave me the best advice and what outcome to expect of everything. Always responsive never looked mad or bothered they are good at their job it’s their first home before their actual home that should tell you a lot. Liam got me a no guilty verdict in a bench trial he is so passionate at what he does you can tell he has all the judges and prosecutors respect! He is a LEGEND even the judge said I made the best decision hiring Liam! Thank you so much Liam and Jerri for always having me come in when I had questions and for being there when other lawyers turn the case down or wanted me to plea cause they had no time for my case. Liam is not afraid of trials he will fight for you if anyone wants to take your freedom he will go head to head against everyone who wants to hurt you! Happy holidays to you and Jerri and your family from me and my family. Dixon wins!!!! Don’t think twice hire him no regrets at all!

We hired Dominick to provide legal advice and support during my son's probation period. Dominick responded to calls and texts quickly with sound, rational advice. Having him on speed dial gave my family comfort. There is no substitute for having a good lawyer to contact when dealing with law enforcement; we plan on keeping Dominick in our contacts and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Dom and Pat came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. They are a team. Pat seems calm and unflappable and Dominick was the big personality guy. This approach worked for me. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. The support staff was friendly and professional. Everybody at the firm seemed to be working on my case and knew what was going on every time I had any questions. They made me feel like I was more than just a file and that they actually cared about me as a person. Great result, great guys. Thanks!

John Paul is great. He helped me with some driving related legal trouble that I had gotten myself into. He was able to work on my behalf to see me through to a satisfactory outcome. I ultimately had to pay a fine, but with John Paul's help, my penalty was on the minimum end of what it might otherwisehave been. I am very happy with the final outcome - John Paul had no control over the stupidity of my own actions that got me into trouble, but his services definitely helped mitigate the damage, and for that I am very thankful!

If you’re looking for an outstanding traffic lawyer, Eric Cobb is the one to call! From the moment I reached out to him, I was impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his clients. He took the time to understand my situation thoroughly, explained the legal process in simple terms, and provided a clear plan of action. His calm demeanor and confidence immediately put me at ease during what was a very stressful time.
Eric’s attention to detail and strategic approach were remarkable. He left no stone unturned, ensuring every aspect of my case was addressed. What stood out the most was his dedication—he was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. His ability to negotiate and navigate the legal system resulted in a highly favorable outcome that I didn’t think was possible.
Beyond his legal expertise, Eric is personable, approachable, and truly cares about achieving the best results for his clients. He made a difficult situation much more manageable, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Eric Cobb to anyone needing a knowledgeable and trustworthy traffic lawyer. He’s simply the best!

I never expected to need a criminal defense attorney, but when I did, a quick Google search lead me to David Freidberg. After a consultation I decided to hire him and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Throughout the two-year case, David was professional, easy to communicate with, reliable, and honest with expectations. I never had any problem getting in touch with him and he always seemed well prepared and organized. When I received a very favorable outcome (which had seemed like a long shot), I felt very validated having hired him. I would highly recommend.

After firing my first attorney who literally took my 10K retainer and advised me to "plead guilty, sell your house and move," boy am I glad I stumbled across Mr. Klein. I didn't know about AVVO at the time, but real client reviews are probably the best way to judge a potential attorney.
By the time I hired Mr. Klein on several convoluted and grossly exaggerated matters that had ballooned out of hand, which included OOP and VOOP, he was able to get the OOP vacated and VOOPs dismissed, which seemed initially like an impossible task, especially since the original attorney bungled the case so badly and several months had elapsed.
In the end, I received court supervision for one separate case, with all others dismissed.
About Mr. Klein's style: He's a great communicator. Available, responsive, patient, and explains things in detail (and many of the details can easily get confusing). Sometimes he gets gruff or short when he is in the middle of fighting hard for your case, so trust that he is placing his energy where it needs to go and will get back to you later to explain the finer details.
A word about pricing: A friend advised me, be wary of attorneys who charge you by the hour, because you can't really know how much time they have actually spent on the case. I found this out the hard way, when my original attorney kept over 3K of my original retainer, after doing pretty much nothing on my cases. Mr. Klein in contrast offered transparent pricing, telling me exactly what his cost was for each matter in full, and additional fees if the case went to bench trial vs. jury trial (it didn't.)
If you have any pending criminal matter and need a great attorney, I unequivocally recommend Steve Klein!

After doing searches online, I am beyond grateful we called and Joe Messineo was on the other end. Joe told my daughter what she need to do immediately in terms of seeking treatment, documenting her efforts. With her efforts and Joe's ability to navigate the legal system, charges were reduced to one misdemeanor with the ability to be expunged. Thank you is not enough.

I hired Hanna And Rudd in March,2016.That being said,I received the Email on the seal,yesterday.As for my License, I have been driving with a License, Cleared from Illinois since Nov.2017. Yes,it did take longer than I would have liked it to,I had to take into consideration all of the people they as a Law firm had to talk to, to try to figure out how to do this right,since I live out of State.Such as Evaluations and A Out Of State Packet.Got A Evaluation in my State and it was not cheep,and sent it in and Hanna,since that was what they told me to do.Hanna told me it wasnt good enough,The state would deny me and found a awesome guy to do this for me in Illinois.He Knew the Laws,is great at what he does and was a pleasure to meet.Hannah and Rudd did for me what they said they would do and what I have hired other Lawyers, who only took some of my money,and did nothing for me since 1991.This has been a long road for me, and I am so glad that that road is at a new beginning.Chris is awesome,was always there to answer my questions,and call me back,or email me with a answer.Thank You So Much,Hanna&Chris.

My elderly father was beside himself related to difficulties around an accident in which he was involved. Steve Hanna was recommended to represent my father. His fee was VERY fair, the results were exactly what we had hoped. Everything was handled very efficiently and with kindness. And we are very grateful.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
- You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
- Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
- You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.
What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?
A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:

- Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
- Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
- Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.

- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
- Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.
