I recently was pulled over for driving on a revoked license & no seat belt in Lake County. While on probation. I was absolutely sick to my stomach & Affraid. I called a good friend of mine and explained what happened to me. He told me to call Paul. So i did. When Paul answered and spoke to me. I was instantly relieved. His demeanor proffesional manner & knowledge was like no other lawyer i have used before. We went to court on the first appearance. He showed how great he trully is. He got the seat belt ticket thrown out. He got my driving on revoked reduced down. Probation terminated and a meger fine with supervision. . I really thought i was going to jail. Witch was Scary & Financially devestating to my family. But thanks to some good advice from a friend and a true pro like Paul. Things worked out well. If i remember correctly during my first phone conversation with Paul he reassured me that it would. God Bless You Paul. Million Stars. Bryan Edmiston People please do your mental health a favor and pick up the phone and call this man. Paul will put you at ease.

YES!! you should hire Paul B. Wharton as your attorney… With cases ranging from Personal injury, Divorce and Criminal, I felt good it was a good fit. I was treated with the utmost respect, pure professionalism, prompt follow up, and a wealth of experience behind him… 33 years to be exact. Paul made a difficult and stressful time more manageable…a sigh of relief in knowing I was in good hands.

Mr. Wharton is a man I can’t thank enough! Today he made a miracle happen and I’m blessed to come across a lawyer who is as knowledgeable as he is. I contacted Mr. Wharton to represent me for multiple traffic violations including a speeding ticket for 120mph+. With a driving abstract like mine, I didn’t have much hope of the outcome, but Mr. Wharton managed to make magic happen! If there’s a will, there’s a way and Mr. Wharton does what it takes to get the job done! I will forever recommend Paul Wharton for what he has done for me.

I have known Paul for over 15 years! He is a bulldog in the courtroom and a friend outside. Where most lawyers fall short in the empathy department, Paul does not. He just doesn't take a case, he feels that case. In other words, Paul's relationship with his client's do not stop at the dotted line, it continues day or night. Ask my son who Paul represented mere days ago on a drop of a dime when I called him when my son was arrested. Paul was there in a heartbeat not only consoling me but worked his years of experience where my son came home and got the best deal ever that gave my son a second chance. When my son's hearing was over he talked to my son about his actions and long term consequences of them and at the end handed over his number to my son and said "if you need anything, anything...you call me" even when the case was over and Paul could have just left. Paul first represented me years ago and then my husband and now my son and believe you me I would not call anyone that only cared about the buck and entrust them not only with me but my whole family. We now joke how he became our family lawyer with all of our mishaps but you know what, life happens and if it's going to happen I best be sure I have a kick a** attorney on my/our side and that's exactly who you will get when you hire Paul Wharton. Bottom Line: When life happens, hire Paul Wharton!

We hired Paul on the recommendation of a friend for a time sensitive situation. I was truly amazed, not only did he do what he said he would do for us, but made us feel like he was family. So kind and compassionate. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paul. I would recommend Paul in a heart beat.

After hiring couple other attorneys and fighting a D.U.I case, driving with a suspended lisence with possession of cannavis and 2 other traffic tickets things were not going no where. At that time I thought my life was ruined for ever and would never succeed in life till I found Mr.Wharton. Went over his office with no hopes at all and after he reviewed my cases and had a word with him he did not promise me anything but what he did said to me was NOT TO WORRY THAT HE WOULD GET ME OUT OF THIS which made me feel a lot better because he sounded so sure about what he was saying and for the first time after two years I felt safe, I felt like I was in good hands and after our first court I started seeing changes and today I still cant believe my driver license is in my wallet like he told me.. My family is very happy and thankful for what this man has done. I would highly recomend him to my friends and you if your having issues like mine. HE GOT THE JOB DONE LIKE HE SAID.

I was pulled over and charged with a DUI in Winthrop Harbor and even though I had forgotten about an incident that happened 22 years ago he was able to work his magic and get it knocked down to a wreckless driving and got the order of suspension rescinded, so even when I was panicking he would just tell me to relax he's got this, he doesn't just treat you like a client he treats you like a friend and he doesn't say he can do anything that he can't get done, I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a decent and honest attorney, I appreciate everything that he did for me in my situation, when he says he's got your back is not just him saying something to shut you up he is really looking out for your best interest, I would recommend him to anyone that need a exceptional and decent attorney and friend because I'm glad he was on my side

About 6 months ago I received a DUI driving back from "the Tap room" in Chicago to Gurnee on I-94. I was going a 105mph in my BMW and got a ticket for that as well as the failed breath test. I blew a .096 at the station and they charged me with 3 misdemeanors related to it and the speeding. Needless to say, I thought my life was over and I was very stressed out! I picked Paul as my lawyer after reading a few different reviews on the web and I feel it was the best choice I could have possibly made! Paul was able to extend the case several times until the speeding ticket was dropped and a plea agreement was made. The prosecutor did not want to drop the high speed ticket and Paul jumped though hoops by extending the case over and over until he managed to persuade the prosecutor to drop the misdemeanor to a fine. In total, I ended up only getting supervision with classes and fines. With the completion of supervision there will be no conviction!! The fines were approximately $2900 payable over a year, which I'm happy to do instead of getting a conviction. The way a supervision works is as follows. If you get court supervision for a DUI charge, the conviction will not be entered immediately. Instead the court will “supervise” you for a period of time, typically one year, after which the charge will be dismissed without a conviction. As long as you successfully complete the supervision period, the charge is dismissed. I would like to say that Paul has great character! He is a very like-able person. I really believe Paul is doing his job as a DUI Lawyer to help people out. If you've gotten a DUI, keep your head up and go see Paul. He will assure you that everything will be ok. Your life is not over as I thought mine was!

Paul B. Wharton beat my D.U.I even when I thought I didn't have a chance. He was referred to me by my cousin which he also beat her D.U.I case. Reliable guy really easy to talk to and speaks Spanish. Thank you again Paul B. Wharton my record is clean again.

Recently, I needed legal help in a hurry. Paul was referred to me by another lawyer whose opinion I trusted. He helped me achieve the best possible outcome for a complicated, time sensitive situation. Paul did his homework and he always took the time to explain and advise. I would hire him again should the need ever arise.

Many times with attorneys they talk & speak another language that confuses you more! Paul is a down to earth professionals professional, he follows through, he communicates effectively, offers proper advice, and gets you answers you need as the client. I would highly recommend Paul Wharton to anyone in need of a professional who will work for you the client!

Mr. Paul Wharton handled my divorce and I must say that divorce is extremely difficult in it self without having the added stress of retaining a lawyer and a good lawyer at that. With Paul there wasn't any second guessing or doubting any suggestions or directions he took. I felt confident and at ease every step of the way. The process was swift and fair. Paul was compassionate, informative, thorough and personable. Life can be hard enough but even harder without the right attorney. Paul's years of experience really worked in my favor through my divorce and it can really work for you in your own legal issue. I highly suggest hiring Paul Wharton.
