After hearing about Mr. Schmiege’s work from a friend of mine I decided to hire him to defend me on a fraud charge. Mr. Schmiege was definitely the best choice. I didn’t expect such a reliable service but that’s exactly what I got, so anyone who needs defense services in Chicago should definitely get in touch with him. Thanks again Michael you did an amazing job!

I was arrested for possession of cannabis which I had nothing to do with and Michael Schmiege did everything to make sure I wasn't wrongfully convicted. Thank you sir - you did amazing work and I will definitely recommend your services.

I was accused of an assault by an ex-girlfirend with an ax to grind. False charges that could have ruined my career as an investment banker. I called Michael Schmiege as I’d heard that his legal representation was among the best in the state, and I soon found that to be exactly the case. Mr. Schmiege was easy to get in touch with – whether by phone, email or text – and his staff at his offices were extremely professional at all time. Mr. Schmiege was able to deliver the evidence required to prove my innocence, and I am now acquitted of the false charges thanks to his efforts. Mr. Schmiege will be just as effective for any other defendant I’m sure, and I urge you to contact him if you experience any similar problems.

Michael Schmiege is one of the best criminal defense attorneys I’ve ever met. The work he did on my gun case was amazing – he took the time to understand every inch of my case and was great in court. Mr. Schmiege is an expert in search and seizure and got my case thrown out. I’d definitely recommend his services. Mr. Schmiege’s team was fantastic too – they always kept me in the loop and knew exactly what they needed to do to keep my case moving along. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

I hired Michael Schmiege as my criminal defense lawyer after being ripped off by Chicago’s most “prominent” criminal defense lawyer. My previously lawyer just wanted me to plea guilty – which would have meant a prison sentence. Mr. Schmiege fought for me and I decided to take the case to trial and I was found not guilty. I won the case beating 8 felony charges. Had I listened to the other famous lawyer I had hired I would be in prison right now. Thank you Mr. Schmiege for fighting for me.

My son was charged with several counts of sexual assault, kidnapping, sex trafficking and assault; all against a minor and was facing the rest of his life in prison. The case was overcharged. Mr. Schmiege fought vigorously for my son and was able to get him released on bond while fighting his case. Mr. Schmiege was able to get all of the charges dropped and plea-bargained down to one charge. Instead of prison time, my son received probation and does not have any sexual charges on his record (which would have meant that he would have to register as a sex offender for the remainder of his life). One of the things that I love about Mr. Schmiege is that he always kept it 100% real – no BS. He was always honest and straightforward. He is an amazing attorney who will fight for you. I highly recommend Mr. Schmiege for any case.

Met with a lot of lawyers. They all told me they could get me a plea bargain. A lot of them said they were former prosecutors and they had better insight into the system – that was BS. Hired Mr. Schmiege who took my case to trial and I was found NOT GUILTY.

As a first time offender, I felt that my life and career were over. I am a licensed financial advisor and a conviction for the offense I was charged with would have resulted in me losing my license and job. I could not sleep at night just thinking about the outcome of my situation. I met with numerous attorneys in Chicago and the suburbs and when I finally met with Mr. Schmiege about my offense, I felt at peace... Mr. Schmiege is a hard working attorney that will do whatever it takes to get the best outcome possible!!! I HIGHLY recommend them!!! He will fight for you and help you move forward from any mistakes you make.

Michael Schmiege handled my case promptly and professionally, and he was always accessible when I needed to speak to him. He gave me his cell phone number and always responded to my calls and texts. They charged a flat rate that was very reasonable. His track record is excellent, and he obtained a fantastic disposition on my case. I hope I never need Mr. Schmiege again, but if I do, he will be the person I call.

Throughout all of my experiences with Criminal offices, this office has by far been the best. The staff here truly cares about their clients and they pay attention to every detail. My case was handled well by Mr. Schmiege and ended up being dismissed. I was provided excellent service from everyone in his office. I would rate them 5 out of 5.

I owe a big thank you to criminal defense attorney . I was accused of domestic violence, which is completely crazy because I am the victim. The truth is it really wasn't much of fight and I really didn't think it would be considered to be domestic violence when I called the police. I thought that I could just explain my situation to the judge, but was told to come back with a criminal attorney. I found them who calmed me down and explained what to do when I was freakin out. In the end they got the DA to drop the charges which is GREAT NEWS because now I don't have to worry about a criminal record. If you are unlucky enough to need a criminal defense attorney, you should ask for them.
