This man saved me, he did everything he said he would. I was facing serious accusations and Mr.Nathe was able to help get most of them dismissed completely and was amazing. Worth every penny and did an outstanding job!

Someone I know got pulled over and received a citation for driving uninsured and failing to obey a stop sign. In the state of Illinois the penalty for driving without insurance can result in having your license suspended and up to a $2,000 fine for time time offenders.
They ended up walking out of the court room with a small fine and keeping their drivers license. Philip's rates are very reasonable. When hiring a traffic attorney, you're decision should not strictly be focused on the cost of the attorney. You have to evaluate their rate based on the potential worst case scenario for your court case.
When evaluating an attorney based on the outcome, Phil is worthy every penny. If anyone I know told me that they have an upcoming a traffic case at the Wheaton Court house, I would highly recommend Philip Nathe.

I've used Philip Nathe over the years for different situations, and he always came through with flying colors. What else would you expect from a Western Illinois University Alumni.
Thanks Phil, you ROCK...

Mr. Nathe was retained to pursue an expungement of of a local LEO non-arrest incident report. While it took several months (I was apprised of such timeline upfront) to achieve the expungement, Mr Nathe successfully obtained an expungement order and subsequent compliance by both the local and state police departments. He provided periodic status letters and appropriate documentation as the process moved forward. I could not have been more satisfied with his services. In addition, this is the third time I have retained Phillip Nathe and each time have received the most professional, courteous service and successful outcome. I will engage Mr. Nathe again should the need arise and highly recommend his services.

Phil was with us all the way for 4years and was so kind and heartfelt in our time of need. He always see's the best in people. He is resourceful, knowledgeable, well liked in the Du page court systems and always had different ways to approach a situation. Seems to be on top of it all. Knows the system like the back of his hand. Even the courts seen to have a high regard of respect for Phil...I know we do. I wouldn't have anyone else ever handle our affairs but Phil Nathe.

Phil was extremely knowledgeable of the local traffic laws and how to navigate the legal process resulting in all of the charges being dropped for my recent accident. This resulted in no traffic or court fees and did not require me to go through the supervision process and kept the accident completely off my record. This is extremely important as I am a high school student which can have big implications if I were to have a second incident.

There was a period of time at the end of my high school years and my first year of college where I was charged with weed procession, underage alcohol and DUI. Mr. Nathe represented me in all charges. He was very understanding, supportive, and non-judgmental. Each time he explained options and helped me decide a course of action. His experience and knowledge of the court system and the tactics of the local police department were extremely valuable in minimizing the charges. Later he was very helpful in working with me to expunge or seal several records to avoid future impact.

I cannot say enough great things about Phil. Having dealt with other attorneys in the past, Phil was beyond patient, understanding, and knowledgable while working on my case. His years of experience working from various sides of the courthouse system provide exceptional insight and he is hugely respected within the county of DuPage by all parties.
Without Phil, my case would have been a complete disaster. I cannot thank him enough for his hard work and commitment to getting me above and beyond the results that I ever would have expected. Phil will help to prepare you for the worst, but he will get you the absolute best case scenario available to you based on your individual circumstances.
I am so grateful for his continued patience and dedication to my case. Highly recommended.

I am the parent of the 17 year old juvenile Phil Nathe represented. He did a great job handling our case from start to finish. He kept us well informed throughout the process. He negotiated the best possible outcome. His fees were very fair. I highly recommend his services.

I received a DUI a little while back over Memorial Day weekend in Naperville (Dupage County), which absolutely ruined my holiday weekend, as well as had the potential to ruin at least 6 months of my life with a loss of my license. I have never been arrested for anything before and was in absolute shock. As soon as my long day was over from dealing with my bond as well as getting my car out of the tow yard, my only focus was to start my search to find a lawyer. Knowing nothing of lawyers, I Google searched for experienced Naperville and Dupage County DUI lawyers. A few websites popped up, but most were very non-informative and amateur looking. When I came across Phil's website, I was thoroughly impressed. He has many years experience, specializes in DUI cases, and was a former prosecutor in the Dupage court system. I scheduled a free consultation right away. I went in with my Mom due to she had experience with lawyers in the past and would help me make a good decision. In the consultation, he was very personable, down to earth, and was very informative and knowledgeable about the DUI court process in regards to my case. After reviewing my case, he told me he would fight to get the DUI rescinded and at worst should have no problem getting me 1 year court supervision. Unlike other lawyers, he had a straight fee of $2500 which took any guesswork out of the cost and was a very fair price. Upon hiring Phil, he got to work right away on my case and kept me informed of steps I needed to do, as well as copied me on all letters to the city/prosecutor etc. All the weight and stress on my shoulders right after the DUI was lifted knowing that I had chose a great lawyer to fight for me in this situation. During court he was extremely professional and after meeting with the prosecution, told me that they had agreed to put me on 1 year court supervision which meant I don't loose my license!! I was so happy and so relieved. I walked up to the judge signed a few papers with Phil and was done. After walking out of court, he explained all the steps I needed to take after that and although court was done, he stated that just cause court is over does not mean that he his done being my lawyer. He said to contact him with any questions at any time and he would be there for me. Phil has the knowledge and professionalism that you expect when working with a lawyer, but he also had that caring and casual personality that made it feel like I was just talking with one of my friends.
If you are faced with a DUI in Dupage county, and it can happen to anyone, I highly recommend you meet with Phil Nathe right away. Here are the advantages in my opinion:
• Many years experience in the Dupage Court Systems
• Specializes in DUI
• Former prosecutor in the Dupage Court Systems
• Works in the Dupage Courts every day and he personally knows many people there, including judges, so they will give him more respect than some random out of town lawyer
You will not be disappointed! I have my license back because of Phil and he is not only my lawyer, he is now my friend! Thanks again for everything Phil!!

Mr. Nathe got my misdemeanor drug charge dismissed. Very responsive by phone and email and reasonably priced. I was made very aware of the best possible outcome for my case and recommend Mr. Nathe for anyone seeking an attorney in the greater Chicago area.

I was worried about my teenage son's DUI. Phil reassured me that we would get the best outcome that was possible. He knows the law and really helped us out in this difficult situation.
Very satisfied with the entire experience and I would highly recommend this Phil Nathe to anyone.
