Maureen reviewed the situation, asked what I was expecting (within reason) and was able to secure it for me. I didn't feel like I was being judged. She also helped with the expungement. Would definitely recommend her services.

I had my very first criminal court case in Marshall county. I was very scared nervous and anxious about the whole process. Mrs Williams fought hard to get the court case resolved quickly. After about 3 court dates she had my case resolved in our favor. I definitely will recommend Maureen Williams for anybody whose in need of a lawyer she definitely made the process easy and relieved all of my stress

Maureen is an amazing attorney who truly cares about her clients. She helped me with an expungement case and handled everything for me, only requiring me to sign some documents. Her staff is kind, easy to get ahold of and willing to answer any questions that come up along the way. I can’t recommend Maureen Williams enough!

I learned something very valuable When choosing an attorney, chose a winning TRIAL attorney like Maureen Williams Because the prosecutor knows she will take your case to trial I was innocent but Illinois is backwards state when it comes to DUI And had I not hired Maureen, I might very well be sitting with a DUI or reckless driving conviction right now Maureen is WORTH the investment and a PLEASURE to work with She made an extremely difficult situation in my life much more easy to get through

Maureen was exceptional! She helped me every step of the way and made me feel comfortable. Maureen always responded to all of my questions timely and made sure I understood everything. She is definitely the one you want to help you in your time of need.

Maureen has very straight forward and honest, before I agreed to hire her we did a phone consultation and she asked me as many questions as she could, and asked me to write down every single thing I could think to write about my case, and she said that "every detail matters," and that reflects her approach of "prepare, prepare, prepare." I paid a flat price up front with an agreement to pay more if my case went to trial (which it did not!), which I liked, and she and her team were always genuine, respectful, and easy to work with (she even gave me a custom payment plan to make it affordable). I had heard she was not cheap, but people weren't complaining about paying that premium, and I would add myself to that crowd of voices. She was smart, looked at all of the facts, and got me the best case scenario possible, and did not have to go to trial or anything extenuating. 10/10 would recommend, you are in good hands with Maureen Williams.

Maureen Williams was able to present my case to the prosecutor with such clarity that all the charges against me we all completely dropped and I still have a clean record. I'm 49 and this is my first ever experience with the law and any court case, especially any criminal court case and I was literally shaking in my shoes. Maureen William's professional attitude, demeanor and legal expertise put me completely at ease with her taking charge of my case. Thanks to her, this dark moment in my life has been washed clean. I will always hold Maureen Williams dear in my heart forever and I'll always speak of her highly and recommend her to every person I meet, even if they don't require her services.

Maureen and staff were polite, professional and thorough in understanding my concerns I was assisted to the fullest extent and will not hesitate to call again, should I require additional assistance.

I was caught Driving Under the Influence whilst abroad in Peoria. Despite being against the law and down right stupid, I found myself in this embarrassing predicament after deciding to take the risk. It would be an action that I would regret and still regret today. Due to my time in the USA being only a short visit, I found myself in a challenging situation where I had to find an attorney very quickly and one that I could trust to handle matters whilst I returned home (in another country). I discovered Maureen through an internet search where we met briefly the next day and she gave immediate advice and recommendations before my departure back home. These immediate recommendations and actions proved crucial in my case and saved me a lot of ongoing cost and time. Her knowledge in DUI cases is exceptional. Despite being arrested, Maureen challenged the case and evidence as best she could and reviewed every technicality in an effort to find a Not Guilty verdict. I read another review that quoted "An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove". You definitely want her in your corner. You are definitely Innocent until proven Guilty. However, the case and evidence was stacked against me. Our immediate focus then turned to, how do I attend court or hearings whilst living in another country without too much personal impact? Maureen's extensive research found a case that set a precedent to conduct official court matters remotely. This was the best possible outcome as it saved a significant amount of additional expenses and travel time. Although being found Guilty in the end, Maureen did the best she could and prevented any additional unnecessary expenses or travel. Maureen's communication was second to none despite us being over 12hrs apart in different time zone. Maureen is very professional but yet has a very compassionate side. I highly recommend Maureen should you find yourself in trouble. I can't thank Maureen and her office enough.

Ms. Williams was my rock through a difficult time and, even to this day, I feel like she truly cares and is there when you need her. You’re not just another client, you truly matter and it makes a difference. Thank you for everything, you are the best! CK

Maureen helped out immensely with my expungement hearing and was very receptive to me, even on short notice. She explained the entire process perfectly, was caring, worked quickly, and went above and beyond my expectations. I would recommend Maureen as a criminal defense attorney to anyone in the Peoria area.

This woman is an amazing lawyer. I had hired a previous one that did not do his job at all and was considered a high rated attorney only because of his father. Now MissMaureen not only won my appeal ,which is super rare,she also got my case dropped. She cares and I know most attorneys just want money and power. She isn't like this. Trust me I know...she will fight till the end for your rights. Thank you Maureen
