Let me just start with saying that Camille is a very professional attorney but lax the aggressiveness of some of the previous public defenders that I've had in the past. Usually 9 times out of 10, I always have my own attorney, but since my attorney was out of the country, she represented me in bond court and this is where lies my review that is going to be reflected. I was charged with a class 3 felony theft of which is all circumstantial, and since I've been in business for 17 years and have taken ALL forms of payments, I have never had a criminal background what's so ever. I was appalled and in utter shock at the way she represented me in bond court!!! She just stood there and let the prosecutor browbeat me into letting the judge set my bond so HIGH, that my parents, my relatives, even my attorney, and ALL of the inmates that were awaiting Bond court, could not believe how high the bond was set for, for a person with a first-time offense and no criminal background!!! It broke me financially because I'm on Social Security Disability and possibly facing cancer and when I appeared in court recently in front of the judge again, she did nothing, absolutely nothing!!!!! I wouldn't recommend her to represent me for theft of a lollipop!! Even the people listening in the courtroom when it was my turn to go before the judge heard how much the bond was the gasped in shock and even the judge said that this was a very high bond under the circumstances and again she just stood there and said nothing what the prosecutor did all the talking again and said that I'm going to be indicted for what? ........2 checks that totalled $300 dollars!!!! Unbelievable and I can tell you right now this is going to cost me thousands all for a misunderstanding, because why would I sabotage a business that I built from the ground up and invested $10,000 of my own money before I got sick to ruin it over $300 amount it is absolutely ridiculous says my attorney!!!! When I said that I only had one other public defender, he got me a Bond that was only $500, this bond was set at $3000!!!! And I'll say it again the judge couldn't believe it and for a judge to say that you know it's high!! One last thing, while I was awaiting my turn to go before the judge, there were two inmates that couldn't post bond who had much wose offences, and were set free with probation. The judge actually was amused by the one inmate by what he did which I can't get into. The other inmate punched a police officer when he tried to steal something from an electronics store with two other assailants and he was set free with probation. Now you mean to tell me punching a cop is not as bad as what I did with no priors like these men have? where's the justice?!!! I just want everyone to know that of course, I'm innocent of all charges because I was coerced and intimidated by the detectives and whatever they found in the report I didn't see, and told my parents that I confessed.....which I didn't!!! But regardless, I just feel that Camille should have spoken up more in my defense then to just stand there and tell the bond judge where I went to high school and how much College I've had and the degrees I've earned and the strong ties to the community I have and the time I've been in business as an upstanding citizen. Then I'll finish with this I don't like talking bad about anyone I really don't because I give everyone the benefit of the doubt but since I wasn't this is why I'm writing the review, so be careful of THIS public defender. Thank you

I hired Ann the day after I found out we needed urgent legal assistance for a emergency order of protection and divorce. I had already spoken with 2 other lawyers that could not help me for weeks. We were in court effectively protecting my family the next morning. Divorce complete in a few weeks. She is brilliant, efficient and also caring. She effectively got us through a horrible process and horrible time. I will keep using her for all the legal needs she can help me with.

Attorneys are notorious for taking advantage of desperate people. Ann is not one of them. She cares more about the client than billing them for every email or phone call. She is a calm presence in the middle of a storm. She works diligently and protects you from future issues as well as current. Highly recommended and will refer to everyone I know.

I couldn't have found a more honest and competent attorney than Atty Brian! I asked him for assistance to review a lease agreement and he did so thoroughly; he also answered all of the questions that I had for him. I will definitely be using his services again in the near future! I highly recommend him for any real estate and contract lawyer!

Frank Vazquez is no doubt one of the best lawyers I've had. He helped my father with his court case which was very challenging, but thanks to his knowledge and experience he was able to achieve great results, results i doubt we would've been able to achieve without his help. I will highly recommend.

Brian was amazing. I have bought and sold numerous properties in the Chicagoland area over the past 20 years and Brian was by far the best attorney I have ever used. I will always use him going forward and encourage you to do the same

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Rolling Meadows, Illinois?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
