This goes back to 2003. Mr. Minkus got my Driver's License back for me after it was revoked. Very quickly, too, considering the trouble I got myself into & the circumstances. Advised me every step of the way. Followed his advice to the *T* and all went well.

Jonathan minkus is a no nonsense and strait forward lawyer. He lets you know the possibilities of your case. He is highly recommended by me.

My wife and I have tried 3 times for her green card and was rejected three times because of some trouble she was accused of before she spoke English. I asked another Lawyer is there anything we can do and she referred us to Jonathan Minkus. We meet with Jonathan and said he might be able to help us but it would be difficult. Jonathan sure did what he said he could do. He had to fly to another state and negotiate our post conviction with prosecutors and judges he never meet before and 10 years after the false conviction that she was charged with. He worked a COMPLETE MIRICAL for my wife. With the change in Judgement that other Lawyers we hired over the years, who were never able to do anything but charge us money and she is now eligible for her Green Card. Thanks to Jonathon we can have a normal life without fears of deportation.

Jonathan helped me to vacate two of charges against me, and both of them are successfully vacated. I had a very good experience working with Jonathan and he is a very kind person and very considerate. I would like to highly recommend someone that has same situation as me to go get help form Jonathan.

I was referred to attorney Jonathan Minkus by my immigration attorney for a very old conviction from 2003. Mr. Minkus was able to get my conviction vacated very quickly. Mr. Minkus was very upfront with the process as well as with any of the fees associated. He is very well connected, and I highly recommended his services. Thanks again Mr. Minkus.

I was referred to Attorney Jonathan Minkus by my immigration attorney for my very difficult case. He was able to obtain a Pardon from Governor Quinn and subsequent my Judgment vacated. I highly recommend him. He returned my calls promptly, very friendly and compassionate. Thank you Mr. Minkus!

Dear Mr Minkus, "Once again thank you for all your help. You gave me hope and confidence throughout my ordeal. You are certainly an artist at your profession.You are an island of humanity and kindness in a sea of sharks. It is safe to say that without your service and support, I would have been in a much worse position and greatly appreciate that. Thanks once again very, very much." JA

My experience with mr. Minkus was outstanding. Mr.Minkus really help me with difficult criminal case for Resisting Arrest and extremely bad traffic ticket for agrivated speeding . I would recommend this lawyer to anyone who are in deep trouble. I would love to say again THANK YOU mr Minkus for Excellent work on my case.

I had a conviction in my record that affect my ability to get my citizenship. Mr Johnatan came highly recommend from my immigration attorney and he was right. Mr Minkus went out of his way to get my conviction changed to the level that won't affect me anymore. I highly recommend his services.

I was wrongfully advised by an immigration lawyer to expunge my criminal record that consisted of a drug related charge in order to apply for residency. My wife and I quickly found out this was not true and were referred by two different lawyers (who did not know one another) to contact Mr. Minkus. We were without hope and filled with stress. After meeting with Mr. Minkus we retained his services immediately. We had an idea about how much his services would cost (and although it took about a year to be able to) we came prepared. It was worth it. He informed us how much more difficult our case is because we expunged the records. He was honest right from the beginning and actually cared. He didn't disregard our stress and anxieties like most lawyers we met with. Throughout the whole process we never had any difficulty getting in touch with him and he updated me every step of the way. Although our chances were slim to none in getting a favorable outcome- he did it. Thanks to him and his hard work we now have hope that I can become a resident of this country and can take the next steps to do so. As the decision was finalized the judge made sure I knew... "You have yourself a good lawyer here." I will recommend, and do recommend, everyone who needs hope to Mr. Minkus.

I was sent to Mr. Minkus by my immigration lawyer because i had a DUI on my record. Because of this DUI Icould not try and become a citizen. He explained to me what he would try and do and eventually he was able to change my DUI to a different charge and my immigration lawyer now told me that nothing now prevents me from being citizen. He charges a lot of money but he did a great job.

recently hired attorney Jonathan Minkus for representation on a pending case in Lake County. Prior to calling Jonathan in my distress, I had called a few different lawyers and to be perfectly honest... the majority of them gave me little to no hope. Several informed me that frankly due to the severity of my charges they were doubtful that they could do much to help me in this case. My case was in fact pretty severe as I had been driving on a revoked license for prior DUI offenses. That revocation happened more than a decade ago. Since that time a lot had changed including my current sobriety. However, the law is the law and I had been caught without a valid Driver’s License. I called Jonathan in desperation, a friend had recommended him. My wife Joanna and I called on a Saturday and he was out golfing as I remember, but answered the phone. I remember he told me that he could meet me the following day. “It’s Sunday?” I said, he simply said “I know you’ve got a pretty severe case here, I like the sound of your voice and I would like to meet and talk with you.” We meet Jonathan that next Sunday at his office in Skokie. What struck me about Jonathan was his direct approach and the sense of urgency in which he started to make things happen. He told me that he couldn’t promise anything and that the charges were in fact extremely severe and that he had been around for a long time (30yrs.) “All we can do is go for it and hope for the best”.He then stated that he would be honored to take my case if I decided to chose him to represent me. Honored to take my case? I thought. I hired him and at some point shortly after our first court date together my anxiety started to come down. Jonathan made us feel at ease. A few things about Jonathan that I learned a along the way. He values his client, he values his time and he tells you only exactly what you need to know, when it is pertinent to your case. I learned a lot about patience and my wife and I put our faith in him because we knew he was going to do what he could to represent me. The outcome was incredibly favorable and I will always be grateful of the service Jonathan provided. Jonathan Minkus is exceptional. With poise and confidence he manages to make no promises and at the same time make the client feel like they are in the best hands. It’s hard to find people that you feel are honest with you and that are willing to take risk for reward, I recommend Jonathan Minkus.
