Our family was introduced to Richard Dvorak after we were unable to find a lawyer willing to take our case. Richard took the time to meet with most of the family members to formally introduce himself, gain a better understanding of the unfortunate situation and to answer all our questions. After that initial meeting, we were confident that Richard would be the right person to seek justice for our family.
Throughout our case, Richard was transparent and honest, kept us updated, and made sure that we had a clear understanding of all the various aspects and procedures related to our case. He made sure that we were well-informed and knowledgeable about each step in the legal process, providing us with clear explanations and guidance along the way. Richard’s commitment to keeping us informed and involved throughout the case was evident, and his efforts to ensure our understanding of the complexities involved were greatly appreciated.
When deciding on whether you should pursue Richard Dvorak for your case, after 8 years of working with him, we share the following about Richard:
-A trustworthy and skilled lawyer
-Valuable asset to have on your side during any legal process
-Genuinely cares about his clients
-Knows how to navigate the appeals process ultimately leading to a successful outcome
-No question is a dumb question; encouraged all of us to ask questions whenever we didn’t understand something
-Ask for us to share our thoughts, feelings, and viewpoints during the trial process
-Experience in evaluating situations from diverse perspectives
Richard – Thank you for all you have done for us. We are pleased with the result of our case and could not have achieved it without you.
Family of Vanessa V. Taylor

I paid 20,000 dollars for this lawyer to represent me. I did not get my money's worth. He did not return phone calls or emails. He did not have a good understanding of the caselaw regarding my circumstances. He did not review the latest caselaw regarding my issues.

This office is outstanding. They did for me what other attorneys wouldn't. I couldn't be happier with their work and the results they got me! I highly recommend this office. Very professional and on top of things.

Richard is a great lawyer. I was wrongfully convicted of 5 felony charges in 2015. After hiring Richard, within a year, I was released from prison because he got all of the convictions vacated. As of now, I am a free man and no longer a convicted felon. Richard is a great attorney that will fight for you in court.

I meet with a few lawyers before I meet with Richard and as cliche as it sounds, but he literally got me my life back. I felt most comfortable and confident in Richard than I did with the rest. From the get go Richard kept it real, he didn't beat around the bush and confidently advised me rather or not he can win my case or have to take a plea. I was looking at a mandatory sentencing of 1-3 years for an aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and DUI. Richard took on my case brilliantly and without fear of having to take it to trial but because of his incredible knowledge, diligence and experience, we didn't have to go to trial...Richard got my entire case dismissed and charges dropped. And, he did it at a very fair and extremely reasonable cost especially compared to the rest. Another great plus is his fluency in Spanish which came in handy when explaining the proceedings to my parents.
Highly recommended and will always refer, Richard and his associates. Thank you Richard and Iveliz!!
P.S.
Hey Richard, GIVE IVELIZ HER OWN OFFICE!! :-D

Rich was very helpful, kept me in the loop, and got me a great deal in my misdemeanor criminal matter, keeping me out of jail. Great lawyer.

Three years ago I was wrongfully accused and convicted of criminal sexual assault, and was to serve ten years at 85%. After much prayer and meditation I received a letter from Mr. Richard J. Dvorak telling me that he was going to represent me before the Appellate Court. Not long after Mr. Dvorak informed me that I had won a favorable decision in my appeal. I truly believe that through his diligent, hard work and legal experience this was the reason I was released. I would most gladly refer him to any and all. Thank You

I was falsely convicted of a murder charge and given 110 years in prison. After 16 1/2 years my case was overturned by 7th Curcuit Court. When I was released I tried to hire attorneys to represent me on a civil lawsuit in order to receive compensation for my wrongful conviction. Unfortunately I was turned down by many and told that I had to wait until the lower courts decided if they wanted to retry me before I could pursue a lawsuit. After speaking with Richard he was brave enough to take on the case the moment he gathered all the information he felt he needed. Since being on my case, Richard has uncovered more hidden evidence that Lawyers I had in the past had'nt been able to discover, he has also been very helpful in helping me stay focused thru my struggles, as we await trial/settlement. I have every confidence that Richard will get me the just due compensation I deserve for the wrong that has been made against me by the representatives of the state of Indiana. I highly recommend this Attorney to anyone who is seeking justice, because he will give you due diligence in his representation on your behalf.

Richard Dvorak took on a case for me as a Defensive Lawyer that was high profile against Law Enforcement, not only did he find evidence that proved my innocence, he was able to prove the evidence was purposely hidden by law enforcement. I am now working with Richard and his referral partners on a Civil case. Richard took the case head on, was very trustworthy and made me feel at ease. I basically put my future in his hands, and Richard was able to prevent wrongful prosecution. I would definitely recommend Richard as an attorney. His rates were very reasonable and fair, and I never felt like he was overcharging me like many other attorneys do. In fact I feel that I owe more to Richard due to the nature of my case. Richard is very skilled at what he does and knows the laws. Often times I didn't understand terminology or the process of a court case and Richard always explained it on my level. I always felt like my case was his main priority even when I knew Richard was actively working other cases. If you are seeking Illinois best, get in contact with Richard Dvorak.
