    • I recommend Sarah Toney.
    • I hired Sarah 1-6 months ago.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    Sarah was recommended to me by a good friend. Sarah defended me on a misdemeanor battery charge.

    As this was my first time ever being arrested, I had a lot of questions. Sarah was fantastic when it came to responding and answering my questions. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable, she was also great when it came to making herself available for phone calls and immediately responding to emails.

    Extremely professional, very personable and confident.

    Sarah was also reassuring throughout the entire process.

    Sarah won the case for me! I highly recommend Sarah Toney!

    I have hired attorney Toney for both of my DUI cases. She was honest and trustworthy from the beginning.

    • I recommend Sarah Toney.
    • I hired Sarah 1-3 years ago.
    • Sarah handled my Criminal Defense matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    I hired Sarah Toney to represent me for a class A misdemeanor case in March 2012.

    Being from Wisconsin, I didn't know an attorney in Chicago. I did a search on Avvo and from all the positive reviews about her on the site I chose her to represent me.

    Besides having a high degree of integrity and professionalism, Sarah is one of those rare individuals that has an exceptional blend of analytical and interpersonal skills. Her competence and experience are super.

    On my court date I was nervous. But once Sarah arrived at the court house, I felt much more relaxed and felt everything would work in my favor .

    She returned my calls in a timely manner. Sarah demonstrated an extraordinary level of reassurance with me, which I greatly appreciate.

    Sarah did a great job for me.

    I have absolutely no hesitation in advising you to hire Sarah as your attorney.

    Thank you Sarah.

    I really appreciate all that you did for me that day.

    Sarah handled my criminal misdemeanor case in August of 2011, and she was fantastic. She answered all my questions quickly, responded to emails or phone calls usually on the same day, and she was very kind and treated me with respect. She called to remind me of the court case dates and times, and followed up to ensure that I was prepared for that day. The outcome was successful for my court case, and I am grateful that I made a point of choosing a lawyer from Avvo.com. Her reputation listed on Avvo was excellent, and her professionalism was absolute. Thanks, Sarah!

    First; I would like to thank Sarah Toney (formerly Attorney at Komie and Associates) for representing me in my 2010 Driving under the Influence (DUI) in Cook County. Sarah professionalism and knowledge of judicial system is the best. During my year long court process, Sarah kept me and wife informed on each and every detail on what was happening in court and what can be expected in court. She had it right each and every time. She gave me confidence during each court visit and taught me how to be patient. Her knowledge (Educational background and experience) was and is outstanding! The time spent in consultation after each court visit was very educational. Sarah went over each detail of what happen and why, and what was to be expected at the next court visit. The results......we WON and the DUI was dropped. I highly recommend Sarah Toney, she is the BEST!!

    Guilty or innocent, you need great defense. Don't let the presumption of innocence create a sense of complacency or righteousness. Most jurors believe there must be a modicum of guilt to bring you to trial in the first place. I have never been on a jury, let alone the plaintiff on trial. I needed a lawyer who is responsive at all times to give me peace of mind. I needed a lawyer who is detailed and passionate about his or her business. I needed a lawyer that I could trust to understand the facts in my case and the legal facts that might affect my case, to build the best possible defense. The truth, in itself, is not enough in our court system. Sarah Toney is that lawyer. Innocent or guilty, Sarah has an incredible knowledge of how the criminal legal system works and understands what juries need to know and understand. While we won my case hands down, the final decision was in the jury’s hands. Win or lose, throughout the trial I had an incredible sense of calm knowing Sarah Toney fought the best possible fight. I was relieved knowing there wasn’t one more thing we could have done.
