great attorney

Brian Small is an excellent attorney with a vast knowledge in the DUI field. He helped me get my drivers license reinstated after having multiple duis. The process wasn't easy but Brian helped me every step of the way. Thank you Brian! You are a great attorney and I highly recommend anyone with legal... issues be that a dui or anything else to contact Brian Small ASAP.

Fantastic Attorney, Very Personable, Awesome overall experience.

We dealt with many attorneys in the past when it came to reinstating my drivers license, none were more honest and more aggressive than Attorney Small's. He took a situation where I myself did not feel confident in reestablishing my drivers license and through hard work and perseverance got my licens...e back in under 20 days from start to finish, the funny part is the majority of that was purely paperwork with the court system. He is also VERY affordable, which is important to young adults like me, a lot of the attorneys I looked into before would not touch my case for anything less than a thousand dollars. We went from start to finish well under 400 dollars minus my personal court fines. He knocked off 4 months on my daunting 12 month sentenced, now because of him and him only, I will be able to go to school this coming summer and continue my education. I highly recommend Attorney Small's. I will be passing him along any friends/family/acquaintances that have any trouble with traffic cases. You best believe that I also will keep him as my personal traffic attorney. Also, a cool thing about Attorney Small's is he treated me like a human being, 15 minutes before court even started, we were in the back of the court room, making jokes, and talking about sports. He's down to earth and he is fantastic at what he does. My only regret is that I did not call him sooner. Thank you Attorney Small's. I really appreciate all that you have done.

Illinois Reinstatement was a nightmare until Brain came along!

After a long battle with the state with no progress, I retained Brian and he took me through the whole process with care and professionalism. As an attorney his advice was accurate and to the point. He let me know exactly what was needed to be done and why I was suppose to take his advice. I would re...commend Brian to anybody that is going through this painful process, as a matter of fact, I don't know anybody that is more caring and thorough as he is and I appreciate all his time and effort. Brain as your attorney is money well spent. Great JOB Brian!!

Brian went above and beyond what was necessary to handle my case and get my license back

Brian and I worked together for over 9 months to get my license back. Brian prices were very reasonable and he was easy to get along with. He really broke down my case so that I understood exactly what was going on and needed to do. On top of that we hit some speedbumps with the secretary of state... (at no fault of brians) and he went on his own time to fix and correct there mistakes at no charge. He was a pleasure to do business with hopefully I wont need him again but would recommend him to anyone. MIke

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
