George V. Laughrun II

I have used George many times over the years and referred him to several friends and relatives that used him. He is very thorough in his work and looks for any type of loophole he can. I was looking at jail time for a second dui, and he kept me out of jail and with no ankle monitor. I also used him i...n a domestic violence case where my abuser tried to sue me for money he gave me. Not only did I not have to pay my abuser, but he went to jail for assault on a female and was ordered to pay restitution. I also got the restraining order I asked for. My son used him as well, and George got his case thrown out on a technicality! I recommend George for anyone's needs. Again, he is the best. He also got my husband's speeding ticket thrown out!

He's really bad at interviewing witnesses on the stand, and is visually uncomfortable speaking to judges. When we got into the courtroom it was clear he was completely unprepared: he didn't know anything about the case (x happened, then y, then z, etc), was unfamiliar with basic witness informatio...n, he never asked the prosecutor's expert any questions, and the one cop that bothered to show was completely let off the hook when the body-cam video footage and his written report had almost nothing in common. He stammered his entire way through opening and closing arguments, which spent swinging at emotions (poorly) when he should have been hammering facts and pointing out inconsistencies.

My legal problems started when the state I have always lived in, Illinois, passed the National Driver Registry Problem Driver Pointer System (PDPS). It required all issues with a person’s driver’s license in other states to be cleared up before renewing your license. I received a letter from the St...ate of Illinois that I had an incident from North Carolina on my driving record from 1990. In the early 1990’s I was a victim of identity theft in the states of North and South Carolina. I believed everything was cleared up, since I acted with the police and credit agencies back then to clear everything up. I was never aware of the driving offense. The offense turned out to be drunk driving, to which the person plead guilty in my name and then never paid the fine or took the classes. George V. Laughrun II was recommended to me by a local person in the legal community. I made contact with George and the situation was difficult to say the least with courts in North Caroline closed because of Covid. I have never met George in person, but he handled a very difficult case for me and did so long distance, via emails and phone calls. The case was 30 years old and the person plead guilty, so it wasn’t just a quick dismissal. George was great. He not only saw that charge, but that I had two other charges in my name. He had to meet with the District Attorney and get her to agree to go to court and then demonstrate that I was a victim of identity theft. I supplied George with the proof I had from the 1990’s. I wish I had kept copies of everything, but overtime I threw things away, since I thought it was all behind me. The judge agreed with the DA and the charges in my name were dismissed. I was able to get my driver’s license renewed. I would highly recommend George, he is friendly and great advocate. His rates are very reasonable and he keeps you informed on what is going on with your case. I don’t believe my case would have been handled so smoothly without George.
