This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Came to our rescue

I called Attorney Thiros to help us and our son with some very serious criminal charges in Illinois. Even though he does not practice in Illinois, he made the trip there to help us get our son home. Ultimately I hired an Illinois attorney, but I will be forever grateful to him for helping us through ...the first steps of this horrible ordeal.

A great advocate!

I cannot say enough about Attorney Jim Thiros! He worked hard to defend me and clear my name. He is professional and passionate about defending his clients. I was scared because I had never been in trouble before, but Attorney Thiros assured me that he would do everything possible to make sure that I... would be OK. The biggest compliment that I can give to Attorney Thiros is to continue to refer my friends and family to him.

Great lawyer!

Jim handled an OWI case for me and helped me so much. I was looking at a 1 year license suspension and he got the Prosecutor to reduce the charge and terminate the suspension. Jim kept me informed of what was going on with the case and got it resolved with just 1 court apppearance. Thanks Jim!

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.
