Guy Haskell raises the bar

Guy Haskell is simply the best! He was patient, insightful, and a pleasure to talk to. Following his advice, and with some work, I was able to get a dismissal. Guy Haskell is the gold standard of lawyers, providing me with all the help I could have asked for and more!

GREAT EXPUNGEMENT ATTORNEY

I hired Guy Haskell to expunge my record. He did an excellent job, and charged much less than other attorneys I talked to. He even made a court appearance for me and didn't charge me extra. He was very personable and easy to work with. Great communication. I highly recommend him!

BEST DEFENSE LAWYER IN BLOOMINGTON! WITHOUT A DOUBT! WE CAN CERTIFY IT!

Defense lawyer Guy Haskell helped, explained, guided my wife with what to do with a misunderstanding with the law that was intended to take her to court and place her in jail. Lawyer Guy Haskell took our case and gave relief to my children, my wife's parents, my parents and the whole family when he w...as able to prove the county judge that my wife was not involved nor planned a fraud she was accused of. Lawyer Guy Haskell was able to avoid a court appearance and jail time for my wife based on his expertise with the law system and similar cases. He heard us every time we had a question or concern and dedicated too much time to our case. He was in frequent contact with us via email, cell phone, text or in person. He gave us continuous updates about the case and let us know about the different stages of the process since it was the first time ever that one member in our family went through a false accusation. We chose lawyer Guy Haskell because he has won numerous defense cases, he has a strong reputation of fighting for justice, and because he has cleaned many clients' name even before going to court. He is willing to defend clients who have been given bad-intended accusations and when there is no solid evidence from the counterpart. Lawyer Guy Haskell really cares about the negative impact a person could have in the legal system and check backgrounds when looking for jobs. We mostly hired lawyer Guy Haskell because he wants a fair and transparent treatment for his clients. You won't regret to hire Guy as your lawyer if you or any family member is accused of something they did not do it. Anonymous

Handled My Case the Right Way

I can’t say enough good things about my attorney. From the very beginning, he was straightforward, responsive, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He took the time to explain the process, answered my questions honestly, and never made promises he couldn’t keep. What I appreciated most was ho...w calm and confident he was throughout the case. When things felt stressful or uncertain, he stayed focused on the strategy and kept my best interests front and center. In the end, he worked hard to reach a resolution that avoided a conviction and protected my future, which meant everything to me. He treated me with respect, didn’t judge, and genuinely cared about the outcome of my case. If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, professional, and truly has your back, I would absolutely recommend him without hesitation.

Very easy to work with

Guy was very supportive and available for all of my questions. He was no nonsense, straight forward, and upfront with cost. He was very knowledgeable on expungement.
