Paul B. Wharton

After hiring couple other attorneys and fighting a D.U.I case, driving with a suspended lisence with possession of cannavis and 2 other traffic tickets things were not going no where. At that time I thought my life was ruined for ever and would never succeed in life till I found Mr.Wharton. Went ove...r his office with no hopes at all and after he reviewed my cases and had a word with him he did not promise me anything but what he did said to me was NOT TO WORRY THAT HE WOULD GET ME OUT OF THIS which made me feel a lot better because he sounded so sure about what he was saying and for the first time after two years I felt safe, I felt like I was in good hands and after our first court I started seeing changes and today I still cant believe my driver license is in my wallet like he told me.. My family is very happy and thankful for what this man has done. I would highly recomend him to my friends and you if your having issues like mine. HE GOT THE JOB DONE LIKE HE SAID.

I was pulled over and charged with a DUI in Winthrop Harbor and even though I had forgotten about an incident that happened 22 years ago he was able to work his magic and get it knocked down to a wreckless driving and got the order of suspension rescinded, so even when I was panicking he would just ...tell me to relax he's got this, he doesn't just treat you like a client he treats you like a friend and he doesn't say he can do anything that he can't get done, I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a decent and honest attorney, I appreciate everything that he did for me in my situation, when he says he's got your back is not just him saying something to shut you up he is really looking out for your best interest, I would recommend him to anyone that need a exceptional and decent attorney and friend because I'm glad he was on my side

About 6 months ago I received a DUI driving back from "the Tap room" in Chicago to Gurnee on I-94. I was going a 105mph in my BMW and got a ticket for that as well as the failed breath test. I blew a .096 at the station and they charged me with 3 misdemeanors related to it and the speeding. Needle...ss to say, I thought my life was over and I was very stressed out! I picked Paul as my lawyer after reading a few different reviews on the web and I feel it was the best choice I could have possibly made! Paul was able to extend the case several times until the speeding ticket was dropped and a plea agreement was made. The prosecutor did not want to drop the high speed ticket and Paul jumped though hoops by extending the case over and over until he managed to persuade the prosecutor to drop the misdemeanor to a fine. In total, I ended up only getting supervision with classes and fines. With the completion of supervision there will be no conviction!! The fines were approximately $2900 payable over a year, which I'm happy to do instead of getting a conviction. The way a supervision works is as follows. If you get court supervision for a DUI charge, the conviction will not be entered immediately. Instead the court will “supervise” you for a period of time, typically one year, after which the charge will be dismissed without a conviction. As long as you successfully complete the supervision period, the charge is dismissed. I would like to say that Paul has great character! He is a very like-able person. I really believe Paul is doing his job as a DUI Lawyer to help people out. If you've gotten a DUI, keep your head up and go see Paul. He will assure you that everything will be ok. Your life is not over as I thought mine was!

Recently, I needed legal help in a hurry. Paul was referred to me by another lawyer whose opinion I trusted. He helped me achieve the best possible outcome for a complicated, time sensitive situation. Paul did his homework and he always took the time to explain and advise. I would hire him again ...should the need ever arise.
