Posted by LSP | June 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

On Point. On time. Efficient.

I got 2 tickets in the Forest Preserve, speeding in a 15-mile zone and not observing a stop sign. I found Cosley on the internet and hired him over the phone. He was courteous on the phone and explained what he could and could not do. I appreciated that since I had talked to other lawyers that were c...ompletely useless. Also, I called him on the day I had the court hearing and he made it. My case was super easy and it was dismissed in 2 minutes. Hiring Cosley expedited the process. 1) I did not want to come back 2) I did not want the tickets on my record. The tickets were dismissed and I ended up paying $214 the Rolling Meadows court fees + Cosley's fee. I think it was worth hiring him.

Top notch attorney

Chris was able to get two of the 3 tickets dismissed on a plea and even corrected the court at the last minute to make sure all tickets were included in the plea to avoid future bench warrants. Excellent service and I would hire again if needed.

Excellent, Extremely Competent, Trustworthy - Best Lawyer!

I have gone through a couple other lawyers before I met Mr. Cosley. I frankly do not know where to behind. My life suddenly had turned upside down and there appeared to be no hope...until Christopher Cosley got involved. During this most difficult time in my life, he helped me tremendously by hi...s extreme knowledge of the legal system and by his continuous support and true care about his clients. During the hardest times, when I needed it the most, he was there as a lawyer and also as a trustworthy friend, who knows the system very well. I can truly say that Mr. Cosley is the best lawyer, extremely competent and caring professional. I would recommend him to anybody who wants a lawyer that can fight and win. He did a wonderful job! He was always there to respond to any questions that I had. We won the case, in a short period of time. Excellent, Excellent Job! To this day, I am still amazed how Mr. Cosley had changed my life. Out of the lawyers that I have used in the past, he did the best job, the best lawyer that I could recommend. Thank you very much, Mr. Cosley, you couldn’t have done a better job!!

Criminal defense lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Christopher quite simply one of the best attorneys I know. When I was an Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney for over 14 years, I had the opportunity - as opposing counsel - to see Christopher in action (most often to the detriment of my formerly rock-solid prosecution case). I have tried cases against Christopher that ranged from the most minor traffic tickets to the most serious criminal matters. Take it from a former prosecutor who had to oppose him in court, Christopher is a brilliant, eloquent and highly effective trial attorney. He combines the qualities of toughness on behalf of his clients, with an affability that makes him well liked by judges, prosecutors and the entire legal community. I give Christopher my highest recommendation."
