Mr. Tikhvinskiy is a true professional and puts clients interests above all. He is highly skilled in the area of criminal defense and family law and I can personally attest to him being able to find solutions to several highly complex legal issues. Maksim and I were classmates at the University of Minnesota Law School. I frequently refer to his help with hypothetical questions in the area of criminal law, when I seek solutions in my clients' cases. I highly recommend and endorse this attorney. Top Illinois attorney in my opinion.
