Class B Misdemeanor Aggravated Speeding

Sami helped to lower my charge from a Class B Misdemeanor for aggravated speeding to a petty offense. Sami was very successful during the process and I was only charged with a petty speeding ticket. He was very professional and accurate during the court hearing. He predicted just what the judge would... ask and say, and was well prepared to answer his questions regarding the offense. My charge was lessened with court supervision, with traffic schooling. Because of Sami, I am now not paying a ridiculous amount of money for a ticket, and left satisfied with his services.

Great reliable lawyer

Sami handled my case very professionally. He didn't take a lot of my time and always to the point. very reachable and very fast problem solver. Gives me a peace in mind. We won the case without having me to do the work. Thank you and respect.

Excellent Criminal Defense Lawyer!! Excellent Outcome!!

I contacted Attorney Sami Azhari because I was arrested for a very serious felony charge. I was extremely frightened being charged with an A felony and I needed the best attorney in Illinois area to represent my case. Mr. Azhari was extremely professional, knowledgeable and sincere. Took the time to ...explain my case, then worked very hard to gather all the necessary facts to defend my case. He fought hard, never giving up, until my name and background record was finally cleared! I am very grateful for having Mr. Azhari as my lawyer, for I am sure anyone who chooses Mr. Azhari as their lawyer, would benefit from his knowledge and experience as much as I did. He gave me a peace of mind that I could not have found elsewhere. I am grateful for his professional services and won’t hesitate to call him in the future and will be glad to make recommendations for Attorney Azhari and his firm to anyone I know!! I cannot say enough good things about Sami, he is an outstanding attorney and I owe him everything.

Great Lawyer, Ran Circles Around Prosecution! - DWI Case

Last year I was pulled over for a DWI in Cook County. I felt like the whole basis behind the stop was total BS and there was absolutely no reasoning for the officer to pull me over. I didn't blow because I had consumed a couple of beers with coworkers earlier in the night, and though I wasn't drunk, ...but I didn't want to incriminate myself further by having any alcohol show up on the breathalyzer. Naturally the officer arrested me any after doing well on 98% of my field sobriety test. The next day I looked in Avvo and found Sara Toney. She personally contacted me the same day and got me in touch with a great attorney, Sami Ashari, who ran circles around the prosecution and got all the charges completely dropped before we even went to trial. Now that's good counseling! All I can say is the money is worth it if you have a competent team. Thank you Sarah and Sami. Sorry it took me this long to write this review.

Great Lawyer

I first hired Sami several years ago to work a wrongful termination case I had. He was insightful and helpful. He met with me and explained things so easily to me. We went over my original contract and the basis in which I was terminated, and he got me a nice settlement. I will continue going to Sami... Azhari for all my judicial needs.
