I had never received a traffic violation in my whole life, so when I received 6 tickets for my first offense from the officer, I was shocked. Stavri Vako not only handled my case in a timely and personal manner, but also answered any questions or concerns I had regarding my case. The level of trust I... put in his abilities was a reflection of his work ethic and determination to get me the best results possible in my case. I would highly recommend him as your attorney if you want the best results.

DUI in Skokie Not Guilty. I hired Mr. Vako for a DUI in Skokie courthouse. He was very helpful from day one. He made sure i was in the loop and informed about the process. Unlike other lawyers who were telling me to plead guilty, Mr. Vako promised me that he would fight this DUI until the end. I wasn...’t sure about the outcome but one thing i was sure about was that i knew Mr. Vako was trying his best and was truthful about his efforts. In the end, after a long trial, Mr. Vako got me the not guilty i was praying for. This lawyer’s fee is very reasonable and worth it every penny. That’s why i hired him again. Definitely recommend Mr. Vako for any case. He’s honest and very accessible as well.

I had a legal matter regarding a few traffic violations that resulted in the state trying to suspend my license for traffic violations that took place 6 years prior. It was an atypical situation that a couple attorneys refused because of the complexities. A good friend later referred me to Stavri..., and ensured me he was the right person to have my issue resolved. I sent Stavri a text and within minutes we were on the phone discussing the violations and the best path forward. Stavri instantly made me feel at ease, and walked me through his plan to avoid the suspension Within two weeks Stavri had matters resolved, and the following week I received a letter from the Secretary of State stating they would no longer proceed with suspending my license. Stavri was great, he checked all the boxes for me - dependable, knowledgeable, and reasonable. He delivered the results he said he would when he said he would. His legal services came at a fair price, but most importantly he was straight forward and trustworthy.

Mr. Vako has helped me with several legal matters. His dedication and passion for helping his clients far exceeded my expectations, and impressed me every time we met. Mr. Vako’s knowledge is profound, and he has a never ending drive to learn more to better help his clients. Having Mr. Vako assist... me in my legal matters consistently made me feel confident that I would get the best possible outcome for my situation each and every time. I highly recommend him, and I will return to him in any future legal matters I need assistance with.

After a family member received two separate unrelated tickets in a short period of time (speeding and failure to yield), I was concerned what it would do to a newer driver's driving privileges. I was referred to Stavri by a friend. After consulting with him about our situation that would include cour...t appearances in both a Lake County Court as well as a Cook County Court, we decided to hire him. Although his fees were not inexpensive, they were reasonable and expected. Stavri was knowledgable about what would happen and explained how things would go. He is also knowledgable about the various judges and prosecutors, which helped. Bottom line, both tickets were dismissed. The failure to yield was likely the easier one, as with no witness those are typically dismissed. However the speeding was more difficult. Ultimately that was dismissed due to no witness (police officer who issued the ticket), however going up against a prosecutor who tried to bully us into a guilty plea and who wasn't forthright about the officer not actually being present, Stavri stood his ground as he understood the law. Had we not been represented by Stavri, we likely would have been intimidated by the prosecutor's improper tactics and caved to his demands leaving the ticket to stand. We learned a lot from Stavri and he was a good teacher for the younger driver. I don't regret hiring Stavri at all. Going to court requires a professional who knows the law - Stavri would be a good choice for anyone and I would recommend him.
