Mr. Vako is a definitely a force to be reckoned with. I was very nervous with my hearing and he was calm and confident, like a breeze, but he didn't have a worry in the world. He said he would call me as a witness, but I did not have to give my testimony, at all. He handle my case and my hearing like... a true professional. Basically, he mopped the floor with the other lawyer and the petitioner!!! I was blown away and proud that I had a bulldog lawyer on my side. I would definitely recommend him to anyone know. Yes he can be slightly expensive, but he does work with you and is very reasonable/flexible.

Stavri was able to complete my court case for first time DUI in 42 days of my incident. After my incident, I contacted Stavri and within the first consultation, we were able to come up with a game plan on how I could tackle this issue and move on. First and most importantly, his demeanor calmed my ne...rves and he assured me that this would not ruin my life or my future career. Next, we decided on how we would present ourselves and we attacked. We went to court twice and after the second day at court, we were 100% done. I did not lose my license at all, I did not have to put a device in my car, I did not have my driving privileges taken away, and most importantly I was not given a felony for DUI. Stavri was extremely clear, direct, and made the case very simple to understand. I was able to sleep properly and continue doing well at my job the entire time this was going on. He kept assuring me to continue to live your life as you would as if this didn't happen and allow him to do the work. His pricing is extremely fair, and he is willing to always go the extra mile for you. In terms of communication, he will never end the day without returning your phone call, e-mail, or any other attempts to reach him. He is very transparent with his methods and he will go the extra length to give you that assurance that everything will be okay. Your well being is his priority. He will continue to ask you, "do you have any other questions?" "Is there anything else I can do to make you feel more relaxed?" By the end of the case, he becomes less of an attorney for you and more of a friend. Overall, if you get into a situation where you have a DUI, please consult with Stavri. Honestly, he will give you mental peace and solve your problem for you.

The review title says it all. This was the first time in my life that I needed a lawyer and trying to find out who was good or not and if I would be paying too much for the service were great sources of anxiety for me. I decided to go with Stavri Vako because he came across as sincere and I felt ...very comfortable knowing that he is one of the top attorneys in the field. I am more confident than ever that I made the right decision. Within a very short period of time, all of my legal woes were gone and he got me my license back 3 weeks before he had initially estimated. He will work for you and your interests. Strong encouragement to retain his services if you need to straighten out anything driving or traffic related. Thank you Stavri!

Very smooth experience. I had inquired on an online website and Mr. Vako gave me a call the next day. I explained my situation about my speeding ticket and my worries. He made me feel less nervous and he sounded confident. We went to Elgin, Illinois for the case and he came with a great legal argueme...nt, unfortunately the prosecutor was not there that day. The judge made a new court date which we all agreed on, and when we went to the new date and we won the case. I'm really happy with attorney Vako he was very professional and intelligent. His demeanor was the same and he was able to have the case dismissed and I am very happy.
