I was arrested by the Elmhurst Police department in March of 2025. Stavri was my first choice for representing me in this case. His professionalism and punctuality remained consistent throughout the entire case, which lasted several months. The Wheels of Justice turn slow and I believe that Stavri ma...de them turn as fast as possible, given the circumstances. I was pulled over for improper lighting. Officer smelled alcohol and I admitted to having a drink. After performing the filed sobriety test I was arrested and taken to Elmhurst Jail. I was convinced to blow to measure my BAC which was .10. Legal prior to ‘93. After he reviewed the bodycam footage, we decided that it would be worth disputing the charges. Which we did, thankfully. The case resulted in ALL charges being dropped. Thanks again Stavri & Vako Law

My mom had a car accident where the car was totaled and a ticket was issued for inappropriate speed due to weather which I knew she wasn't. My mom doesn't speak good English so I wanted someone to help her through this. I emailed around to a few different lawyers and Starvi was the only one to reply ...quickly with the show empathy with the situation. All of us in the family were nervous wrecks but talking to him and looking at his reviews gave me confidence in leading us through the proceeding. The day of the hearing, we went into the courtroom without him. He showed up a few minutes late but answered his phone to let me know he'll be there and to relax. After entering, he talked to some people and filled out some paper work. When it came time for my mom to get up. He brought her over and my mom didn't have to say a word. It ended up being dismissed immediately. We went to sat back down but he guided us out. That was shockingly it! We were struck by how quickly the process was. We lost a lot of sleep over this incident and now can sleep better knowing it was like it never happened. It felt like Stavri had some voodoo magic. We hope we dont need to use his services again but will if its ever needed. We highly recommend his services. Thanks again!

I couldn't be more grateful and pleased with the exceptional defense representation I received from Stavri Vako as my attorney for a Class B Speeding situation. He is very knowledgeable, professional, personable, and genuinely cared about my case from start to finish. I can say that he really wen...t above and beyond to ensure that I receive the best possible outcome. My case was fully dismissed. Hands down the best defense lawyer to get. I highly recommend using his services, he's sharp and knows his stuff.

I had the pleasure of working with Lawyer Stavri Vako, and I was very impressed by his professionalism, knowledge, and approachable manner. I reached out to him regarding a traffic ticket that I was extremely concerned about, as it could have potentially resulted in the suspension of my driver’s lice...nse. From the beginning, Mr. Vako reassured me and provided clear guidance. On the day of court, he met with me, spoke directly with the prosecutor, and successfully had the entire ticket dismissed. It was as if the ticket never existed—it does not appear on my record. I am very grateful for the outcome and for his support throughout the process. I highly recommend Mr. Vako to anyone in need of legal assistance. I will certainly continue to seek his services in the future.
