Excellent Representation by Mr. Minkus

I have selected Mr. Jonathan Minkus to represent me in several instances/legal issues, including very recently. I remain impressed with his knowledge, accessibility, and professionalism, both in and out of the courtroom. His gentle, respectful yet direct approach defending my case in the courtroom w...as well-received and led to what I believe to be a fair outcome. Hopefully never again needed, but I would definitely choose the representation of Mr. Minkus again.

Great Outcome

Johnathan Minkus worked and won a very hard case for me. He was able to overturn my prior conviction and I could not be more grateful. Whenever I talked with Johnathan about how important this case was to me and my family I felt like he really understood where I was coming from. I always felt lik...e he was also very honest with me from the very beginning and all the way through the court proceedings. Carrol was also very nice and was excellent to work with as well. She stayed in contact and answered any questions I had along the way. I cannot put into words how thankful I am today for their help. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Criminal Case

On April 15, 2021 I have engaged Jonathan Minkus law firm to help me to get one theft felony vacated in Dupage County. Out of three criminal attorneys I contacted, Mr. Minkus was the only one who told me that would be able to get the charge vacated, the other two attorneys told me that it is impossi...ble and they have never seen it done, the prosecutors simply do not agree to vacating old guilty felony judgments, nor would they ever agree and set a precedent. Nevertheless, Mr. Minkus had implicitly told me that he will get it done. I have retained his services and paid in full. I was fully aware that no lawyer can guarantee an outcome, however, being lied to and being misled is another thing. Ultimately, the charge did not get vacated, as the prosecutor did not agree to it, just like the other two attorneys have told me. I would not recommend or refer anyone to him.
