Jonathan Minkus

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.

Outstanding professional attorney! Dear Mr. Minkus, We just wanted to thank you for all of your excellence and hard work. Our family and I truly appreciates everything you have done for my husband. This has been a life changing event and it would have been different if we wouldn't have found you. Yo...u have given my husbands life back and we can't thank you enough for fighting for my husband the way you did. His case was extremely difficult but YOU NEVER GAVE UP! We are able to sleep in peace after 7 long years of fear, and you just don’t know how much we appreciate you. God bless you Mr. Minkus, you are truly an outstanding professional attorney! I recommend Jonathan Minkus to anyone, he will get the job done no matter what the situation is, he will let you know, he is very upfront. Defending others is his Passion and he is great at it! Go with Jonathan Minkus, you will not be disappointed with his end results! We love you Mr. Minkus!

I was wrongfully advised by an immigration lawyer to expunge my criminal record that consisted of a drug related charge in order to apply for residency. My wife and I quickly found out this was not true and were referred by two different lawyers (who did not know one another) to contact Mr. Minkus. W...e were without hope and filled with stress. After meeting with Mr. Minkus we retained his services immediately. We had an idea about how much his services would cost (and although it took about a year to be able to) we came prepared. It was worth it. He informed us how much more difficult our case is because we expunged the records. He was honest right from the beginning and actually cared. He didn't disregard our stress and anxieties like most lawyers we met with. Throughout the whole process we never had any difficulty getting in touch with him and he updated me every step of the way. Although our chances were slim to none in getting a favorable outcome- he did it. Thanks to him and his hard work we now have hope that I can become a resident of this country and can take the next steps to do so. As the decision was finalized the judge made sure I knew... "You have yourself a good lawyer here." I will recommend, and do recommend, everyone who needs hope to Mr. Minkus.

recently hired attorney Jonathan Minkus for representation on a pending case in Lake County. Prior to calling Jonathan in my distress, I had called a few different lawyers and to be perfectly honest... the majority of them gave me little to no hope. Several informed me that frankly due to the severit...y of my charges they were doubtful that they could do much to help me in this case. My case was in fact pretty severe as I had been driving on a revoked license for prior DUI offenses. That revocation happened more than a decade ago. Since that time a lot had changed including my current sobriety. However, the law is the law and I had been caught without a valid Driver’s License. I called Jonathan in desperation, a friend had recommended him. My wife Joanna and I called on a Saturday and he was out golfing as I remember, but answered the phone. I remember he told me that he could meet me the following day. “It’s Sunday?” I said, he simply said “I know you’ve got a pretty severe case here, I like the sound of your voice and I would like to meet and talk with you.” We meet Jonathan that next Sunday at his office in Skokie. What struck me about Jonathan was his direct approach and the sense of urgency in which he started to make things happen. He told me that he couldn’t promise anything and that the charges were in fact extremely severe and that he had been around for a long time (30yrs.) “All we can do is go for it and hope for the best”.He then stated that he would be honored to take my case if I decided to chose him to represent me. Honored to take my case? I thought. I hired him and at some point shortly after our first court date together my anxiety started to come down. Jonathan made us feel at ease. A few things about Jonathan that I learned a along the way. He values his client, he values his time and he tells you only exactly what you need to know, when it is pertinent to your case. I learned a lot about patience and my wife and I put our faith in him because we knew he was going to do what he could to represent me. The outcome was incredibly favorable and I will always be grateful of the service Jonathan provided. Jonathan Minkus is exceptional. With poise and confidence he manages to make no promises and at the same time make the client feel like they are in the best hands. It’s hard to find people that you feel are honest with you and that are willing to take risk for reward, I recommend Jonathan Minkus.
