Good outcome to nasty situation

Interviewed/hired Barry on Monday and he was in court 2 days later to represent me. His quality representation continued for months until the case facing me (Agg DUI and more, with potential jail time) was resolved in a way that should enable me to get an IL license again in the future. Barry is wel...l connected in Lake County and got me the best deal I could reasonably expect. I made the right decision hiring him and would strongly recommend same to others facing dire circumstances.

Expert @ filing court paperwork, Failure @ working for client

I took approximately $1800 from my employer. I informed my employer and had cash to return. My employer decided to press charges. I hired Mr. Boches. Initially he indicated he could probably get charges dropped. That didn't happen. During case proceedings Mr. Boche reassured me charges would be a dr...opped to misdemeanor. At next to last court appearance Mr. Boche approached me with a request to pay the remainder of my bill; I did. At last court appearance I asked Mr. Boche were charge reduced - he walked over to State Attorney said a few words then came back and said no, they won't. HUH!!! He can file court papers well, but work diligently to negotiate a lesser charge he gets an F grade from me! And I made the mistake of paying entire bill before conclusion of my case. Never do that. This was my only case, it happened 20+ years ago and today I live with a felony for (yes - my actions); however taking $1800 and then notifying employer with the cash should not be a felony & he did nothing to earn the $4000 I paid expect file paperwork I could have done myself!!!

really! This happened allegedly 20 YEARS AGO, and this is the first time anyone hears of it! Obviously some hater with another agenda here . First of all, I NEVER MAKE PROMISES OF A RESOLUTION, never have...I may say what we would like to ultimately happen, but I NEVER make promises of outcomes. Second , he got convicted of what he did...allegedly...but since this ANONYMOUS person won't identify himself..I can't refute him specifically. I rest on my reputation earned over the last 37 years, I have hundreds of very satisfied customers... 20 YEARS AGO...YEAH RIGHT!

Exceptional Criminal Defense Attorney !!!!!!!!!

Attorney Boches was hired to represent a family member who had multiple complicated criminal cases, as well as traffic violations and was looking at mandatory prison time as he was on Federal Parole. He was extremely professional was dedicated to achieving a favorable outcome. Throughout the ordea...l he personally explained the process step by step in laymen's terms that were easy to understand and were reassuring. In addition his prices are fair and he also allowed payment arrangements. He worked his magic, essentially pulling a rabbit out of his hat, and all charges were dropped!!! I recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services.

FIGHTS FOR EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Barry went all out til we finally closed our case. After 5 years of going back n forth to court, Barry was able to give me the outcome that I wanted even though I had picked up new offenses while on probation for a case. With his experience and knowledge of the court system, I'm sure glad I hired Ba...rry. He definitely knows what he is doing,and I HIGHLY recommend him.

Best lawyer Great result

I was up against a lot 7 felonies 2 being enhanced class X. Facing a total of 83 years with minimum mandatory of 36 years for gun and drug charges my life seemed to be over. Talking with different lawyers they all said I would be going to the penitentiary no matter what with the minimum of 8 to 15 as... the best option. A couple days away from my court date I met with Barry Boches after I heard good things about him. As soon as I called he said to come in so we could figure this out after telling him my situation. He was straight to the point and completely honest with me he doesn't sugar coat anything he tells it just like it is. He immediately told me he would make sure that I'm safe and I'll stay out of prison and that there would be no way I would go away. I fired my lawyer I had originally hired and immediately hired Barry. He is worth every penny you will pay as he literally saved my life. Facing basically my life in prison Barry worked out a deal with the court as only probation. He did exactly what he said he would do it was basically a miracle. I got to be home with my family and I am set to get off probation only half way through. No other lawyer in lake county could have made this happen Barry has a great relationship with the courts again he saved my life I could not be more thankful that I hired him. His results are unbelievable and he is a very honest man. Hire Barry if you need a lawyer, you see what I was facing in my case it doesn't get much deeper than that he will get your case taken care of. Thank you Barry!!!!
