The best criminal defense lawyer in Lake County IL

Elliot is terrific! Hired him for a very complicated Juvenile defense case in Lake County, IL. He was very very impressive on how to navigate thru it and got our case fully dismissed. Super experienced, very friendly. Great negotiator. Knows everyone in the county and is very responsive to you v...ia phone and email. Truly cares about your result. Hes extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent reputation in the courts. You wont go wrong with Elliot. A great lawyer in criminal defense and a really great guy. Highly recommend.

Outstanding

Elliot represented me 3 times in the past, 2 of which were rather high-profile cases. He is extremely knowledgeable, timely, responsive - and answers & returns calls quickly. I was very satisfied with all case resolutions and HIGHLY recommended his services.

If he can't help you it's you, not him

Elliot is amazing. I'm a difficult client and he put up with me, stood by me and fought for me. I don't work for him nor do I have any reason to lie. I didn't realize how creative he was until my second offense. He's, hands down, the BEST! And for what it's worth, Elliot, I'm sorry for my impulsive... comments. If I ever get into trouble again, I'm calling you. (Expect a call within the next 6-12 months). -A.S.

DUI Dismissed to Traffic Offense/No Misdemeanor on Record

When I first visited Elliot Pinsell he was informative and confident he could help me dismiss my case. He advised me to inquire with other law firms until I found someone who I could trust would best help me. Well, I visited quite a few offices and I did not find anyone who made me feel at ease about... my problem. When I chose to have Mr Pinsell represent me, his cost was fair. Elliot kept me up to date on my case and had me informed on every movement from the prosecutor. When my case went up, my DUI was dismissed and the costs were not as bad as I anticipated. The process lasted only a couple of months. Elliot helped me protect my record and more importantly, my career. Although I hope to never need a lawyer again, he will be my go to legal representative.

Best lawyer in Lake County

Have used Elliot multiple times and every time he walks into the court room he gets things done. Usually always the first one to see the judge and he knows all the DA's. You can't go wrong by picking Elliot to represent you.
