Criminal Defense 80%

I have provided tough-minded, highly personalized criminal defense to residents of Lake County and beyond for 25 years. In the highly competitive legal world, the longevity I have enjoyed as a Lake County, IL criminal defense attorney is a strong indicator of the high-quality representation I provide. It is not, however, the only evidence of my ability to successfully defend individuals against the full spectrum of criminal cases.

Excellent attorney

Lou has helped my fiance several times. He worked with us on payments and kept him out of prison when he should have done time. Love this man!

An Honest Lawyer

He was honest, direct and trustworthy. Qualities I value above all else. A pleasure to work with and gets promised results.

Posted by Ric | December 08, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Good in many areas of the law

I have had the opportunity to utilize Mr Pissios' services on numerous occasions. It is not just criminal law that Louis excels in, but rather most all courtroom cases. No matter the case, walking into a courtroom with Louis is walking in with a man that knows the courts, the system and the procedure...s. He takes charge and proceeds with determination, a strong confidence and knowledge. With that stance, he likes to win and I am thankful that he does. Mr Pissios has handled some corporate and personal litigation for me and I couldn't have been more pleased.

SAVED

I was arrested/wrongly accused of a class x felony, after speaking with Mr Pissios he assured me that if I was innocent , he would dig up the facts and prove that I was! Mr Pissios did just that.. he saved my life..

Helped with contract

I hired Mr. Pissios to write up a contract. I must say the contract was very professional and served its purpose well. I would definitely hire Mr. Pissios again.
