With more than 29 years of legal experience and a track record of success to commend my Waukegan law firm, I formulate practical solutions to complex criminal law and family law matters.

My reputation as a lawyer was built on an in-depth investigation, persuasive negotiation and attentive advocacy for clients who have been accused of breaking the law, or of dividing a family through the decision to end a marriage. I also protect the rights of juveniles who are accused of crimes and delinquency, as well as handle cases of abuse and neglect of minors in a family law context.

Is your driver’s license at risk after an arrest for suspicion of drunk driving? I work hard to preserve your cherished driving privileges.

I found Mr. Conway on Google and called because he was close by; his office was just across the street from Lake County Courthouse. He was on time to meetings even though I wasn't always. He gave me some very good advice regarding my divorce and an Emergency Order of Protection. He emailed my documents which was so convenient. And he took payments from my Visa on his smart phone, although there was a fee for that. I was very pleased. For a busy lawyer he still took the time to be helpful and explain everything.
