"Rick and I have worked together many times over the years. Rick was a prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney's office. He was a formidable opponent. As a prosecutor, Rick always conducted himself with the highest degree of integrity while acting as an aggressive advocate for the State. Now that he is in private practice, Rick has brought the same qualities to his representation of criminal defendants. I highly recommend this attorney."

"Richard Albanese is one of the best multi-state licensed attorneys I know. It has been a pleasure watching Richard speak with his clients and fight for them inside the courtroom. Because of this, I learned many skills and have become a better lawyer due to Richard's knowledge and leadership. He is a lawyer who is fluent with the law and handles himself in the most professional manner. Being a former state prosecutor, Richard has invaluable experience that he has carried over to the criminal defense side. I would recommend any potential client with a criminal or traffic matter to Richard."
