Al Jones is Your Guy. Believe Me!

After receiving my recent (and first) DUI, I read the laws and pretty much thought I knew what was in store for me, and I was terrified. It was not an "aggravated DUI" situation but the evidence was overwhelming and I was "solidly" above 0.08% BAC. I decided to get a lawyer but didn't have any referr...als in Lake County so I reluctantly went to the internet. After finding many potential lawyers, it was Al's reviews that stood out to me so I called. I received a call back from Al and was able to get in to see him that day. His background is extremely solid. He explained the process to me and was available by personal cell phone to answer the many questions I had. Was at my court appearances and explained what was going to happen. To make a long story short, I could not have been more pleased with the outcome (being realistic with my situation). Al really went to bat for me. The time from my arrest to my supervision sentence was very rapid. Al is so very good at this... and he cares about you personally. Always says, "call me anytime". Do not hesitate to contact Al. Also, his rates are extremely reasonable (and worth every penny).

Handled my case masterfully...

Facing a felony DUI charge, I was very scared when I turned to Alan for help. He assured me he would do his best, but the outlook could have been grim: a conviction on this charge would have carried a lifetime driving revocation and significant prison time. Alan handled the case masterfully, keeping ...me out of prison AND maintaining my driving privileges. I hold Alan in very high regard and could not recommend him any stronger!!

My Best Legal Decision Was Hiring Alan Jones

I am a resident of Michigan who was working in Illinois. My life situation was proceeding as expected until one day in Lake County, Illinois a chain of events occurred which placed me accused and arrested for a Misdemeanor Offense. I was innocent of the charges, as the dishonest person who filed t...his complaint against me had knowledge of the court system, and how to manipulate it to their favor. This issue threatened my current and future employment, as in my career a criminal record of any kind is not acceptable. How lucky I was to find Attorney Alan Jones. Mr. Jones handled my situation completely and professionally, and stood by me every step of the process. My legal options were carefully explained and I was instructed with competent legal advice. I most enjoyed being able to communicate my opinions with a level of understanding and compassion that is most uncommon compared to other legal professionals I have worked with. There was no haggling concerning the flat fee I was charged for the service. Even after the case was closed, follow up motions needed to be addressed. Mr. Jones handled everything, and came through 110%. I have since returned back to Michigan. Mr. Jones continues to follow up from time to stay in touch. If you are in need of a fair, competent, knowledgeable legal representation look no further than Alan Jones. He is indeed the best ever.

I HIGHLY recommend Alan Jones

“I can't recommend Alan Jones highly enough. I was impressed not only by his knowledge, but how candid he was about the entire scope of my situation. Alan explained worse case, best case and outlined a detailed strategy to achieve the best possible outcome. I found Alan to be very well connected i...n the legal system (knew everyone including prosecutors and judges) and had cordial relationships with them. What amazed me most was his ability to be patient with his strategy by continuing cases until he had the right set of circumstances. I could not have been happier with the end result, which was the best case scenario he initially laid out.”
