Posted by Jonathan | September 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Best DUI attorney in Illinois

Mr.McNerney took my case to trial and bet both counts of DUI for me. Extremely professional, punctual, hard working. I didn’t shop around because he was referred to me by another happy customer but also believe he charged significantly less than any other attorney would have charged me. I couldn’t... be happier and would refer him with my eyes closed.

Posted by Drew | November 05, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Very helpful & infomative

I hired Michael at the last minute and he was very responsive, informative, knew the prosecutor & judge and was able to arrange for a reduction in the charges. I am very grateful to Michael for all his hard work and efforts on my behalf.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
