Easy Going Lawyer

John was a down to earth easy to talk to lawyer. Hired him after talking to several others about my case. He explained the process as it went along and what I needed to do. Would highly recommend to a person in need.

Knowledgeable, Understanding

I used John for consultation via phone. In my experience no lawyer has ever taken so much of his time to communicate regarding my concerns. He is exceptional in his knowledge and above that in his understanding. I can just imagine how he would handle a case with expert care and results. Highly re...commend.

I strongly recommend John Kopp

John Kopp is a fantastic lawyer I strongly recommend him as a defense attorney. If I ever find myself in a situation and need an attorney he's it. I was in a ruff spot after my plea of guilty on a DUI case, and my original lawyer that was recommended to me by a friend did not go to bat for me. He we...nt into court and asked for way more than he should've, most of those I couldn't began to attempt to complete. So I searched a few months and found John and he got it converted/ changed to something I can totally complete. I wish I would've found him first I'd be in a completely different situation. If you want a lawyer that's clear, upfront and is focused on you I strongly recommend John Kopp.

Sealed the records

One of the best lawyers I have interaction with. Had hired him to seal my records. The day I submitted him the papers and he processed it within two days. He is very helpful and will always give you the best advice.

Amazing experience

Mr. Kopp helped us out tremendously with our speeding ticket. Going into the situation I and my family were a bit nervous. After contacting Mr. Kopp and speaking with him about the situation I felt much more at ease. He was able to move up the court date to a reasonable time slot and bartered on my h...alf to reduce the ticket as much as possible. Overall the experience turned out the best way I could have hoped for and I would definitely Reccomend Mr. Kopp to anyone having a similiar problem as I did.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 19

Relationship: Friend

"John and I have been friends for over ten years, through college and law school, and eventually worked together as clerks at a litigation firm for a time. He is an extremely intelligent and clever attorney, but beyond that he is a concerned advocate for clients. Prior to founding his own practice, John worked as a prosecutor with the Cook County State's Attorney Office, and because of this he is very knowledgeable about the intricacies involved in defending criminal cases. I have already referred cases to John, and each client has subsequently taken special effort to let me know how professional and thorough John was throughout their case. The highest compliment I can give any attorney is entrusting them with the legal issues of someone who trusts me. I will continue to bestow this compliment on John with the utmost confidence."
