Really great lawyer!!

John Kopp helped me with a traffic case it was really nice to know that I was in good hands with a traffic lawyer. He is so throughly I give him allot of credit for that. And he takes the time and even will go over his scope for his clients. I think he’s wonderful, he does follow up personal and wil...l call, so it just says he takes his cases seriously and that’s very good to know that a lawyer will do that to save your drivers license! And he is so serious that he cares also he is priced appropriately I thought maybe little bit under of what he should have but not only that he won’t tell lies and is honest!! Which says so much!

Amazing!

I hired Mr. Kopp to represent my son for a ticket he had received for driving on a suspended license. From the moment John contacted me he put me at ease. His relaxed demeanor and easily understandable explanations really helped. He was available any time via phone or text with any questions I had... -- or just to talk me off the ledge when I was worried about the up-coming case. He was so worth hiring because the ticket was dismissed. We didn't even go into court. I really hope I never have to hire him again, but if I'm ever in need, Kopp Law is my go to firm.

Cdl holder from Wisconsin

Words cannot express the due diligence and short notice of my traffic offense in illinois,ie speeding ticket in a non commercial vechile. With a job and career on the line of 25 years and being from Wisconsin my personal attorney could not take my case. I researched and came across John r Kopp.I want...ed to find a attorney like I have in Wisconsin, not only did I, I also made a friend, he listened to me and made the best deal possible for me. Do your homework in anything as I did looking for a lawyer that listens and goes too bat for you John r kopp will and thanks Jeff from Wisconsin.

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."
