Amazing lawyer

Very professional and outstanding lawyer. He was recommended by people who were happy with the work John did with their cases. I highly recommend him for the amazing the amazing job he did for my family.

He is just Awesome!

I was in dire need of a great defense lawyer and decided to retain John. I am extremely glad I made this decision. Throughout the entire process he explained everything clearly and offered great advice. I didn't feel pushed to make any decisions I didn't want too. Mr. Kopp made sure to answer all que...stions regarding my case. He communicated really well and got back to me in a timely manner. I decided to take my case to trial. During trial he was relentless against the prosecution. John's experience and knowledge of law resulted in a "Not Guilty" verdict. You will not be disappointed with him or the work he puts in.

Great representation!!!

John is a great guy. He's very personable and straight to the point. I was pulled over for improper lane usage and was arrested for DUI. John listened carefully to everything I said and after watching the video from the police department, told me I had a strong case in winning the DUI. My case was ...continued about 4 times and each time, he was there with me to represent me and actually ended up winning the case. I put my trust in him and he delivered. I would HIGHLY recommend him as your representation. He has great rapport with prosecuting attorneys and judges and is very knowledgeable when it comes to the law.

Best lawyer

I had a speeding ticket in chicago but i live some where else so i tried looking for lawyers ... i contcted john and he replied quickly and professionaly and he explains every thing clearly before hand. And he got me a supervision and less fines with no points. Thanks to him my safe driving record wa...s not destroyed by one silly mistake... he is the best would recomend him to friends and family

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.

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."
