On top of his game for criminal misdemeanors

I was referred to Attorney Drew Harwick by a man I know. Attorney Harwick was knowledgeable, kept me completely informed, was on time, professional, very affordable, always polite, willing to take the time to explain all issues, demeanor in court very good. The case involved a misdemeanor of a type ...I did not want on my record. Attorney Harwick had the original charge modified to a charge of less concern to me. Thanks Attorney Drew Harwick

This case was in Illinois. It was not in Cook County. It did not involve dui or driving in any way. Other misdemeanors, and possibly class 4 felonies, Drew Harwick attorney does is battery, assault, criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, sexual crimes. Also, agreed divorces, small contested divorces, name change, auto accident defense, some landlord tenant, some foreclosure defense. Affordable, cheap attorney (charges per court appearance, flat fee. Will still have in person consultation these days

did a great job on my dui

I hired Attorney Harwick for a dui in Chicagoland. He got my drivers license back right away at a hearing. In another hearing, he had my dui thrown out. All charges dismissed and I never had to go to trial!! He is affordable, competent, on time, articulate and professional. Thanks!!

Here, the client got his license back right away after a hearing. Then, a technical motion to have the case thrown out. That motion was won. The Defendant never had to go to trial. Dui was dismissed, case won. This occurred in February, 2020 Not only am I affordable, but my fees can actually be called "cheap"

A Go to Attorney

Attorney Drew Harwick handled my case with the upmost resect, gave me options on how to go about my case, and also has a great mind with the justice system. He also did everything in his power to see that the case went our way and most of all he is very affordable.

Thank You. On many dui cases my office handles, the client gets his or her drivers license back right away. Also, on many of the dui cases, the client is found not guilty. Attorney Drew Harwick will gladly show you written proof of dui victories, getting the whole case thrown out and the client keeping his or her driver's license. Attorney Harwick wins dui cases thru trials and/or thru technical motions.

great attorney

Attorney Harwick is a very good lawyer, he is very reliable and very trustworthy. he always kept me informed and on top of my case. His prices are very reasonable and he's not trying to get over on you. I would highly recommend him.

Thank You. This was a dui case. Often, on these types of cases, my office will save the client's driver's license from being suspended. Also, my office will often get the charges reduced to reckless driving, sometimes without having to take any classes. Sometimes, when the charges are reduced to a lower charge, the fine will be lower.

Family Practice

Mr. Drew Harwick was as I discovered a straightforward, down-to-earth type of guy who doesn't beat around the bush. Yet at the same time he was sensitive enough to communicate in a clear and concise manner. He was very professional and didn't mind explaining things more than once if I didn't compre...hend. He walked me through every aspect of my case doing all of the paperwork, explaining it every step of the way while maintaining constant contact with the courts. Most importantly he is effective. I would recommend him without hesitation.
