Does What he Says..

Sooooo It's been several years since I hired Drew.. I have recently referred someone to him and wanted to write a review for him as well.. He does what he says, handled my DUI in two court dates.. Very, very reasonable price...

Posted by anonymous | September 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Outstanding Service

I was facing two convictions, "Leaving the scene of an accident" & "Failure to aid". Drew was able to get the "Leaving the scene" ticket thrown out and court supervision for the "Failure to aid". I can not thank him enough for helping me not get a conviction on my license. He also has the best fe...es around, very affordable.

Thank you. Please note that, even though my prices are low all along, they drop further after the second court appearance (assuming there are more than two court appearances). Also, there is no extra charge for technical motion hearings or bench trials (trial before a judge), which type of hearings do provide victories (written proof of victories). The advantage of affordable technical motions is that, if you win, the whole case may get thrown out, and if you lose, there is no penalty. Also, I will work with the client so that the client is not afraid to do technical motions or hearings based on high attorney fees. As many clients indicate, I do quality work at an affordable rate.

Mr Harwick shows up everywhere as a fantastic attorney....

I hired Mr. Harwick to represent me for a simple misdemeanor battery charge. After my jury conviction I filed an appeal. Last week the trial judge vacated the jury verdict and granted me my new trial due to Mr. Harwick's ineffective assistance. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one who has a n...egative review of Mr. Harwick's ability to practice law.

I will respond in general statements so as to stay within the Illinois rules of ethics. When I handle small misdemeanor cases such as this, my clients never go to jail. From talking to other Illinois attorneys, what generally happens in situations like what this person alleges happened, is, in these small cases the Defendant will then go on, hire another attorney, and plead guilty. Then, usually the case will be expunged.

Cant go wrong with Mr.Harwick

I got a DUI back in Nov 2018. Mr.Harwick represented me during the case, im glad he was by myside every single step. He managed to get my DUI reduced to a Reckless driving charge, and also managed to get my fine lowered. He's very knowledgeable, up front, always punctual to court, most importantly he... is honest. He will tell you what he can do for you and how to get it, he is not one to "beat around the bush". Overall I would recommend him to all my family and friends.

There are many advantages to reducing a dui to reckless driving. Please contact me for a free phone consult and I would be glad to explain
