Professional

I contacted Mr Harwick as he was available near my home by Woodfield. I explained my situation and was glad to help. He tells a good joke and passionate about his profession. When it was time for the court visit he got down to business and resolved the issues . I would recommend to friends and family... . Affordable too

Professional, communicated and got the job done!

Drew was able to work on my case and resolve it, even during this pandemic. Drew kept in constant communication throughout the process and ensured I was aware of what was happening during each step and was able to get my case resolved with no further action or fines.

Thanks. This case involved a criminal misdemeanor in the area of driving on a suspended revoked license. This case could have been filed as a class four felony. The punishment at a minimum was a mandatory 30 days in jail. I, Drew Harwick, Attorney, got this client off scott free on a technical motion. Said motion was not the "no probable cause to stop, no probable cause to arrest" type. Rather, this motion involved a request for document at the time of a hearing, said request being under civil law being applied to criminal hearings in the last few decades. in presenting said motion, there was: Just "a two minute presentation over zoom", case dismissed permanently. This case occurred within the last three months

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.

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.
