Moving Traffic Violation

I had often heard the statement " A good Lawyer knows the law, a Great Lawyer knows the Judges" and thought such reffered to playing Golf or Country Clubbing together. Drew Hardwick insisted we show up at the courthouse versus zooming in with our individual screens as the State suggested. Long sto...ry short: Mr. Hardwick knew that our presence and his advocacy would bounce in a certain direction and it did. Judge dismissed the case. There is no doubt in my mind had I been alone at home zooming into the proceedings, as suggested, the State would have pushed the matter into a continuance versus the ordered dismissal Mr. Hardwick secured for me. MR. HARWICK IS NOT MERELY GOOD LAWYER BUT A GREAT LAWYER! He knew how the court would proceed.

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"

Dropped

Drew made sure that he was there each step of the way. If he couldn't be there because of a case conflict he made sure to have someone there on time. He fought a strong case and made sure to not take no for an answer. For the price he charges, you will NOT be disappointed. Every charge DROPPED!

This was a dui case in Chicagoland. Thru assertiveness, my good reputation in the court system among other attorneys, and attention to detail, all charges were dropped on the day of trial, and the client got off on a dui scott free!! Note: As the client's name is not mentioned, and Attorney Harwick practices in over six counties in Chicagoland, this comment should be non-specific enough to fall within the Illinois rules of ethics.

Thank you!

Drew Harwick helped me out with my reckless driving case for under $1,000. He was very easy to talk to, has explained all of my options clearly and did an amazing job representing me in court. Affordable, great lawyer. Thank you!

yes, I am an affordable experienced attorney. For example, sometimes, for a dui or criminal misdemeanor, I will charge just $250 for the first court appearance. For the second court appearance, it may be just $250.00, also. Then, for the third court appearance, the fee always drops to $180.00 (Assuming there is a third court appearance. Please note there is no extra charge for technical motions or trials. I charge the above flat fees. Sometimes, I will charge $300.00 to start, or $350.00 to start, or even a little higher. It depends on how busy my business is at the time as well as other factors. In this case, it was a dui and it was reduced to a reckless driving. The judge complimented me for good work. Please note, that as the name of the person who wrote this review is not mentioned, and as I work in over six counties, it should be acceptable under the Illinois rules of ethics to state what is stated in this comment
