They are all four star or five star. I get along well with judges, assistant State's attorneys, and court personnel. That is one of the reasons why none of my clients ever go to jail.
TO MY CLIENTS, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
An exciting recent case was a dui trial out of Chicagoland. The States Attorney was a seasoned veteran. The judge was tough but fair. I assertively cross-examined the police officer, showing weaknesses in his testimony as well as discrepancies in the video which I had viewed in advance. The judge ruled "Not Guilty".

Got charges reduced and thrown out.
Hired drew to handle 3 separate traffic cases. He got one case reduced due to missing video tape footage. He got another case thrown out due to no complaining witness. A good deal on the the final case as well. I recommend Drew for all seeking an affordable traffic attorney.
Thank You. The charge was initially dui. I immediately pointed out to the court that the police video tape was missing. I followed that with a technical motion, while pointing out to the supervisory states attorney the issue. So, the dui was reduced to reckless driving. I also made some extra money for the Defendant by clearing up some old bond forfeitures, with the result being a refund of a sum of money to the Defendant.

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

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...
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.

Please note that I have had good results all over the Chicagoland area for dui cases. For example, I enjoy practicing and have good results in Will County, DuPage County, Cook County, McHenry County, Lake County and Kane County. I have good results and enjoy practicing in all six counties. I have won many dui cases at trial, and I have had dui reduced to reckless driving many times.
