All my reviews on dui are positive. I have over 20 reviews on dui. On this avvo site, please read the dui reviews.

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".

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...

Great service
I loved the fact that Drew was straight to the fact and didn't make any false promises. He let me know exactly what I was facing and what he could do to help me.
On this case in Chicagoland, the Defendant was charged with driving on a revoked license. Often that is not that serious, but in this case it was more serious because it was revoked because of a Dui. Nonetheless, the Defendant got no jail time, got independent community service (which is a lot better than swap) and a small fine. Please note that, depending on the case, a motion to suppress based on no grounds to stop is appropriate. That type of motion can get the whole case thrown out if you win, and if you lose, there is no penalty. Attorney Drew Harwick has written proof of winning those types of motions in all six counties that he practices in (Will, Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane and Mchenry Counties. Note: There is no extra charge for preparing these types of motion. There is also no extra charge for having this type of motion heard before a judge. Note: As the clients name is not mentioned, and as Attorney Drew Harwick works in over six counties, this comment should be vague enough to fall withing the ethics standards of Illinois
