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".

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...
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.
