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.

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

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.

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

Great Lawyer

Mr. Harwick handled my divorce in cook county. He’s was very knowledgeable in regards to taking the appropriate steps to make my dissolution happen flawlessly, not only that but he was on top of every detail regarding my case

Thanks Roberto. I, Drew Harwick, attorney, am affordable (cheap). I have done hundreds and hundreds of agreed divorces, uncontested divorces, mildly contested divorces, in cook county, chicago, dupage county, lake county, kane county, mchenry county, will county. joliet, elgin, waukegan, rolling meadows. I have been before certain judges for 10 years, for example, on these matters. Then, said judge may retire. Then, a new judge. It is enjoyable work!!!
