My son's case was indeed a complicated one since we live in NYS and he was visiting friends in Chicago where he was arrested for his one and only DUI. The year was 2002 & the judge allowed him to complete his hours of out-patient rehab in NY. When that was completed, my son mailed in his paperwork t...o the attorney that he hired at the time of his arrest (through the Chicago Yellow Pages) and that 'lawyer' (who will remain nameless) never delivered the documents to the court so the judge issued a warrant for my son's arrest. Unfortunately, my son was never informed of this so he spend the last 12 years believing that the case in Chicago was closed and all is well. Unfortunately that was not the reality. After a 2014 job interviewed for a Civil Service position in NYC, my son was rejected because a background check showed a warrant in Chicago & the case was not closed at all! I started doing some serious research from NY to locate a top attorney in Chicago & I discovered Martin Lascola. This man is truly a blessing and took care of everything. He immediately had the warrant removed from his record and my son did not need to travel to Chicago to appear in court. He did need to complete additional out-patient sessions since the original paperwork was never located. As of today, my son's case is truly closed! He can move forward with his new job and we have truly a happy ending. We could not have done it without Martin! It is a pleasure & an honor to recommend Martin...he will get the job done!

I hired martin about a month ago to represent me for my DUI case. I provoked a car accident (Only Property damage) on the expressway plus failed all field sobriety tests conducted by Illinois state police, which were equipped With video and audio. I was a first offender with no previous criminal reco...rds and a clean driving record. Martin clearly explained everything with detail and kept constant communication through phone calls, text messages, and e-mails. I also refused the breatholizer test. Martin quickly submitted the petition to rescind my suspension. Martin managed to come to an agreement with the court for them to rescind my suspension if I agreed to plead guilty to the DUI and placed on a 1 year court supervision. In conclusion, I got my license back on my first court date and I am now able to drive and not loose my job because a valid license was required for my job. I am forever grateful because it is a rare occasion for the court to remove your suspension right away and avoiding trial. Martin used all his tactics and got me the best possible outcome I could have asked for. Without any hesitation, I would truly recommend Martin if you would ever get arrested for a DUI.

Martin was a God send and I HIGHLY recommend him! He was able to reduce my speeding ticket from a misdemeanor to a lesser charge, saving me a great deal on the ticket cost. As the case was closed, I now am not required to take another long distance trip to Chicago, nor will I incur additional legal... expenses! When I did an internet search for Chicago attorneys, I didn't find Martin at first and chose someone else. A few days later, my husband said "why don't you do another search, just to be sure." I did and Martin's name popped out at me and reviews of him were impressive! When I called his office, the receptionist gave me his cell phone # (that was a surprise!); when I called Martin, he promptly answered. During our conversation I was VERY impressed with his approachable manner, clear explanations, awareness and knowledge of cases similar to mine and a precise plan of how to move forward. Would he be as impressive on all these points in the next few weeks, a time when I would REALLY need him? YES, YES and YES! Martin greatly helped to ease the pain and anxiousness I felt for weeks preceding and throughout the courtroom proceedings.

Top lawyer in the community. Extremely strategic to keep clients best interest in mind. Expert in drug, dui, and speeding cases. He is able to file a petition to rescind the driving suspension from a dui and is successful because he does his work fast. Martin also pushed out the initial court date fo...r a speeding ticket so that it went straight to trial. The cop did not show up for the pushed out trial date and the case was dismissed.
