The Best!

I thought my whole life was over after I got stopped for a DUI. I was super depressed because I was already charged with one but, getting DUI number 2; I just felt like a bum and on top of that I couldn't drive for a year and a half. I remember a while ago I was accused of shop lifting and I hired Dominick and won the case. I thought maybe I'll use him again for my 2nd DUI cace. I hired him and been going to court for almost 2 years now. As of today 12/04/2015 11am we beat the DUI case and was not charged with anything! Mr. Dolci really knows how to find the loop holes and talk his way out of anything!

Wonderful lawyer!!!!

I was arrested for DUI and had no clue about the criminal justice system. I was given Dominick Dolci's name by a friend. I checked his reviews and was impressed so I made an appointment to see him personally. Upon arriving, their office looked straight out of Law & Order. I was greeted by two attractive young women who directed me to a comfortable leather chair and offered me a bottle of water while I waited. Shortly, Dominick and his partner, Pat, directed me back to an impressive office. They immediately calmed me down. They answered every conceivable question, including ones I hadn't even thought of yet. They gave me comfort and reassurance. I left with 100% confidence in their abilities to handle my case. At court, everything was smooth as glass. My suspension was thrown out and, in the end, they beat my case at trial. I now recommend Dolci & Weiland to all of my friends. I am very happy and very satisfied!!

Highly recommended!!

Dom and Pat came highly recommended and they did not disappoint. They are a team. Pat seems calm and unflappable and Dominick was the big personality guy. This approach worked for me. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. The support staff was friendly and professional. Everybody at the firm seemed to be working on my case and knew what was going on every time I had any questions. They made me feel like I was more than just a file and that they actually cared about me as a person. Great result, great guys. Thanks!

Best lawyer evef!

Dom and Pat are two of the finest men I've ever met. I received two duis and my life was a disaster. They showed me caring and compassion and genuinely seemed to care about me as a person. They managed to resolve my legal problems and helped me to get sober and get my life back on track. I will forever be grateful to these two guys. They are an awesome team and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer. Smart, funny and professional. When I was at a low point and couldn't imagine my life getting better,these guys were there for me.

Highly recommended

Dom helped me out when I had 3 cases in 3 counties. I was overwhelmed and very concerned. Dom won one case at trial and got the other 2 felonies reduced to misdemeanors. I am forever grateful to this man.

Great lawyer

I hired mr Dolci to represent me for a felony drug charge. He won my case by filing a motion to prove the cops didn't have probable cause to search my car. He made the cop look like a liar. It was great! The case was over in two months and I walked out a free man. We hadn't even payed our full fee to him. He offered to waive the balance of his money. I payed it anyway. This is the guy I want in my "favorites". Awesome dude. Also, he's funny as hell.

Extremely competent lawyer who is there for you

Dominick Dolci was extremely professional. He walked me through the justice system and explained everything to me in depth so that I could understand what was going on and what would happen next. I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone who's serious about getting their life back.

I feel Human Again...

So like all the reviews before mine, I had an exceptional experience with Dominick Dolci. As someone else mentioned, it was kind-of like an episode out of Law and Order. I got a DUI and was completely overwhelmed. I went from feeling like a respectable citizen to feeling like scum of the earth. I worked with another lawyer originally, who just told me to "get over it". I couldn't. As anyone in this situation knows, the day after you get arrested for something, your mailbox gets bombarded by law firms soliciting their services. Dolci and Weiland stood out however because, more than a decade ago, one of my many kids got into some trouble and we had used their services and got the case resolved nicely. So, frustrated with my situation, I sought a second opinion from them. The difference between them and other lawyers I had talked to was huge. I went from feeling completely lost to having a sense of what to expect and how the process works. Ultimately, my DUI was dismissed, but even if it hadn't, I can't imagine anyone fighting harder or smarter than Mr. Dolci did in court. Obviously, I am overjoyed that the case was resolved the way it was, but even if we hadn't won, I would have accepted the outcome and learned to "get over it" somehow, because I'm not sure I would have had a better fighting chance with anyone else.

Great lawyer

I was afraid and feeling overwhelmed after getting arrested for a DUI. I had a friend who is an Oak brook police officer who said if he was arrested he would only call one guy, Dominick Dolci. Glad I did! The case took about eight months to resolve itself and we ended it with a trial and a finding of not guilty. Dolci talked the talk and walked the walk. Highly recommended!

Surpassed all of my expectations!

Let me start by saying that my past experience with the criminal justice system has been all but favorable, but this was the exception. I've had minor run ins with the law, (traffic only) but all have been disastrous. Being a minority, I believe that we are disproportionately placed in the criminal justice system and without access to proper legal counsel, we suffer as a result. I was recently charged with a DUI and subsequently represented by Mr. Dolci, he won my summary suspension and expects that we'll fair well in trial. I am totally confident in his abilities and at ease with the process. I would recommend his services to anyone!

Best Attorney Ever

Every step of the way Dominick and his associates kept me informed of the status of my case and the expected resolution. They asked me to trust them and I am so glad that I did. The case could have gone either way and without Dominick's forceful cross examination, and his relentless pounding on facts in my favor, I don't think the results would have been the same.

Dolci and Weiland

The law firm of Dolci And Weiland were amazing when it came to my D.U.I. Everything they promised me when I first met with them after my arrest they backed up with flying colors. My license was never suspended and all the cost were as fair as you can get. They also made make you feel comfortable in a situation that is very unsettling. While I hope no one else I know gets a D.U.I if they do I would send them straight to Dominick Dolci.

Great lawyer!

I didn't know where to start when I was arrested for dui. I asked a friend who was a policeman who he would hire if he was arrested for a dui. He recommended dominick dolci. All I can say is I wasn't disappointed with the recommendation ! Dolci, and his partner Patrick , did a great job. I immediately felt much calmer as soon as I met them. They seemed knowledgeable and obviously knew all the people involved in prosecuting me. During my first meeting with them they explained what obstacles I was facing and layed out exactly what strategy they would use to defend me. Amazingly, everything turned out exactly as they said it would. I was most concerned about losing my drivers license for a year. On the first court date we had a hearing. Dolci chewed up the cop who arrested me and made him look like a complete liar. It was awesome! After a few months we had a trial and dolci did his magic in the courtroom again. I loved it! I walked out being found not guilty. The judge did find me guilty of the improper lane usage ticket I received with my dui but that seemed a small price to pay all things considered. Even then, dolci argued I should get court supervision for that and the judge agreed. I was very satisfied with the representation I received and highly recommend these lawyers. Maybe a little higher priced than some other lawyers, but definitely a case of "you get what you pay for".

I highly recommend using Dolci and Weiland for any future lawyer needs!!
