Fantastic Agressive Lawyer

Mark did a great job on a battery case for me. It was a complex case that Mark navigated flawlessly. He was extremely aggressive, proactive, and his communication with me throughout the process was extremely timely and thorough. The outcome was fantastic and I couldn't have been happier with his p...erformance and or service. Mark is a great lawyer that I would recommend to anyone. I owe a great deal to Mark for getting the matter resolved without effecting my record and while being mindful of my monetary concerns. Great Lawyer!

A life-changing (or enabling) virtuoso.

To be concise, we had a terrible misfortune to deal with while still living in Chicago and could not find the help within our financial range to defend us with the prowess we felt we deserved. Researching everyone in the book, we never considered Sutter because of his high profile, but once urged ser...endipitously by a mutual party, we met with Mark. What a SIGH OF RELIEF. He worked within our capability to reciprocate him, and literally got a vastly exponential defense service and lasting friendship from one of the most understanding, intelligent, and tenacious human beings we've ever met. His perseverance and unwillingness to settle for less than victory allowed us to walk away as unscathed as possible. To be clear, he defended us against the State of Illinois in a bodily harm, false accusation case, which the state does not take lightly. Mark, who previously worked as a prosecutor for the state (nine years?), knew the ins and outs, and we trusted him every step of the way. It took a while because of court logistics, but Mark never wavered. In the end, life is grand! Yes, life will throw you curve balls -- pull the carpet from underneath you -- but a blessing is being able to stand your ground with the aid of such expertise. Honestly, in a world of more and more law students over saturating the market, if there was anyone to ever aspire to, watch and learn. For an understanding of freedom, read esoterist Rudolf Steiner’s "The Philosophy of Freedom"... or just hire Mark Sutter.

Workmans Comp

I called Mr. Sutter on a workman's compensation issues. We spoke for approximately 30 minutes and he was very informative and honest. He knew his facts and was very confident regarding all of the details. He spoke to the agency and everything was taken care of prior to going to court. Great Job.

We trusted our son's life to Mark Sutter

A few years ago my 20 year old son was charged with a Class X felony and was looking at serving major time. I had my son retain Mark Sutter based on prior relationship and recommendations. Mark was truly amazing, this was a very complex case with multiple hearings and appeals. The prosecuting at...torneys were initially focused on racking up an "easy win" with a slam dunk confession and were going to "do us a favor" by offering 12 years under a class X felony, which would have destroyed our son's life. Well, they didn't factor in Mark's determination to achieve a better outcome for my son, and it turned out the win wasn't so easy. Throughout the process, Mark never gave up, never gave an inch, kept fighting, and was totally focused on achieving an outcome that would enable my son to continue his life. After almost two years of very hard work and Mark leveraging all of his prior contacts when he was a prosecutor, it paid off, Mark was able to negotiate boot camp for my son. Which is unheard of for a Class X felony. We made the right choice to trust our son's life to Mark - and highly recommend him. Mark has the deep experience, relationships, and most of all the heart to make sure you get the right and fair outcome. Note; Today my son is straight, and graduating from a university with several good job offers.
