Role Model

Hands down the best attorney in State! He helped me with a felony case not to long ago and he got it reduced with minimal casualties but bottom line he is very knowledgeable with what he is doing. I've been in meetings with him when other also well known attorneys ask him for advice. He is always res...ponsible and always is looking out for ALL of his clients. All around great charismatic professional with a career he was blessed to shine at.

"King of the Court"

Recently, I went to court over a dui charge and last week was actually the final set date. And it was set for trial on four counts (two of which were petty offensive , one the dui ,and the other a reckless driving). I was a nervous wreck over what had occurred over the last week and I was just hoping... I would at least walk away with my head held high. Long story short, I walked in and walked out 4 hours later not guilty on any counts. Basically a smack on the wrist. Little did I know, Mr. Fioti did his homework and there was not a single ounce of fight he let up. He enforced all the of huge details and exposed all of the flaws throughout the trial. Out standing work to say the least. This man to be completely honest has saved my bad decisions and has changed my mind set on my attitudes and outlook on life. Always kept me informed of anything new and things we needed to do about the case. Amazing lawyer! Highly recommend Mr. Fioti for any Dui or criminal cases. He will not dissapoint. He doesn't like to lose.

Best Attorney around

A few months ago, I found myself in an unfortunate situation in which I was involved in both a criminal and civil case. I was referred to John Fioti by friend. After meeting with John, I had full confidence that he was the guy for the job. Throughout various meetings and court appearances it was c...lear John was a first class attorney. Simply put, John is a fighter and he treats his clients like family. We fought both my criminal and civil cases which resulted in the criminal matter being completely tossed out and the civil matter settled out of court in a much more favorable outcome than I ever expected. I have been told John is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the Chicagoland area and I could not agree more. I would be more than happy to refer anyone who needed legal help to John and look forward to doing so in the future. -Dan

Great caring, knowledgable, and experienced attorney!!

A friend referred me to John for my son's DUI. John kept us fully informed and went out of his way to impress upon my son the seriousness of this matter and future consequences. He demonstrated his expert knowledge of the law as well as his experience with the judicial system, and is well-known and... highly regarded among his peers. He successfully fought and negotiated for my son, refusing to accept a conviction. Both my son and I are thankful and grateful to John for his efforts and would not hesitate for an instant to recommend John to anyone.
