Charges Dismissed

I hired Mr. O'Donnell for a situation that I got caught up on in November of 2017 that consisted of leaving the scene of an accident to also include being charged with hitting a parked vehicle (officially a stop sign). At the time I was a federal employee so it was crucial that this case was handled... by a professional that knew how this could possibly damage my reputation holding a government clearance. I ended up paying for the damage to the stop sign and the PA dropped the charges. Thanks Mr. O'Donnell for your hard work on resolving my case.

DUI Case - Charges Dropped

I was referred to Michael O'Donnell by a well respected attorney from Chicago. I met with Mike at his office in Wheaton and discussed my options reguarding a DUI Charge I received in DuPage County. After hearing what Mike had to say about my charges and hearing my options my Husband & I felt very con...fident in his ability to represent me for this case that I signed a contract with him that day. Even tho he was only the second attorney I had consulted with. He never made any promises that he knew he couldn't keep. And he was always very up front & honest with me from the first time I met with him up until my last court date. Mike went above and beyond what I expected. He took the time to do his research on specific details of my case. Never once did I doubt or disagree with his approach. Eventually after all toxicology came back we stood firm on the thought that we had a good case. After a few deals were put on the table by the Prosection I felt confident in declining them after talking about them in depth with Mike. We did set a trial date. But before my Trial could even get started Mike was able to get my CHARGES DROPPED with no stipulations. In the time we were waiting on toxicology I never lost my license (not even a single day), had no court costs, never had to get a DUI Evaluation done, nor did I have to complete any Victim Impact Panel or Drug/Alcohol counseling through the state. Mike is great at what he does. If your looking for an up front, honest, no BS attorney then Mike is a great choice. We were EXTREMELY SATISFIED with Mike's services & the outcome of my DUI case. He always responded to my phone calls and/or emails in a very reasonable amount of time. Usually his response was the same day or first thing in the morning the following day. Mike's rates are very reasonable especially given how much experience he has practicing law & his extensive knowledge of the laws. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND Michael O'Donnell to anyone in need of legal counsel.
