I called for a free consultation and he was extremely helpful. He provided me with excellent, sound legal advice that truly helped put my mind at ease and helped my better understand my situation. Would definitely recommend.

Criminal case

Special thanks to Alexander Blum for beating my case! Definitely recommend him to everyone, I was facing criminal charges and Mr, Blum not only got everything dismissed but was affordable for me. If I ever need anyone in the future I know who I can really count on. 100 percent honest, I contacted him... because he beat one of my moms cases a while back! Didn’t let me down thank you once again.

Amazing Lawyer! Got my case dismissed!

Hiring Mr. Blum was honestly the best thing I could have done in my situation. As this was my first time in court ever, I was scared and honestly had zero clue what to do. He was incredible at explaining every step of the process to me clearly and made sure i understood what was going on. He is very ...kind, professional, efficient and overall just a wonderful lawyer. I was very grateful and lucky to have found him.

Got my Chicago tickets dismissed!

I had unjustly gotten several tickets in Illinois. Alexander Blum got my Tickets dismissed. No court costs, no fines, nada. Would use him again for any traffic, or criminal matter. He explained what I needed to do, and it worked well. Thanks!
