Marc Andrew Bangser

I had hired Bennett & Bangser to represent me for a divorce that I wanted from my wife. I had met with Brad Bennett and had told him this divorce is not going to be easy. I described to him what a cunning, spiteful wife I have and she is not going to make it easy on me at all. I had moved out 8/22/1...5 filed for divorce 10/22/15. From the time I filed for divorce to 11/16/15 my wife was withholding me from seeing my children ages 3 & 4. Mr. Bennett filed an emergency petition for visitations and court was set on the 16th. The judge had told me if I wanted to see my kids I should do so. I left court with some reassurance knowing that I was not wrong in this matter. I went to my mother in laws where the kids were at as my wife was working. I was invited in by her and a heated discussion broke out pertaining to the divorce and tried leaving with the kids. She had tried stopping me from leaving by hurting my daughter in the process and I had grabbed her to remove her hand. Five days later my mother in law filed an emergency order of protection and pressed domestic battery charges against me. The emergency was denied right away but was set for a hearing on 12/15/15. I thought my life was in shabbles at this point, not knowing what to do or who to hire with a pending criminal charge. Brad had said his law partner Marc handles criminal defense and he said is really good. I had went with my gut feeling and couldn't of been happier of the outcome so far. I had met with Marc and Brad the week before December 15 at their Naperville location to discuss this OP hearing. I went to court on the 15th for the order of protection and my mother in law had tried to convince the judge why she needed it. Marc had questioned her in such a way she couldn't see straight let alone answer questions. Marc truly does have a way with words and knows how to say it. I feel when I see him speak or question someone on the other side it's like I'm watching a tv show such as "law & order." The judge had once again denied the order of protection but only after my mother in law stating she had a warrant for my arrest from the states attorney. After I was brought to jail, just coming from the hearing I thought my life was over. At this point, after seeing Marc in action for this OP, I knew I wanted him to represent me for the domestic battery trial. The trial was set for 4/12/16 and went for three days. Marc had once again prepped me for trial the week before at his office and had an uneasy feeling of the potential outcome of the trial. Brad and Marc did an excellent job selecting the jurors that heard the trial. The state had tried to paint this terrible picture of me in the jurors eyes but Marc had fired back depicting a totally different and true story. I know I was not guilty of this crime but definitely needed a great lawyer to prove it. I was found not guilty on both counts of domestic battery. Bennett and Bangser did just that. I put all my trust in this law firm and respect their advice. Words can not express what they have done so far.

Marc Bangser is the guy you want on your side. I consulted with several attorneys before making a decision on who to hire, and not only was Marc the fastest to respond, but he kept that responsiveness and was by far the most straightforward and thorough in his research of my case. Oh, and not only th...at, he charged a very reasonable fee and got the whole thing done in the exact time frame he anticipated. Talk about an amazing value! Marc clearly laid out two scenarios of what could happen, and followed up after speaking with the state and knew exactly what to expect when we got to court, and he took care of business for me. Speaking of court, I couldn’t believe the respect that Marc gets from his peers. It seemed like all the other lawyers and everyone working for the state knows and likes him. Like I said, good guy to have on your side! Going to court is not a pleasant experience, but boy did Marc make it as smooth and pain-free as possible! I hope to never need a criminal defense lawyer again, but if I do, Marc Bangser will be the only call I make and you should do the same. Worth noting, I found out speaking with him after court that Marc and his firm do all aspects of family law like divorce, child custody, child support as well as traffic cases. While I didn't work with him for any of those types of cases, I have no doubt he'd be the absolute right person to represent you if you need a lawyer for anything along those lines.

Last month, I found myself in a bit of trouble. It was my first, only, and last time that I found myself on the wrong side of the law. I was scared to death, and didn't know what to do. I googled for hours trying to find someone who could help me. After reading the reviews on Marc, I decided to give ...him a call. Marc was so patient and understanding with me while I was a mess. I was anxious to consult with him and since I was going out of town, we didn't have much time to meet in person. Marc agreed to a Skype consultation and walked me through every scenario and every castle I had built up in my mind. Long story short, within 5 weeks of the day I first called Marc, my case was resolved with the best possible outcome. Throughout everything, Marc was always available, consistent, reassuring, and thorough. While I hope to never need his services again, I wouldn't imagine calling anyone else if I did. Marc, I cannot thank you enough.

I consulted Marc to represent me for a criminal case for reckless conduct out of Lake County in March of 2015 . He was a great asset to my case, and the maintaining of my freedom based on my past offenses and the fact that I nearly ran over a couple of public safety officers. At first I was a little ...worried of the possible outcomes but through speaking with him and having him by my side in the court room I soon found out just how great he is . He was able to get me released with very minimal community service and conditional discharge, considering my past offenses this was amazing for me. I was able to keep my job and move forward . Marc is well known throughout the courthouse which is a great thing depending on what offense you may or may not have committed and also worked with the states attorney's office for about 8 years . Marc definitely has a great work oriented attitude and was more then kind at the same time. He was assertive , professional ,honest and even more importantly aggressive in the courtroom in order to get the best results for his client(s) (me at the time) . I would definitely recommend him as a lawyer to any of you out there if you are in any hardships and are seeking legal representation whether criminal or family oriented . Marc is a great guy and I am glad I chose him to represent me ! Check him out

Marc Bangser assisted me with an arrest case. He was very helpful and able to work with me as I was away at school as a college student. After his persistence I ended up with a dismissal (the best possible outcome!) even after we had spoken about how that might not be a possibility. Great guy too! ...Gets stuff done!
