Best Lawyer Ever

I've used them 2 times, both times I was extremely pleased with my outcome. Mr. Hirsch is very professional and informative of your situation and circumstances, as well as the potential outcomes. One time one of his associates represented me, and another he personally did. I would definitely call if ...I need a lawyer in the future.

Resolved a traffic issue in 30 minutes - very impressive!

I called Mr. Hirsch early in the morning, and he answered the phone immediately even though he was still at home with his family. This was a cold call; he did not know me at all, but he immediately started taking notes as I explained that I'd been named as a defendant in a traffic case in Kane county..., without my knowledge, and had already missed the court date because I had received neither a ticket nor a summons. He took my payment information and then called me back in about thirty minutes: He'd been able to establish that my case had already been reviewed and I'd been cleared, and he charged me only a nominal fee. It was a huge relief to me, and I will call Mr. Hirsch and his colleagues again any time I have any kind of legal issue.

Best in the field

I consulted Mr. Hirsch regarding a landlord issue I had involving pest control and safety codes in my building. Once I presented my reckless landlord with the information Mr. Hirsch supplied, he folded like a cheap suit. If I ever need to retain an attorney for any reason, Mr. Hirsch is the ON...LY one I will be calling. I would advise anyone reading this to do the same.

Great Attorney

One of the attorneys represented my son at court for a class B misdeameanor ticket. I as a parent was really nervous because I didn’t know what expect. I called Gordon and all my fears were put to bed. The attorney showed up and also took my son aside after court to talk to him about the seriousness ...of his ticket. I have to say that my son learned his lesson. The attorney was great and we would definitely recommend him. Thanks Gordon!

Traffic Ticket for Out of State Driver

Gordon and his team of attorneys are extremely professional and well versed in the laws governing the state of Illinois and specifically in my case, the City of Chicago. I received a speeding ticket on the Chicago Skyway and the ticket required me to appear in person and have legal representation. ...I recieved a letter in the mail from Gordon's firm offering to help. It was as simple as a phone call and a PayPal payment and I hired Gordon's firm, a lawyer met me at the courthouse and helped me to resolve it completely in just a matter of minutes. It was extremely easy and having someone from his team present gave me piece of mind that it was resolved in the proper way. Thank you!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"14 years of practicing law is very experienced. He has a huge advantage over many defense attorneys having been a former prosecutor. "They know that he knows what they know". His knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions. His numerous client reviews are stellar and the best compliment than an attorney can receive. READ THEM! Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation. If your lucky he might just agree to represent you."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
