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.

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!

Great respresentation

I received a nasty Class B misdemeanor speeding ticket and got a letter in the mail from Hirsch Law group offering their services. I was totally unfamiliar with the process and met Gordon at his downtown office for an initial face to face. He was punctual and professional and I retained his service...s. We communicated multiple times via email both with Mr. Hirsch and members of his team up to the court date. His representative arrived on time and got the fine reduced to a "Petty" with a small fine. Paying the fine however was horrific as all the systems went down by coincidence of course when I had to pay. Gordon again offered to have his team take care of the payment process for me so I didn't have to make another trip to this dreadful building. Thanks Gordon, high recommend.

He is the best.. !!!!

Long story short , I have a CDL( Commercial Driver License) I was doing 90 mph in a 45 mph zone in my car not in a semi truck. The officer told me that doing 35 mph over the speed limit is a misdemeanor class b and that I could do some jail time. 1 week later I received a letter from Mr Hirsch he w...anted to fix my problem. The bottom of the letter say " Just give me a call and I'll handle the rest" and actually that's what happened he took care of everything and was done with only 1 court. Also my record is clean, I went to secretary of state to get a driving record and guess what NOTHING appear in my record.. so if you're having the same problem don't doubt to give him a call.

"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.
