Outstanding Attorney

The night I was stopped for a DUI was the worst night of my life. I was literally in a state of shock and honestly I didn't even know how to begin to find a lawyer to represent me. I was charged on a Saturday night so I started searching on line for a lawyer located in Will County that could represen...t me. I called a few lawyers on Sunday and Jack was one of them. He was the only one that called me back on Sunday night. We set up an appointment for the next day and after meeting him I knew he was the man to represent me. During the whole process Jack kept me informed on everything as it played out. He never hesitated to answer any of my questions and he always returned my phone calls. In court is where he really shined. He was sharp, witty and quick with his answers. You could clearly tell he knew the laws for DUI better than everyone in the courtroom, even the judge. To make a long story short he was able to completely get me off from the DUI charge and immediately get my license back. He is now helping me to get the stop expunged from my driving record. I couldn't thank him enough. He did an outstanding job for me and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer. You won't be disappointed.

Reversed DUI!

Mr. Zaremba, was excellent! Not only did he get my charges dropped for an alleged DUI stop, he assisted with my traffic citations in which I received the minimum penalty. He is extremely knowledgable in the court room covering worst case scenario first and fighting to get the best outcome for his cl...ient. In my opinion, he's went above and beyond to get positive results in my case and because of his rapid response/knowledge, my license was return and I avoided a suspension. I HIGHLY recommend him! Thanks Jack!

Jack is here for you.

Jack was extremely knowledgable and helpful. He kept me at ease and remained proffesional throughout my case. His office replies to calls in a timely manner and kept me informed during every step of my case. Being a past prosecutor, he had invaluable knowledge of every aspect of my case and was able ...to navigate the system with ease. I would Highly recommend Jack for your defense/

DUI READ THIS 1ST!!!! Best Lawyer'ering YET!!

My Drivers License was REVOLKED due to a 2nd DUI (refused to blow). Jack walked me through the process to get DL Re-instatement. THIS GUY IS AMAZING!! I received FULL driving privileges WITHOUT having to get a permit or having to install a car breathalyzer. The only requirements are a Re-instateme...nt Fee & SR22. If you have had a licensed suspended or revolked JACK ZAREMBA is the ONLY choice for your legal needs. THANK YOU JACK!!

All Charges Dropped

When I got my DUI, I was shocked. I did not know who to turn to. I made several phone calls to lawyers that Monday morning. Jack was the first to get back to me, and I am very grateful for that. Jack was eager to look at my case and wanted to meet quickly. Once I met Jack, I knew I had the right... guy. He was professional and very familiar with cases like mine. Once in court, Jack really showed his talent. I would see other lawyers speaking for their clients and all I would think is that I am glad I hired Jack. In the end, all charges were dropped. I can't tell you how lucky I am to have stumbled upon Jack's name on the web. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
