Jeffery John Tomczak

This law group saved me. Long story short I was in a situation to which there was an active warrant for me and jail time and my lawyer at the time basically swore to me that there was nothing to do and that I would most likely have to serve jail time. Panicking i had a shot in the dark to find someon...e that can maybe help so I reached out to tomczak law. They were able to quash my warrant and have all charges dropped. Not to mention the quick responsiveness with them all. Very streamlined process to hire them etc etc. Money well spent.

I regret hiring this guy for a minor criminal matter. He charged a lot of money, didn't do much at all in 18 months (continuance after continuance). In fact, I had to tell him what he needed to do as it was common sense. He acted as if he was still the state's attorney, never felt like he was on my ...side. He gave a good dog and pony show during the initial consultation, called me his "friend" since I had known him for close to 20 years. He put me on an emotional roller coaster for 18 months. I eventually fired him as he would never return my calls, responded to only one of several emails. It was obvious by his response that he didn't even read my email. I hired another attorney who resolved the matter to my satisfaction within about 60 days by using a program that Tomczak never even mentioned to me! There are some positive reviews but I don't trust them, not after my terrible experience. Reviews can be purchased, also posted by friends, family members and employees.

July of 2017 is when my nightmare began. I was arrested and stripped of everything that I had. I was ordered out of my home and could not return. My back was up against a wall and I had nowhere to turn. I was scared, worried and overwhelmed. It was at that darkest moment of my life that Jeff Tomczak... decided to take my case and ensure me he would fight for me. This journey would take the better part of year, filled with twists and turns, ups and downs, highs and lows, but Jeff and his entire staff was there every step of the way. When I was arrested and unable to talk to any family, Jeff and his staff stayed in constant communication with my family informing them of my status and guiding them through a difficult and confusing justice process. Their experience, compassion and understanding brought much needed comfort and confidence to my family in such a difficult and emotional time. As soon as I was able to secure my release from incarceration, I was immediately contacted by Jeff’s staff and asked if I was ok. The very next day I met with Jeff who ensured me he would do everything in his power to fight and defend me. I knew of Jeff’s reputation as the most effective criminal defense attorney in Will County, but I was just getting to understand how he had earned that reputation. I needed my life back and my name cleared, and I thank God that The Jeff Tomczak Law Group was able to do just that for me. Jeff and his staff worked tirelessly on my case, often putting in working hours on their own time to ensure I would have a rigorous defense. To add to the pressure, the case was widely covered in local and Chicago media. No matter what happened during the case, Jeff ensured me I was in good hands. Using his knowledge and experience, Jeff crafted an effective strategy to give me the best possible chance at victory. He answered every question I had, and was able to explain the confusing arduous and robust criminal justice process in a very easy to understand way. As my judgement day neared, I grew ever more confident that Jeff would be able to secure a victory in court. And in the end, that’s exactly what happened. My nightmare ended with a “NOT GUILTY” verdict handed down and my life was given back to me. I can attest, with 100% certainty, that The Jeff Tomczak Law Group is the best choice to make when faced with insurmountable odds like I was. I trusted Jeff and his staff with my life, and that was the best decision I have ever made. I will always be grateful to them.

I hired Jeff Tomczak last year to represent me for DUI case. During my first meeting, Jeff and Robert Bodach convince me that I have a solid case and they can fight to drop the charges. They told me that if I do not fight the case, my license will be revoked and will have to serve jail time. Since ...I never had any stint with law enforcement agencies, I thought these are good guys willing to help me out. They told me that cops reports are always misleading with verbiage like “Alcohol Smell” – that I do not need to worry as they see these kinds reports every day. I was asked for more than four thousand for representation which I agreed as I was told that Jeff was a district attorney before opening his private practice and will be able to leverage his relationship to resolve the case - so I thought it is worth paying this large amount. I never saw Jeff after first meeting – my case was handled by Robert Bodach. After two court dates, I realized that Robert has not even read the police report and watched video as he was clueless about my case. As an attorney, I thought he will have a strategy to win the case or negotiate for a sentence – I was wrong. The only thing he insisted was conviction – at the end, I decided to go for conviction as my attorney was not willing to do anything. If I knew that is how this law firm works – I would have convicted myself at first hearing to save myself from hassles. I did not want to write the review as this experience causes so much pain to me and my family when we think about Bob and Jeff, but to prevent others from going through same pain, I am writing this review. Please think twice before hiring this firm – I am not sure how they are getting five reviews.
