Jeffery John Tomczak

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.

We hired Jeff Tomczak and his Law Group. He told us about all his past accomplishments. Jeff assured us that we made a wise choice in choosing "The BEST Law Group in Will County" . After initially talking about the case, he said it would be an open and close case. He told me that HE would be the one ...working my case, however 3 months later, still no Tomczak. Instead, he sent one of his other attorneys, Bob Bodack. I called the office three times, left messages, and received no calls back. I finally got a call back from Jeff, because I stopped making payments. I did not want to hire the other attorneys at the law firm, I wanted Jeff. He said that all of the attorneys were his lawyers, and whoever was available would take the case. Due to Jeff's reputation, he was the one I wanted. However, Jeff no longer seems to want to take on cases, and just wants to take money for work poorly done. I did not hire Bob Bodack. I have never seen anything about Mr. Bodack, and would not have hired him if that was who I initially spoke with. He showed up late to every court date, had no information or knowledge of my case, and overall just did NOT have the confidence you would expect from a lawyer working for "The BEST Law Group in Will County". After I realized that Tomczak could not care less, I decided I no longer needed his law firm's services. DO YOUR RESEARCH. After making my decision, I found an awesome, young lawyer out of St. Charles, whom I am very pleased with. PS. We had to leave a star in order to leave a review. So, I guess we will leave one star for his initial presentation, because he had us fooled.

Attorneys Jeff Tomczak and Patricia Kalkanis gave my wife and I close to an hour of no charge consultation. Attorney Tomczak stated that they would take the case but thought the case would be dismissed at the hearing date. The Tomczak Law Group will defend if the case is not dismissed. If the case is... dismissed he saved us legal fees (against the law firms interest but in his potential clients interest). If the case is not dismissed I will hire this firm to represent us. A law firm with experience and integrity. I am a retired attorney.
