Hammel's the best

Ted was prepared, professional and outstanding. Ted outshined the other attorney with his knowledge of the law. Worked within the law to prove my innocence. Definitely I recommend Ted for your legal needs!

Very Professional

We can't thank enough, Mr. Hammel for an amazing job he did. My father is a truck driver. In June he had an accident in Joliet, IL and was charged with failure to stop even though he wasn't speeding but most of the time for police officers if it's a truck driver it is automatically his fault. Mr Ham...mel helped my father through his case and they won it. We would recommend Mr. Hammel to everyone who needs help. He is not only professional in law, but also very polite and it's a pleasure to deal with him and his staff, especially Stacy. Thank you, Mr. Hammel!!!

Best Lawyer in Will County

I contacted Mr. Hammel regarding a traffic ticket that I was issued. Unfortunately, prior to contacting Mr. Hammel I missed my court date and fees as well as a judgment and suspension of my license were already in motion. Mr. Hammel was easily reachable and immediately instructed me as to what ...documents to send to him so that he could start the process of representing me in this matter. Mr. Hammel was beyond excellent. Additionally, this legal Assistant Stacey was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process extremely easy. I highly reccomend the Ted Hammel Law firm.

Excessive speeding -

I had my first ever ticket in over 40 years of driving and it was a serious one (41 over the limit). I was embarrassed, humbled and worried. After much research, I selected Ted Hammel to represent me. From the onset, Ted was great! He explained the consequences of my ticket, suggested a proactive ...action plan which included driving school and community service before I made my first appearance in Will County court. Long story short... Ted worked tirelessly on my behalf and got me a very successful outcome. If you have traffic offenses and need an attorney, hire Ted, and follow his instructions. His legal knowledge, professionalism, experience/ understanding of the Will County court system and determination/dedication to his clients will get you the best result. Thanks Ted!!!
