Legal Genius

I can't say enough about Ted Hammel. I hired him for my Dui case. His knowledge of the law and the court system got my SS rescinded. I walked away with no charges on the entire case. I would recommend Ted Hammel to everyone, and I have .

When Quality Counts...... I'm Glad I chose Ted Hammel

I had an issue with a 15 year old traffic ticket. Subsequently it turned in to a warrant. Unknown to me, until it was brought to my attention. Since I no longer live in Illinois, Mr. Hammel represented on my behalf. His communication from minute one was thorough, attentive, and professional. He repre...sented me in court with my absence, exactly as I expected. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Hammel was in close communication with me regarding my case. Once everything was resolved, I was given another follow up phone call and any remaining questions were answered, by Mr. Hammel personally. I am glad to have had the opportunity to have Mr. Hammel as my attorney. I highly recommend his services to anybody who may need quality, personal, and thorough insight to your cases.

The Best Lawyer Around

Ted is by the best attorney and I would recommend him to anyone that is having legal trouble. He was able to get all charges dismissed and got my license back. If you are looking for a lawyer Ted is your man. His prices are comparable to other attorneys, but you get what you pay for. If you want ...to win your case Ted is your best shot.

Excellence at it's finest

Mr. Hammel reviewed and thoroughly went through my case that happened in January this year. He explained every step of the way and what the best course of action would be. Mr. Hammel isn't just insanely professional he cares for his clients and their well being. Mr. Hammel was honest and fair, nothin...g was sugar coated to make me believe something that wasn't true. He was relentless with the states attorney to see and ultimate end with nothing but satisfaction for his client. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Hammels services.

You want the best. Here's an honest story...

So, unfortunately... I'm human and like you need advice. You want the best. I know a lot of people who have been in multiple situations. I wish I didn't have good advice on the topic but, the whole point is Ted Hammel is the best. This is all true. I have had other people tell me about how they used ...him before and wished they used him again. That person is now struggling... I'm not making it up. I met someone who used Ted and, regretted not using him again. I was in a situation where Ted knew the law inside and out. He kept me from trouble that could have changed my life forever. He did everything in his power to help me. He will tell you how it is. Look up how long he has been practicing the law. I'm telling you this because your reading it for a reason. Make the best choice. He's your lawyer!
