About Tony
Biography
My name is Attorney Anthony Tomkiewicz and I am a Civil, Traffic and Criminal Defense Attorney
If you need a DUI Lawyer, Traffic Lawyer, Criminal Lawyer, Personal Injury or general Civil Lawyer, you can call me on evenings and weekends, 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week for a free consultation. The attorney that you choose can greatly impact the outcome of your case.
I believe in a simple yet effective strategy: (1) fight first and fight to win, (2) negotiate second, (3) settle third and only if the offer is fair. Hire me and I will make all efforts to aggressively pursue your claim, ease your fears and reduce your stress. I will fight for you and protect you and protect your rights. I will advise you to accept only a fair outcome.
My record/reputation speaks for itself. I have included on this website a list of results of just some of the cases that I have handled in the past few years. I have tried at Jury well over 30 cases although I stopped counting years ago. I have tried hundreds of motions, hearings, and bench trials from petty offenses to class X felonies. Many of the felony cases that I handled involved charges from class 4 felonies up to class x and super x felonies such as: possession of a controlled substance, manufacturing and or delivery of a controlled substance, calculated criminal drug conspiracy, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and or assault, home invasion, unlawful/aggravated/reckless discharge of a firearm, and armed violence, just to name a few. Not only have I tried numerous felony cases but I have been successful in attaining acquittals and favorable rulings where others thought my case could not be won.
I have worked for large government offices including a municipal law department, two State’s Attorney’s offices, and as a contract assistant helping a Public Defender’s office with its overload of files. I also have valuable management experience as I supervised and controlled the misdemeanor and traffic divisions in one State’s Attorney’s office and I owned several businesses.
I will not take on too many clients so that I cannot give my clients the attention they deserve. I will not sell myself and then send young, inexperienced attorneys in my place. I will not settle a case just to quickly close another file and collect a fee nor will I delay a case to collect fees. I will not abandon a client due to financial difficulties. The most satisfying feeling for me is when my client leaves my office or the courthouse a winner or is at least happy with their results.
I look forward to speaking with you about your upcoming case.
Sincerely,
Anthony Tomkiewicz, Esq.
