Wonderful attorney for traffic violations

Terry Wallace is fantastic! I was driving home in a rush to get my daughter off the bus and I got a traffic violation for speeding. I initially went to court without an attorney and the judge laughed in my face. I received Terry's contact from a friend and I could not be more pleased. Mr. Wallace is... experienced, knowledgable and very personable. He got my violation reduced down to a petty offense. Thank the God for Terry Wallace a wonderful attorney and kind human being.

Speeding 26-34 mph over Limit

I was referred to Terry Wallace as a great lawyer for my situation, and I’m glad I reached out. From the consultation, he took the time to thoroughly assess my case and provided clear recommendations on what I should do before my court date to improve my outcome. Thanks to his guidance and preparatio...n, all I had to do was cover court fees and complete six months of court supervision. His expertise and professionalism made the process much smoother than I expected. Highly recommend!

Terry Wallace

I had Terry Wallace representing me on a driving on revoked with expired INTOXILOCK. Using his knowledge and experience was able to stall out the case which eventually lead to the the ticket being dismissed. He is very professional and dedicated to helping his clients in the courtroom.

The Definition of Success

I am not the type of person to ever go online and write a review . With these circumstances, I felt this was necessary. I have had many encounters with the law. When I say many, that’s an understatement. Let alone it being all within a matter of weeks apart. Majority of them being speeding 35+mph ove...r the limits. All being in Will County, I live in Cook County so that made it hard for me to have my lawyer that would normally represent me. I search for good lawyers on Google and like everybody else it can become chaotic and hectic, hoping and praying that who youre hiring knows what he/she is doing … Fortunately, the luck was in my favor because I hired Terry Wallace in 2023 each and every single time I can confidently say I had peace of mind every time knowing I had Terry by my side. He is overqualified in my opinion. But like Terry says “ i just do my Job.” My license got suspended at a point in time. Keep in mind I’m a salesman. I need my license. I panicked . ! I called Terry , that same day. He returned my phone call, had my license rescinded I didn’t even know that that was a word let alone possible I have gone to court and every single time I go home with a smile on my face don’t take my word for it. See for yourself if you need a lawyer Terry Wallace is the man like I say he’s the man with the plan.

Speeding ticket representation

Terry made my entire process simple and gave me great advice the entire way. Not only did we get the ideal outcome we were looking for, but it was more or less all settled before the judge walked into the room that morning. Down to earth, realistic, and knowledgeable. If you have any concerns with... traffic / speeding citations, let Terry represent you.
