Best attorney money can buy !!!

I recently hired Alex Ktenas to represent me in a case where I was wrongfully accused, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Alex did an outstanding job defending me — he was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about my case. He was also very responsive anytime I texted him, which real...ly gave me peace of mind during a stressful time. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the state ended up dropping the case entirely. If you’re looking for an attorney who knows the law inside and out, communicates clearly, and will fight for you every step of the way, I highly recommend Alex Ktenas. He’s the real deal — you’ll be in good hands. -J M L

Posted by Latria | January 07, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

The BEST Lawyer, Hands Down!!!

I recently got my CDL and got a speeding ticket! I was taken aback because the police officer said I was doing over 20 miles above the speed limit when the sign clearly said 55 mph. I was in a bind because my court date was scheduled as the same day as my First day of orientation/training for my new ...trucking job! I had been looking for someone last minute because of how long it took the ticket to show in the system. I had gotten the ticket back at the end of November, the ticket still hadn’t shown in the system in mid December and only because I reached out to the Clerk’s office who reached out to the police dept who then FINALLY put the ticket in the system December 20th! I was desperate for an attorney because I couldn’t miss court and I couldn’t miss my first day at my new trucking job either, so I signed up for LegalShield—don’t worry about it, waste of time and money, don’t do it! Anyway, I reached out to Alex last minute on New Year’s Eve and he was so nice and helpful and reassured me that I had nothing to worry about! He was familiar with Chicago and south suburbs and even quoted me right then and there! Alex explained that because I had my commercial drivers license, some lawyers will try and get over and overcharge twice the amount—he only charged me $250 to represent me in court last minute! The other company told me it would be at least $500–ridiculous! He told me my options and how it would go down in court but he would try to get it dismissed first, and if that didn’t work (depending on the judge), he would move to get the ticket lessened from a moving violation to a non-moving violation—which means that I wouldn’t have a conviction on my driving record. He did me one even better...He got my case dismissed today!!!! I’m so happy, I don’t even know what to do!! Don’t waste your time or money with anyone else—go with Alex!! He’s got your best interest at heart and won’t rip you off! He’s familiar with the law, judges, courthouses and will do his best to win for you! I’m so grateful and I appreciate everything he’s done! Thank you again Alex!

Above Expectations

Alex represented me for a traffic citation and went above and beyond in handling the case. I explained my situation and he immediately knew what the possible outcomes of this case were. He was very professional and responsive to all of my questions. The entire process was seamless. I would highly rec...ommend Alex Ktenas anytime. BTW - The case was dismissed

Great Defense Attorney

Alex is a sheer genius in his profession. One can tell right away that he knows his stuff and is on top of his game. He is very professional and always available to his clients. He brings that personal human touch to the attorney client relationship which is rather unique and not often found in this ...profession. His fees are reasonable and he gets the job done for the fee he quotes. The case I hired him for was a complicated one. It took 2 court appearances and I was very nervous about what the outcome would be. Alex assured me from beginning to end that everything was going to be ok, and in the end, it was. In fact it was better than ok. He got the best outcome that was possible without going to trial. I was amazed and very satisfied. I feel like Attorney Alex Ktenas was God sent and I would recommend him to anyone needing a very good attorney. Thank you Alex.

Consultation

I recently had a phone consultation with Alex. Not only is he very knowledgeable, he took the time to answer every question I had. He was able to help put me at ease. I hope I do not need Alex's service, but if so I will definitely be calling him. Thank you Alex.
